The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has started several regulatory actions against Disney-owned ABC. These actions specifically target the program 'The View' and the company's broadcast licenses.

聯邦通信委員會 (FCC) 已對迪士尼旗下的 ABC 採取多項監管行動。這些行動特別針對節目《The View》以及該公司的廣播執照。

The current conflict focuses on the 'equal time' rule, which requires non-news programs to give equal opportunities to opposing political candidates. Chairman Brendan Carr has questioned whether 'The View' should still be classified as a 'bona fide news' program, a status it has held since 2002. This change in position happened after Democratic candidate James Talarico appeared on the show. Consequently, the FCC is now deciding if the program should lose its exemption. Meanwhile, the Media Research Center (MRC) has provided documents to the FCC, asserting that the show acts as a political tool rather than a professional news organization.

目前的衝突集中在「平等時間」規則，該規則要求非新聞節目必須給予對立的政治候選人平等機會。主席 Brendan Brendan Carr 質疑《The View》是否應繼續被歸類為「真實新聞」節目，而該節目自 2002 年起一直持有此地位。在民主黨候選人 James Talarico 出現於該節目後，這一立場發生了變化。因此，FCC 目前正在決定該節目是否應失去豁免權。與此同時，媒體研究中心 (MRC) 已向 FCC 提供文件，主張該節目扮演的是政治工具而非專業新聞機構。

At the same time, the FCC has started an unusual review of eight broadcast licenses owned by Disney. Although the commission claims this review is about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices, Commissioner Anna Gomez has described these actions as retaliatory. She emphasizes that the agency is using its power over licenses to pressure the network into changing its content, specifically mentioning threats against hosts like Jimmy Kimmel. Furthermore, this tension is increased because the commission currently has only three members, which makes it harder for dissenting voices to change majority decisions.

與此同時，FCC 開始對迪士尼擁有的八項廣播執照進行一項不尋常的審查。儘管委員會聲稱此次審查是關於多元、公平與包容 (DEI) 實踐，但委員 Anna Gomez 將這些行動描述為報復性的。她強調該機構正利用其對執照的權力來向該網絡施壓，迫使其更改內容，特別提到對 Jimmy Kimmel 等主持人的威脅。此外，由於委員會目前僅有三名成員，使得異議聲音更難改變多數決定，進而加劇了緊張局勢。

Different organizations have responded to these challenges in various ways. Disney has started a public campaign asking viewers to support the news status of 'The View' and has hired expert lawyers to fight the license reviews. In contrast, other media companies, such as Paramount, have previously settled legal disputes with the government to help their corporate mergers get approved. Additionally, a bipartisan group in the Senate has proposed new laws to stop 'jawboning,' which is the use of government authority to force companies to limit their speech.

不同組織對這些挑戰採取了不同的回應方式。迪士尼已發起一場公開活動，呼籲觀眾支持《The View》的新聞地位，並聘請專業律師來對抗執照審查。相比之下，其他媒體公司如派拉蒙 (Paramount)，先前則透過與政府達成法律和解，以協助其企業合併獲得批准。此外，參議院的一個跨黨派小組提議制定新法律以停止「行政施壓」(jawboning)，即利用政府權威強制公司限制其言論。

The situation is not yet resolved. The FCC is waiting for public comments by July 6, and the courts are considering whether the president has the authority to remove independent commissioners.

目前情況尚未解決。FCC 正在等待 7 月 6 日前的公眾評論，而法院則在考慮總統是否有權撤換獨立委員。
