Specifically, their political rhetoric and bashing of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic had a meeting with the harridans of <em>The View<\/em> and suggested that viewers might want a little less politics and perhaps more diverse discussions and guests.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, the hosts of <em>The View<\/em> weren\u2019t happy about it.<\/p>\n<p>Anna Navarro seemed to believe that the viewers tuned in to hear political discourse instead of a Women\u2019s chat show.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s reported, the hosts of <em>The View<\/em> called the request \u201cSilly\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em>The View<\/em> has been at the top of the ratings (surprisingly,) through the first part of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>My Mother was a regular viewer until the hosts veered into politics full time. Prior to tuning them out completely, she\u2019d switch channels the moment the hosts started shrieking and talking over each other, (her words, not mine).<\/p>\n<p>My mother was a big fan of Barbara Walters. She stayed with <em>The View<\/em> for years after Walters left the show.<\/p>\n<p>I think the ladies at <em>The View<\/em> are missing the handwriting on the wall. Their constant ranting may be becoming a liability. Prior to the 2024 election, the hosts of <em>The View<\/em> had to issue multiple retractions on-air over some of their comments. The trouble with retractions like that, is they\u2019re meaningless. No matter what\u2019s being retracted, it\u2019s been said and there are a ton of folks who only hear the statement, not the retraction. (Hmm. That\u2019s kind of like distributing misinformation. Isn&#8217;t the <em><u>Left<\/u><\/em> adamantly opposed to even allowing misinformation?)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s likely the show is keeping a cadre of lawyers busy, which no doubt increases production costs.<\/p>\n<p>Other reports alluded to some FCC involvement as well. How true that is, I\u2019m not sure.<\/p>\n<p>Media, has paid a dear price for misrepresenting Trump\u2019s comments. CBS is being sued for election interference due to their editing of the Kamala Harris interview.<\/p>\n<p>ABC has also felt the heat.<\/p>\n<p>Now with the wheels coming off the cover-up of Biden\u2019s mental and physical state during his presidency, and Jake Tapper\u2019s book. I wonder if Disney and ABC are looking at ways to limit their liability.<\/p>\n<p>Cancellation of <em>The View <\/em>might be in the offing if the hosts choose not to tone it down.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, that might be a good thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The view spew&#8221;, seems to be reflected directly in the anti-Trump protests. The question is whether <em>The View<\/em> is accurately reporting the protestors opinions, or creating them.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, when Trump screws up it should be reported. That is true of any President. However incredibly biased reporting shouldn\u2019t be tolerated.<\/p>\n<p>We know for a fact, based on recent revelations, that media was running cover for President Biden, for at least a part of his presidency.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s reasonable to assume that as polarized as things are, that same media will take any opportunity to bash and attempt to destroy anyone that they disagree with. A.K.A. Donald Trump, Conservatives, Republicans, etc.<\/p>\n<p>A fundamental question that should be asked, and answered; what is <em>The View<\/em>? Is the show a news show with journalistic integrity, or is it a chat show for entertainment? The two have very different expectations and rules.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I wouldn\u2019t mind seeing <em>The View<\/em> cancelled. I\u2019m no more interested in what those screeching harridans have to say, than the man in the moon. Yet, even though I don\u2019t watch the show, I\u2019m assaulted by their inane opinions anytime I read the news.<\/p>\n<p>Men typically, and executives specifically, don\u2019t look kindly upon people who don\u2019t get the hint. If their \u201csilly\u201d request isn\u2019t taken seriously, and it appears it was not, then I suspect cancellation or not renewing contracts is in the works. Does Joy Reid ring any bells?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I could be interested in tuning in to their last show. The wailing and gnashing of teeth should be epic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a report in The Daily Beast saying the hosts of The View have been asked to tone it down.
