Commissioner Gomez Calls on Disney to Fight FCC Censorship

Federal Communications Commissioner Anna Gomez sent a letter to Walt Disney Company CEO Josh D'Amaro documenting the record of the Trump Administration's campaign of censorship and control against Disney, calling out the FCC's double standard in its selective enforcement against the company, and encouraging Disney to continue fighting. The letter marks the first formal communication to Disney's leadership from a federal regulator since D'Amaro assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer. “What Disney and ABC are facing is not a series of coincidental regulatory actions but a sustained, coordinated campaign of censorship and control, carried out through the weaponization of the FCC's authority as a federal regulator and aimed at pressuring a free and independent press and all media into submission,” Commissioner Gomez wrote.
