The United States Federal Communications Commission is under pressure from President Donald Trump's administration to censor ABC, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Monday.
According to the outlet, the news reached the channel's owner, The Walt Disney Company, through Federal Communications Commissioner Anna Gomez, who sent a letter to the entertainment giant's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Josh D'Amaro. She allegedly warned Disney that the agency and its Chairman, Brendan Carr, have been instructed to pressure "a free and independent press and all media into submission."
The report came after Trump demanded Disney fire Jimmy Kimmel, the host of an ABC late-night show, over a joke he made about First Lady Melania Trump. Later, the US FCC ordered an early licence review of Disney's television stations.
