The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has initiated an investigation into the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices of Disney and ABC. Under the leadership of Chairman Brendan Carr, the probe addresses concerns about potential violations of diversity policies, with Carr indicating that the FCC is prepared to block mergers and acquisitions in the media industry based on these practices. This scrutiny aligns with a broader trend of governmental oversight regarding corporate DEI initiatives, following heightened political pressure and calls for accountability from conservative factions.
