FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) issued the following statement in response to the news that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will review all of ABC's station licenses:
“The FCC’s unconstitutional threats against ABC are the latest confirmation that Chairman Brendan Carr has weaponized what should be an independent agency in service of Donald Trump’s personal political agenda. The FCC has no authority to revoke ABC’s licenses just because the president can’t take a joke. It is reassuring that Disney, ABC’s parent company, has already signaled that they are prepared to fight this illegal overreach. They must call Carr’s bluff. Now Congress needs to step up to reign in an out-of-control FCC.”
Clayton Weimers
Executive Director, RSF North America
