flag FCC investigates The View over unequal political guest airtime, questioning its news exemption.

flag The FCC is investigating ABC’s The View over potential violations of the equal time rule after Democratic Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett received over 17 minutes of airtime across three segments, while her opponent James Talarico got just under 10 minutes. flag The probe questions whether the daytime talk show qualifies for the "bona fide news" exemption that would exempt it from the rule, noting no equal-time waiver was filed by Disney, ABC’s parent company. flag The FCC has signaled that such programs may not meet the criteria for the exemption, raising concerns about how political guests are treated on non-news programming. flag The outcome could require The View to offer time to other candidates, including Republican Senator John Cornyn, and may prompt broader changes in how talk shows handle political content.
