MRC Calls Out The View for Urging Midterm Democratic Votes to Save Lives

The co-hosts on ABC's daytime talk show The View urged viewers to vote for Democrats in the midterm elections.

The program claimed that human lives literally depend on voting against Donald Trump and Republicans.

The show framed the upcoming electoral contest as a dire matter of physical survival for the audience.

Telling people who they should vote for or against is electioneering, which is a violation of ABC’s broadcast license. 

The View’s history of electioneering was a critical part of the Media Research Center’s filing to the Federal Communications Commission calling for their status as a “bona fide news program” to be revoked.

Jon Stewart returned to Comedy Central and pressed Utah Governor Spencer Cox on why the state does not force bakers to service same-sex weddings.

Stewart framed Utah religious freedom compromises as a contemptuous position that fails to fully recognize the humanity of gay citizens.

Governor Cox defended the legislation by noting the legal protections work both ways to safeguard religious liberty for all individuals.

The exchange highlights how elitist media figures dismiss First Amendment protections for everyday workers and business owners.
