Study: 'The View' is aptly named

While it's no surprise that the ABC talk show has had more liberal than conservative guests, the author of a recent study says the guest list is a reflection of how the cast is taking Trump's second term.

On most days, "The View" will invite guests to discuss current issues, usually politics. But the Media Research Center's (MRC) Nicholas Fondacaro says anyone who has been waiting for their favorite conservative pundit to debate with Whoopi, Joy, and the rest has been sorely disappointed.

"In the first three months of the year, they've had 63 guests come on to discuss politics in some way, shape, or form," he relays from his study. "Zero conservatives."

The fact that ABC News refuses to allow more than half the country to be represented, he says, is scandalous.

"'The View' … does seem to … only allow one view," Fondacaro observes. "The name is a directive."

He remembers that President Trump was often a welcomed guest before he ran for president. Now, however, the Trump Derangement Syndrome runs deep.

"Ana Navarro said just the other day that she would prefer Biden in a coma over Trump," he notes.

Considering that is what the nation endured for the last four years, Fondacaro says, "It really comes down to the politics of it."

The last time "The View" spoke with a Republican politician who did not hate President Trump was former Gov. Chris Sununu (NH) on August 1, 2024. Before that, it was Rep. Nancy Mace on October 2, 2023. Both of those were in the show's 27th season.

"The View" is now in the second half of its 28th season.
