There seems to be a clash of views within the ABC daytime talk show "The View" over the hyper-political coverage it has become known for.
The Daily Beast reported about an apparent rift between the ladies of "The View" and the top brass at the company, going all the way up to Disney CEO Bob Iger, about a desire for the hosts to cool off the politics.
Notably, all six of the co-hosts (Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro) voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election and are outspoken critics of President Donald Trump.
"[ABC News president Almin] Karamehmedovic convened a meeting with The View's executive producer Brian Teta and its hosts, and suggested the panel needed to broaden its conversations beyond its predominant focus on politics, two sources familiar with the meeting said," the Daily Beast reported Wednesday. "Karamehmedovic highlighted episodes with celebrity guests that he said were highly rated, one source said, and encouraged them to lean into such coverage moving forward."
According to the report, "The View" co-host Ana Navarro forcefully pushed back, insisting their audience want their perspectives on politics. Navarro reportedly took her message directly to Iger, who she thanked for allowing them to keep doing their jobs, though Iger "reaffirmed that the show needed to tone down its political rhetoric" while expressing his support for "The View."
"Ultimately, the women found the requests ‘silly’ and that ‘they were just going to keep doing their thing,’" the Daily Beast wrote.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
End it, don’t mend it..............
What else would they ramble about?
Are the four jointly and severally liable for the liability judgements handed down
LOL, “Spirit Cooking” show...
The network is likely concerned over Trump’s growing popularity. If they don’t get ahead of this situation it might lead to serious viewership loss, something similar to Bud Lite .
They don’t want to be sued for 20 billion dollars like CBS.
Just cancel it.
Can ANYBODY even imagine one of the major networks airing a show featuring 6 Conservative Trump supporting women set in a fairly rural setting in red state America to spew out pro Right of Center propaganda for 3 hours every week day for YEARS?
Of course not.
You fix ignorance but you cannot fix stupid.
A government of, by, and for the people, requires a certain clarity between what is news and information vs. agenda driven propaganda and entertainment by those attempting to gain an outcome. Otherwise we are just a mess of a place.
The Holy Spirit!
They’re right, White leftist kook karens tune in to hear their nonsense because it helps support their lunacy.
Have you heard about the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni lawsuit...
Disney is up to its corporate eyeballs in that one.
The New View - Recipes to make you Fat, Dumb and Ugly!
I've heard about it but haven't followed it. What's the Cliff NOtes on it?
More industrial strength duct tape for the Disney evil Queens!!!
Lilo & Stitch remake???
How recent was the original!
What do you think the record is for how short of time between original and remake of a major motion picture?
I bet if they had to sign something that they would accept full liability for running their mouths they would change their tune.
Wouldn’t it be lovely if they were all called in and handed a box of their belongs and escorted out.
F Sunny with the ‘alleged accused possibly/maybe soon to be convicted felon husband’, fat turd shaped Whoopee and esp Bridge Troll Joy.
I hope their bosses balls drop soon and they deal with these vicious vipers like real men would
These lefties have probably told a million lies about President Trump.
He gets to pick which ones he wants to sue on....
