ABC says Trump agency order on ABC's 'The View' is invalid

Disney-owned ABC said the Trump administration's attempt to apply equal-time rules to daytime talk show 'The View' is invalid and threatens the network's free speech rights. The dispute centers on political broadcast regulation and could create legal and compliance uncertainty for the network, but it is unlikely to have a major near-term market impact.
