The View Went All of 2025 Without a ‘Legal Note,’ But They Were Needed
NewsBusters got under the skin of ABC’s The View when we did our first study counting their infamous “legal notes” (three dozen in one year), back in 2022.

Federal law enforcement quickly and expeditiously dismantled an ongoing terror plot that would have wreaked chaos and destruction across Southern California, had it been allowed to go undetected.
