Fox News reporter: Trump FCC targeting ‘The View’ could impact network some day

Date: Category:politics Views:3 Comment:0

Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna warned over the weekend that President Trump’s criticism of networks and shows such as ABC and “The View” could eventually hit conservative media outlets under a Democratic presidential administration.

“As much as it would be nice to think about, like, ‘Oh, “The View’s” gonna go away. Whew, that sounds nice,’ we also have to consider this isn’t the only administration that’s going to be there forever,” Acuna said during an appearance on “The Big Weekend Show”.

“A tool that can be used by this administration can very well be used by the next. And if they were able to do away with ‘The View,’ they could very well — the next administration that comes in that doesn’t like Fox could do the same.”

The reporter’s comments were first highlighted by Mediaite.

Trump has repeatedly ridiculed ABC News over its coverage of his administration, and threatened to use the power of his Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to scrutinize the network’s broadcast license.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr, during a recent interview on Fox, suggested “The View,” the network’s table talk news and debate program, could face “consequences” over panelists’ criticisms of Trump.
