Just in the past week, Whoopi Goldberg has promised to never utter the president’s name again; Sunny Hostin has blamed “racist” Black and Hispanic voters for supporting him; and Joy Behar encouraged censorship of news outlets like Fox to “teach children tolerance.” After those approaches got the show nowhere, things need to change, executives told senior producers in recent meetings.
The first agenda item, one person said, will be to inject a pro-Trump persona into “The View”‘s stable where Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, and Ana Navarro run the show while former spokeswoman turned anti-Trump voice Alyssa Farah Griffin offers meek, contrarian points of view.
“The View is an opinion-based show featuring a diverse panel of women with different points of view – the current panel is clearly resonating with audiences given that the series just had its highest rated episode in more than a decade and hit a 4-year high in total viewers,” an ABC spokesperson told The Post in a statement.
The ratings for liberal shows and networks are in complete free fall as downtrodden viewers turn off their tubes and go outside to touch some grass, leading ABC executives of “The View” scrambling to hire more pro-Trump voices to build back its audience.
The New York Post reported that the top brass at ABC have grown tired of one-sided squawking by the five daytime co-hosts as they tiresomely go through the motions of responding to every single statement or bit of news made by President-elect Donald Trump.
ABC News Group President Debra OConnell has elevated Almin Karamehmedovic, who heads ABC News, to reorient executive producers and other show editors toward a new, bipartisan mission.
