FCC launching probe into ABC's 'The View' amid crackdown on equal time for candidates

'Fake News is not getting a free pass anymore,' an FCC source told Fox News Digital

FIRST ON FOX — The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is launching an investigation into ABC's "The View" amid the agency's crackdown on equal time for political candidates, Fox News Digital has learned.

Last month, the FCC announced it will require the broadcast networks to adhere to the "statutory equal opportunities requirement," citing the Communications Act of 1934, "including their airing of late-night and daytime talk shows."

A source at the FCC told Fox News Digital that Monday's "View" appearance by Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico triggered the probe.

President Trump Readies Rule to Make American Workers’ Retirement Great Again

For too long, America’s retirement system has worked for the few, not the many.

Wall Street insiders, wealthy elites, and big public pension funds have built wealth via the private markets – private equity, private credit, and real estate. Meanwhile, hardworking Americans are told to stay in their lane. If you work a regular job and save through a 401(k), you are effectively shut out from greater choice and investment access for your well-earned money.

NEW🔥: 5th Circuit Court of Appeals OVERTURNS lower court ruling in 2-1 decision, upholding Trump administration's authority to detain illegal immigrants without bond hearings across Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

The ruling reverses district court orders that had blocked the policy, marking the first federal appellate court to back the administration's detention approach.

Judges Edith Jones and Kyle Duncan ruled that the executive branch has broad authority to shift from prior administrations' practices of releasing noncitizens on bond, stating that past leniency doesn't restrict current enforcement.

Judge Dana Douglas dissented, warning the decision could enable detention without bond for up to two million noncitizens—including long-term residents—without historical precedent.

The ruling sets up a likely Supreme Court showdown over presidential detention powers.

‘Jihad by Immigration’: Mamdani Slammed for Invoking Islamic ‘Hijrah’ to Defend NYC Sanctuary Policy

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani invoked Islam’s Hijrah — a concept he framed as a religious model for migration — as he rolled out a sanctuary-related executive order Friday, drawing backlash from critics who accused him of using religious doctrine to justify mass migration and shield illegal immigrants from federal enforcement.
