There are some media fights that cool off for a minute and then come roaring right back the second a new pressure point appears. ABC and Disney are in that position again now, and this time the stakes look a lot higher than another ugly cable-news cycle. What started as a furious backlash over Jimmy Kimmel’s remarks about First Lady Melania Trump has turned into something far more serious, with new reporting saying the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is preparing to move up reviews of Disney’s ABC station licenses. That has immediately raised the temperature around the company all over again, because this no longer looks like just another partisan media spat — it looks like a regulatory escalation.
