Elisabeth Hasselbeck is being fired from ABCs The View because market researchers found that her conservative views were out of touch with the shows audience, according to a report in Us Weekly.
The magazine, citing unnamed sources, reported Friday that Hasselbeck will be leaving the show along with Joy Behar, an outspoken far-left liberal who quit the show by choice.
The viewers they polled all said she was too extreme and right-wing, a show insider whose name was not reported told UsMagazine.com about Hasselbeck Friday. People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth. So they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed.
TV Newser later reported similar developments. The site referenced two separate sources that confirmed the conservative co-host was leaving The View. A spokesman for the ABC show told TV Newser that Hasselbeck has a long-term contract.
If Hasselbecks conservatism is a problem with audiences, it would appear to be a relatively new one; she has been on the show for nearly ten years with no apparent fuss, the Huffington Post notes.

Baba Wawa must be close to a hundred. I bet she knew Stalin personally. She might have even knew Karl Marx.
Yeah I heard the witch might be taking the place of Piers Morgan cause his show is an epic fail..but when Behar was on CNN no one watched why would they bother with her again..maybe The View can replace her with Van Jones or Michael Moore after all they both share the views of the idiots who watch that garbage
They will replace her with Megan McCain. Believe it.
I know a proud-homosexual retired teacher who thinks the show is marvelous.
I really enjoy The Walking Dead. Outside of that I mostly watch I.D. channel.
I used to watch Discovery, but nothing seems to come on there anymore.
I don’t really care about gold or moonshine or fast cars so...
I also watch Netflix as well.
Chris I forgot about walking dead but yes for the most part we watch Netflix and that is because we can choose what we want and what is in the movie, or program plus they have some decent history or interesting programs on.
Same here about discovery, they used to be good but gold, moonshine etc is not really my interest thing
I never watch the show but to have McCain on there preaching how we should all change and accept feces turd poking sex is down right sickening and yet the left loves that kind of crap and no pun intended.
Where is her father on this too?

Where is her father on this too?
My oldest speaks up about what marriage is and what parents are and he is 15 and yes I raised all my kids as conservatives, so John you failed and was not there as a parent
She served the role that the “Washington Generals” do for the Harlem Globetrotters.
GOod one!

IOW, she didn’t belong on that POS show in the first place.
She could have a show opposite the View and help finish them off.
Thanks Nachum.
happy happy happy
Now the Cafe Moms can watch the show with unabated liberal ease and Whoopie and BaBa can have the floor all to themselves ... (applause)
Now surely without Elizabeth Hasselbeck the show will gain market share (applause)
(sarc)
I think Elizabeth Hasselbeck will find a new job where she is a lot more appreciated
Walters is 83 years old...this whole panel will be turning over in short order...
Unfortunately; they vote, based on the propaganda fed to them on these shows....
Fat girls really dislike thin ones. Black gals really dislike blondes. Not sure how she lasted that long.
Seen it twice.....she is NO conservative....she’s just a little less liberal than the other biddies.....and she’s not hateful.
Just another example of how our Lib/Prog champions of tolerance and diversity have absolutely no tolerance for diversity.
And they're just as good looking as Behar.
