ABC says broad cross-ideological support backs 'The View' amid FCC probe

ABC told the FCC that a "broad and cross-ideological consensus" of public commenters supports the editorial independence of "The View" amid an ongoing FCC investigation. The probe centres on whether the daytime talk show should face restrictions on featuring political candidates as guests. ABC's legal team reiterated its argument that the show qualifies for a news-exemption under communications law.
