FCC chair warns 'The View' faces 'uphill climb' in equal-time probe

ABC's "The View" is under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) review after Chairman Brendan Carr said the long-running talk show faces an "uphill climb" in proving it qualifies as a legitimate news program.

"The View" is at the center of an investigation by the FCC over the agency's equal-time rules, which prevent media from favoring certain political candidates. The investigation follows increased FCC scrutiny of political segments on entertainment programs.
