WASHINGTON, May 11 (Reuters) - The Trump administration is engaged in a targeted effort to censor Disney DIS.N and its ABC network through a series of sweeping regulatory actions, the sole Democrat on the Federal Communications Commission said Monday.

"What Disney and ABC are facing is not a series of coincidental regulatory actions but a sustained, coordinated campaign of censorship and control, carried out through the weaponization of the FCC’s authority as a federal regulator and aimed at pressuring a free and independent press and all media

into submission," said FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez in a letter to Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro.
