Jane Fonda Slams FCC’s Review of ABC Licenses as ‘Naked Attempt to Weaponize Government Power Against Dissent’

Jane Fonda has expressed strong criticism regarding the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) recent order that mandates Disney's ABC-owned local stations to seek early renewal of their broadcast licenses. Fonda, an actor and activist known for her advocacy work, described the FCC's actions as a "naked attempt to weaponize government power against dissent."

This order was issued shortly after public comments made by President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, which Fonda suggests may indicate a politically motivated agenda behind the FCC's decision. As the founder of the modern Committee for the First Amendment, Fonda's remarks highlight concerns about the implications of government influence on media and the potential impact on free speech.
