The View: A conservative legal group is urging the FCC to reject ABC’s claim that its daytime talk show The View qualifies for a “bona fide news interview” exemption under the equal‑time rules, arguing the program is entertainment, not journalism. In a June 22 filing with the agency, Center for American Rights President Daniel Suhr said ABC violated federal law by failing to provide required political‑file disclosures and by treating The View as news. The group wrote, “ABC broke the law, because The View is neither bona fide nor news.” It urged the FCC to sanction TV station KTRK [ABC13 Houston] and enforce federal law as written.
