ABC’s ‘The View’ Reportedly Firing Show’s Lone Conservative Over ‘Extreme’, ‘Right-Wing’ Views
The Blaze ^ | 3/8/13 | Jason Howerton

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is being fired from ABC’s “The View” because market researchers found that her conservative views were out of touch with the show’s 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 Hasselbeck’s 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.

Well, Duh. I’m surprised she lasted this long. Who’s watching that crap, anyway? Oh, that’s right - unemployed Baby Mamas. *SNORT*

Having never seen the show I can’t say if this gal’s opinion were “extreme” or not.

But something tells me that they are “extreme” only in the minds of left leaning libeerals.

Left wingers will not condone those who disagree with them.

They do not wish their bias threatened.

I suppose they will replace Hasselbeck with a Juan Williams type female Conservative.

This actually speaks volumes about Conservative women being too busy as wives and mothers to watch a show like The View.

My guess is that Hasselback has been too competent at defending her POV.

That’s amusing because, as much as I think Hasselbeck is a reliable Republican, too few of her viewpoints are as “right-wing” as mine ;-)

Isn't this the exact argument that liberals used to justify "net neutrality"? People only wanting to see things they agree with and not being exposed to new ideas? Guess it's time for "network neutrality".

Good because she deserves it for being the conservative useful idiot to those total scumbags on that show. I wouldn’t ever hire her after selling out to the worst of the worst.

I have never watched the show except for a few minutes while waiting in a Dr’s. office. I have seen some of them quoted.

Basically they are as weird and crazy as one can be and still be able to walk around. They are an indication as to just how Satanic this country has become. I started to say Marxist and that would be right but Satanic seems to fit even better.

I guess it has never occurred to them how many people don’t watch because of the uber liberals that dominate the show. I’ll bet it’s alot more than the ones that don’t watch because of Elizabeth. Don’t she how she stood it that long anyway.
