## Resource

Conservative groups are launching a fierce legal battle against ABC’s broadcast licenses, accusing the network of rampant political, racial, and sexual bias — even alleging ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Fueled by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s unusual request for ABC to reapply years early, watchdogs like the Center for American Rights and Media Research Center are demanding ABC be stripped of its public airwaves, citing violations of news integrity and discrimination. Meanwhile, the FCC is investigating “The View” for possible equal time rule breaches, and the Article III Project is targeting Disney’s hiring practices. With deadlines looming and potential courtroom showdowns ahead, the future of ABC’s licenses hangs in the balance — and there’s no rush to resolve it.
