Trump’s FCC Targets ABC and The View as His Approval Collapses

Trump’s FCC Targets ABC and The View as His Approval Collapses

Author: TJ Walker June 23, 2026 Duration: 10:23
On today’s episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ breaks down ABC’s fight with Brendan Carr’s FCC as the agency reviews whether The View should continue to qualify as a bona fide news program and places pressure on ABC-owned local station licenses. TJ argues this is not neutral regulation. It is political retaliation dressed up as oversight. As Donald Trump faces brutal approval numbers and deep public anger over the economy, the FCC’s pressure campaign against ABC raises a bigger question: is the government trying to intimidate broadcasters that criticize the president? This episode looks at the fight over The View, ABC’s public campaign to defend its stations, the broader threat to local news, and why press freedom matters most when presidents are weak, angry, and unpopular.
