The View Spoke to ZERO Conservative, Pro-Trump Guests in 2025 (So Far)
On July 25, ABC News program, The View concluded their 28th season, putting them on hiatus until return for Season 29 in September.

Looking back into 2024…

Abdicating Accountability? ABC’s The View Ditches Legal Notes in 2025
In 2022 when NewsBusters first counted the legal notes being delivered by ABC’s The View, we found that they were forced to issue exactly three dozen (36) of them. A lot can change in two and a half years. The View has issued exactly ZERO legal notes, thus far in 2025. That’s despite the fact that there was more than enough need for them.

Behar Sparks Cancelation Speculation With Accidental 'Hiatus' Comment
It was a perfect storm of miscommunication. On Thursday, ABC News co-host Joy Behar sparked speculation that The View was cancelled after she accidentally announced that they were soon to start their summer “hiatus,” which had been kept close to the chest. The announcement was made off the cuff and came mere hours after President Trump had suggested the show was in danger of…

White House Warns The View to ‘Self-Reflect’ Before ‘Pulled Off-Air’
As NewsBusters has documented in recent days, ABC News program, The View had made some pretty incendiary and heinous accusations against President Trump; accusing of everything from “crimes against humanity” to “treason.” The White House had apparently had enough, because in a statement to Fox News on Wednesday, the administration called out the show and warned them to straighten up…

Behar Wants Trump Sued for ‘Defamation’ Over Obama ‘Treason’ Claim
The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View were up in arms Wednesday over President Trump accusing former President Obama of “treason” in regard to the Russia Collusion Hoax. Co-host Joy Behar went so far as to demand that Trump be sued for “defamation” over it. An interesting demand considering that The View had accused Trump of treason several times over the years (particularly…

ABC’s Hostin: Colbert Firing ‘Is the Dismantling of Our Constitution'
The firing of “comedian” Stephen Colbert by CBS had the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View in a tizzy, as they finally got around to discussing it on Tuesday. Of course, co-host Sunny Hostin poured on the incendiary rhetoric, suggesting that his firing (with a 10-month ramp) “is the dismantling of our Constitution.” She also seemed to hint at political violence as a possible answer.

'Sometimes You Just Can’t Help It!' Whoopi Defends Cheating CEO
Leave it to someone on The View to defend something so morally repugnant most of society was on the same page against it. In a very un-Disney move, on Monday, ABC moderator Whoopi Goldberg came out in support of cheating former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot and their extramarital affair. She argued that “sometimes you just can’t help it,” and “she’s…

The View Stokes GOP Divisions Over Epstein, Decry Criticism of Dems
The liberal ladies of ABC News’s The View had a field day the week of July 14 as they tried to divide Republicans with the Jeffrey Epstein documents snafu. Smelling blood in the water, they kicked off nearly every episode that week talking about Epstein. Meanwhile, at the same time, they cut out a chunk of time to decry liberals who dared to criticize the Democratic Party’s messaging…

ABC News Says ‘We’re Already in The Tyranny’ of Trump’s ‘Dictatorship’
It was a normal day on ABC’s The View on Thursday morning. Meaning a full-blown, unhinged meltdown over President Donald Trump and an accidental live dramatization of what media spin looks like in its purest form. ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg even went on to claim that Americans were “already living in the tyranny” of Trump.
If you ever wondered what happens when a group of TV…

‘Starving Kids’: ABC News Accuses Trump of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’
President Trump should probably start considering another defamation suit against ABC News. During The View on Wednesday, ABC moderator Whoopi Goldberg and ABC co-host Sunny Hostin accused Trump and Elon Musk of “crimes against humanity” because of cuts to USAID and supposedly causing 1.5 million kids to starve. Goldberg also went so far as to call both men “bastards” for taking away…

Whoopi Angrily Defends Dems' Worn Out 'Trump Sucks' Campaign Message
As NewsBusters has documented, ABC News’s The View was mostly a vector to pump Democratic Party propaganda to the masses and they publicly embraced it multiple times.

The View Worships at the Altar of Gloria Steinem in Gooey Interview
If you ever needed a reminder that The View functions less like a news show and more like a liberal revival tent, look no further than their canonization of feminist icon Gloria Steinem on Wednesday’s broadcast. The View gave us a lovefest disguised as journalism, complete with misty-eyed reminiscing, revisionist history, and, of course, obligatory Trump-bashing.
