Background
ABC News is the news division of the ABC broadcast network, owned by The Walt Disney Company. Disney settled a defamation lawsuit brought by Donald Trump for $15 million paid to his library, and ABC later suspended the Jimmy Kimmel program after the FCC chairman pressured broadcasters. Disney’s ABC subsequently petitioned the FCC to recognize The View as a bona fide news program amid an enforcement dispute over the equal-time rule.
