Disney files lawsuit against FCC and Chairman Brendan Carr

Disney has initiated a lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and its Chairman Brendan Carr, aiming to halt what it describes as a campaign of censorship by the Trump administration against ABC. The complaint was filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia and includes a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to stop FCC proceedings that could deny broadcast license renewals for ABC stations. The lawsuit claims that the FCC has violated the First Amendment by retaliating against Disney's protected expression, alleging that the administration has repeatedly attacked ABC’s reporting and programming viewpoints, culminating in demands to revoke its broadcast licenses due to its speech.
