FIRE(@TheFIREorg):ABC's refusal to quietly allow the federal government to dictate the range of viewpoints it may air without fear of retaliation is welcome and commendable. The Federal Communications Commission is not and cannot become the nation's censor-in-chief, as its Chairman once recognized. The First Amendment will protect the private institutions that fight back against the executive branch's speech policing. FIRE will fight to keep the government from deciding for us what we are free to say, see, and hear.
