FCC Investigates ABC After James Talarico Appears on "The View"

The FCC is pursuing enforcement action against ABC after James Talarico appeared on "The View" during his campaign for the US Senate.This investigation follows a January policy update by Brendan Carr stating that talk shows are not automatically exempt from the equal time rule requiring fair broadcast access for all political candidates.The agency's scrutiny intensified after Stephen Colbert claimed CBS blocked his own interview with James Talarico to avoid similar regulatory obligations.
