🚨 NEW: In a blistering letter, FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez is publicly condemning her own agency over what she describes as the Trump administration’s escalating attack on The Walt Disney Company and ABC.
Gomez warns: “What Disney and ABC are facing is not a series of coincidental regulatory actions but a sustained, coordinated campaign of censorship and control, carried out through the weaponization of the FCC’s authority as a federal regulator and aimed at pressuring a free and independent press and all media into submission.”
In what she calls “the most egregious assault on the First Amendment this FCC has taken to date,” Gomez writes that the agency has ordered Disney’s eight ABC-owned stations to seek early license renewal — “a mechanism that has not been invoked in more than half a century.”
She urges Disney to fight back: “Disney has been here before. When the state of Florida came after the company with the full weight of its government, Disney fought back and won. The same resolve that carried that fight can carry you in this one. The First Amendment does not belong to this Administration to grant or withhold.”
This is an extraordinary warning from inside the FCC itself.
