WASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - A Democratic member of
the Federal Communications Commission said Thursday that calls
by President Donald Trump to urge the agency to rescind licenses
held by ABC stations would fail in court.
Trump said Tuesday that broadcasting licenses used by
affiliates of Walt Disney's ( DIS ) ABC should be "taken away"
after he disagreed with a question posed by a reporter for the
network. FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez said any effort to revoke
licenses over a reporter's question would not pass legal muster.
