ABC is going all-in to shore up support for its extremist, left-wing daytime gabfest, The View by hosting TV ads urging viewers to contact the FCC to show support for the hardcore, leftist fake news-pushing show.

ABC is facing several proceedings before the FCC, led by Trump-appointed Chairman Brendan Carr, as detractors of The View, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and other shows begin pushing for sanctions against the network for violating equal time for opposing viewpoints and other rules.

ABC debuted its first spot on Monday urging fans to tell the FCC that The View is a “bona fide” news program. The ads will also air online, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“The View has welcomed your favorite guests for nearly 30 years. Now the FCC wants to control who is allowed to appear on the show. Tell the FCC to let the viewers decide,” the spot states as it opens with video of Barbara Walters hosting the show.

While Barbara Walters was one of the founders of the far-left show in 1997, she retired from her spot on the panel back in 2014, and even since passed away in 2022. So, she has not been associated with The View for more than a decade.

The View is not a “news” program, it is a bona fide total in kind campaign contribution to the Democrats. It’s revenue should be considered an illegal campaign contribution because it is not reported as what it truly is.
