Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr said Thursday that ABC’s “The View” may face scrutiny under federal broadcasting rules if it is determined not to be a bona fide news program.
In an appearance on conservative commentator Scott Jennings’s podcast, Carr raised the question of whether the daytime talk show still qualifies as exempt from the FCC’s equal time rule. That rule requires broadcast stations to provide equal airtime and access to competing political candidates.
