Former ABC News Journalists Sign Letter Supporting Network As It Pushes Back On FCC: “This Is Political Retaliation, Not Regulatory Enforcement”
- Former ABC News journalists are speaking out.
- They’re defending the network against the FCC.
- The word is: it’s all about politics, not rules.
We just saw some pretty interesting news break about ABC News. A whole bunch of folks who used to work there, like, over 100 of them, have signed a letter. They’re standing up for the network.
Why? Because the FCC (that’s the Federal Communications Commission) is looking into things at ABC. Specifically, they’re checking out the show ‘The View’ and some rules about ‘equal time’ for political stuff. It’s got a bit of a heavy, maybe slightly dull, bureaucratic vibe to it, you know?
But these former journalists? They don’t think it’s about enforcing rules. Nope. They think it’s pure political payback. The letter they signed says it loud and clear: “This Is Political Retaliation, Not Regulatory Enforcement.” Ouch.
Lisa Stark, who used to be a correspondent, and some other big names from ABC’s past helped get this letter together. It’s a strong statement from people who know the inside game.
Our Take
This really makes you wonder, doesn’t it? When so many people who *know* the ins and outs of a place say something is political, you have to pay attention. It feels like more than just a simple disagreement. We’re hoping for some clarity soon!
