  1. *The View* slammed Trump over his meeting with South Africa’s president, during which he repeatedly claimed, using unverified videos, that a “genocide” of white farmers was taking place in the nation.

    The decision to devote the show’s first 10 minutes to politics comes a day after the Daily Beast reported that Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic have asked the hosts of the opinion show to tone down their political focus.

  3. Good! Keep pushing! Dictators aren’t toppled by silence!

  4. They should invite Neil Young, Taylor Swift & Bruce Springsteen and have a panel on free speech

  5. Never thought I would say this, but kudos to you, ladies from the view! Keep it up! Stay strong.

  6. Good for them.  It’s not like the president isn’t a convicted felon rapist, so they should put him on notice.

  7. Good! What’s Iger going to do, cancel one of their most popular shows? They have all the cards.

  8. Good. He’s a whiny, little bitch who’s more afraid of powerful women than anything else.

  10. Nice, played the Norm v OJ card after NBC told him to lay off.

  11. Exactly what every organization that does news should be doing.

    No more sane washing this administration.

  12. GOOD. I swear, instead of toning things down and being more moderate, these folks who have platforms and visibility please have the balls to fight and LEAN HARDER LEFT. Call out the crazy in real time, and don’t accept soft or bitch-out answers.

    We non-hateful, non-MAGA Americans are holding out for some heroes with some vigor!

  14. Rev it up ladies – help save the country. If you don’t speak out you are complicit.

  15. I can’t believe I lived to see the day the view would be spicey! Go on girls.

  16. If these bitches are our last bastions of free speech then we really are fucking cooked.

  17. Straight, white male. Not their target audience. If they keep this up I will find a way to tune. Maybe if they see ratings rise on a show telling the truth, the other chicken shits will get the message.

  18. The fact that this was a suggestions, not an order, suggests to me that Iger knew exactly what the response would be, and he decided to comply maliciously

  19. Not a fan of the view and I have no clue who is on the view currently, but this story makes me happy.

  20. Alternative Title: ‘The View’ Goes Howard Beale Lite®️

  22. There are truly some brilliant and intellectually gifted women in this world, sadly none of them are on the View.

  23. ABC is run be cowards. There only concern is $. Who cares about the truth anymore if you can make a profit.

  26. Oh, I so wish to have a recording of that conversation the higher-ups had with the ladies.

    It’s a sad sad time when entertainment shows are the spearhead of political resistance.

  27. Good! They want to turn the air waves into state-sanctioned news like Russia!

  28. Dear ABC Execs,

    This is the only time I’ve watched the View or given it any thought, because they have stood up to you. For what that’s worth.
