Disney sues FCC over challenge to broadcast licenses, claims retaliation over 'Jimmy Kimmel'

Disney has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission alleging a First Amendment rights violation. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr defended the agency's actions, stating broadcasters must operate in the public interest. This legal action follows an early review of eight ABC local broadcast licenses by the FCC. ABC had accused the agency of attempting to chill constitutionally protected free speech across media outlets.
