Disney's lawsuit alleged that ABC has reduced political candidate appearances on "The View" and changed its selection of video clips in response to pressure from the Federal Communications Commission on ABC stations. The lawsuit did not specify which candidates were not booked or what FCC communications prompted the changes. Disney did not provide a timeline for when these alterations began.
