Former FCC Officials Seek Court Action to Repeal News Distortion Policy
Former FCC officials are urging a federal appeals court to force a vote on repealing the News Distortion Policy, which they claim has been misused by current FCC Chair Brendan Carr. The policy was invoked to pressure ABC into suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel, and the officials argue it threatens press freedom. The group seeks a legal mandate to compel the FCC to act on the repeal petition.
