A conservative media watchdog asks the FCC to remove ABC’s daytime program “The View” from protected news status. In an 18-page letter submitted to the FCC, the Media Research Center argues the long-running show functions as a partisan political operation rather than a legitimate news program, and therefore should not qualify for protections tied to news programming. The watchdog also contends that the show’s role in political discussion raises issues under equal time rules, urging regulators to treat it more like partisan content than neutral reporting. The request is framed as an FCC challenge to the show’s current classification, which the watchdog says has allowed “The View” to operate under standards different from other programs. The filings signal that the dispute over how the show should be regulated is continuing, with the watchdog seeking a change in how the FCC categorizes “The View.”
