„Die Aussicht“, die er berichtete, Trump Bashing durch ABC News -Chef abzureißen

Media, once again, bending out of pure spinelessness. Fuck The View and ABC.

So facts don’t matter. Got it.

The German SA had this in the 1930’s. Not an original thought in MAGA’s brain.

FFS, all these cowards dragging America closer and closer to becoming an authoritarian state, and for what … fear of being targeted by a tyrant … the shame is, that cowardice is fuel to a wannabe dictator.

Fuck you for bending the knee, ABC. Pathetic.

What about free speech, motherfuckers? Pretend it’s FOX, those assholes get away with lying, defamation, and more lying.

Disney and ABC News have asked the hosts of The View to tone down their political rhetoric, multiple sources told the Daily Beast.

Since Donald Trump’s election in 2024, The View‘s panel of co-hosts—Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin—have consistently criticized Trump administration officials and policies.

But its constant focus on Trump and politics seems to have roiled the network’s top bosses, including Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic.

Ultimately, the women found the requests “silly” and that “they were just going to keep doing their thing.”

Someone is going to tell Joy Behar what to say? Her mantra is “so what, who cares?” She’s going to do what she wants and I love that for her.

Also, I read “The Ladies Who Punch.” When the show turned down the politics, the ratings took a huge dive. This was after they cleaned house and brought in Jenny McCarthy. The show was nearly canceled. They came crawling back to Joy. The viewers want politics. They certainly aren’t looking for more “view your deal” BS segments. The celebrity stuff is typically the least interesting part of the show.

I posted this elsewhere, but I’m not joking when I say **the freedom of our press is under attack.**

Here’s my copypasta:

[John Oliver’s piece Sunday](https://youtu.be/07JQr5W3970) was about Trump and the press. I finally understood why the whole 60 Minutes thing was such a big deal.

Basically, media companies are taking the proverbial knee so their local stations’ licenses don’t get revoked/canceled. Trump’s FCC guy – Brendan Carr – is basically doing whatever Trump wants him to do instead of being in charge of an independent agency.

The 60 Minutes hoopla? Trump saw an edited bit of Harris’ interview from October 2024, but when the show aired, Harris’ answer was different. Trump said the program engaged in “news distortion” (pot meet kettle?). But what happened is Harris’ answer was both clips – the lead-in was the first part of her answer, and the aired answer was the second part of her answer. Ultimately, both clips together were her full response.

While Trump sued 60 Minutes for **$20 BILLION**, FCC Chairman Carr started giving interviews stating that the FCC will investigate if these broadcast companies to ensure there’s no “news distortion”, which is following Trump’s lead. While networks aren’t tied to FCC licenses, their local stations are.

(An aside: all FCC complaints against the major networks from pro-Trump groups were thrown out in January by the previous FCC chairwoman. When she resigned and Carr was placed, he reinstated all of the complaints – except for the one against Fox News – within 2 days of Trump being sworn in.)

Back to CBS. CBS’ parent company, Paramount, is currently working through a merger with Skydance Media. Since Trump wants the FCC to put a boot to the throat to CBS, Paramount is “playing nice” to ensure their merger goes through. Paramount’s board is telling CBS to toe the line. CBS in turn requested Bill Owens (former editor of 60 Minutes) to submit any Trump pieces for the rest of the year (murky on the timeframe here). Because of this, Owens resigned in April.

I’ve seen a few articles floating around the last couple of days on whether settling Trump’s lawsuit could be seen as a bribe. We’ll see how that plays out.

This comment is hella long, and I truly apologize. But if our local stations start having their licenses revoked and their parent networks don’t fight for them, we are in a world of shit.

**We are literally fighting for freedom of the press to continue to be a constitutional right.**

I’m so sick of this shit these motherfucking news outlets will lie to their viewers and american public just to appease this piece of shit. Shame on ABC

One of the key roles of the media is to disclose information to the public, serving as a check on the government—not to serve as a mouthpiece flattering politicians.

Make the abc head honcho put on his fascism hat and come down and fire these wildly popular hosts. Weasley POS.

The real deep state is the one you’re not allowed to criticize…

The View panelist should force the networks hand. Force them to cancel the show.
