"Carr's letter to ABC/Disney indicates an accelerated review of their broadcast licenses, purportedly due to violations of DEI requirements, which many see as a pretext for political pressure."
"The claim that ABC's diversity practices are racist against white men is viewed as profoundly stupid and legally baseless, undermining the integrity of the Communications Act."

Brendan Carr's FCC is accelerating the review of ABC's broadcast licenses, allegedly due to violations of DEI requirements. This move is seen as a politically motivated effort to pressure ABC into firing Jimmy Kimmel for a joke about the president's wife. Carr's legal argument claims that ABC's diversity practices are discriminatory against white men, which is viewed as baseless. Most ABC licenses are owned by local broadcasters aligned with the right, who have benefited from favorable treatment under the Trump administration.
