‘The View’ Shows Rare Common Sense on Chick-Fil-A
July 26th, 2012 3:58 PM
Are public figures allowed to have an opinion anymore? Are private companies allowed to donate to the charitable causes of their own choosing, no matter how unfashionable they might be?
Shockingly, the ladies from “The View” say yes (with differing levels of enthusiasm) to both questions. On July 26, “The View” addressed the media-manufactured controversy arising from comments Chick-Fil-A…

Whenever Barack Obama has gone on ABC's The View, he's been gushed and fawned over like a rock star.
Despite this, Joy Behar Tuesday, while filling in for Eliot Spitzer on Al Gore's farce of a network Current TV, actually whined to her guests, "I haven't seen any indication that [Mitt Romney] is coming on The View" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

HuffPo, The View Blame Sexism, Politics for Vatican Denunciation of Nu
June 8th, 2012 2:26 PM
American liberals continue to be clueless (willfully or otherwise) as to the nature and purpose of the Catholic Church and its relationship to its members. The latest proof comes in the case of theVatican’s condemnation of left-wing nun Margaret Farley’s book, “Just Love, A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics,” which advocates gay sex and marriage, divorce, and female masturbation. These…

Barbara Walters Pushes Michelle Obama to Run for Office: 'You'd Be a V
May 29th, 2012 10:57 PM
Barbara Walters either deeply adores Michelle Obama or she was just acting like an extreme guest-coddler on The View Tuesday. She suggested that if President Obama lost the election – and she then lifted her hands to her mouth in horror – Mrs. Obama could have a career of her own since she would be “a very popular candidate.”
Walters began: “There have been rumors – if the president is not…

Kathy Griffin Aims Vulgar Name-Calling at ABC's Hasselbeck
May 18th, 2012 5:22 AM
On Thursday's Kathy show on Bravo!, host and left-wing comedienne Kathy Griffin called Elisabeth Hasselbeck by two vulgar words after playing a clip of the right-leaning co-host of ABC's The View in which Hasselbeck challenged President Obama to explain the distinction between his own view on how the federal government should treat same-sex marriage as opposed to GOP presidential candidate Mitt…

One Cheer for The View Hosts for Questioning Obama's Silly Racebaiting
May 16th, 2012 3:00 PM
As previously noted here at NewsBusters, while the predominantly liberal hosts of The View did generally coddle and flatter President Obama during his appearance on their show yesterday, they do deserve some credit for questioning at least one ridiculous thing he said when he claimed that he might lose the election due to his untraditional name.
In his appearance, Obama suggested that…

President Obama Gets the Royal Treatment on the View
May 15th, 2012 2:01 PM
On the May 15 The View, President Barack Obama visited the ladies of the ABC daytime talk show to chat about his support for gay marriage, Wall Street reform, the 2012 election, and pop culture.
