周二的听讯可能会决定FCC主席是否可以继续推进他对ABC八个广播执照的早期审查。
Tuesday’s hearing could determine whether the FCC chair can move forward with his early review of ABC’s eight broadcast licenses.
一位联邦法官周二似乎对联邦通信委员会试图将ABC的八个广播执照拖入提前审查的举动表示怀疑。
A federal judge appeared skeptical Tuesday of the Federal Communications Commission’s attempts to haul in ABC’s eight broadcast licenses for an unprecedented early review.
华盛顿特区的美国地区法官洛伦·别利汗(Loren AliKhan)似乎赞同ABC的主张，即她的法庭可以介入FCC的命令，将八个执照提前审查。别利汗还质疑了FCC的说法，即该审查与ABC多样性、公平与包容实践相关的歧视调查中的一次证据发现纠纷有关。"鉴于我们从总统和卡尔委员那里收到的所有评论，这似乎仅仅是关于一次证据发现纠纷，"别利汗在听讯中说道。
U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan of Washington, D.C., appeared to agree with ABC’s claims her court could intervene in the FCC’s order hauling in the eight licenses years ahead of schedule. AliKhan also questioned the FCC’s claim that the review is tied to a discovery dispute in a discrimination investigation involving ABC’s diversity, equity and inclusion practices. “It strikes me with all the comments that we have from the president and from Commissioner Brendan Carr that this is merely over a discovery dispute,” AliKhan said during the hearing.
她补充说："我想我们与您的许多许可人之间有很多证据发现纠纷。那么是什么使得这不同，以至于您需要要求提前执照续期呢？"
She added, “I imagine we have a lot of discovery disputes with a lot of your licensees. So what is it that made this so different that you needed to call for an early license renewal?”
