The View

As the two oldest cast members of The View, moderator Whoopi Goldberg (70) and fill-in moderator Joy Behar (83) hold a lot of sway and authority on the show and among their audience. And as such, ABC News had a special responsibility to ensure that their moderators were not hyperbolic or ridiculous. The guardrails came off in 2025. With the return of President Trump to the White House…

It’s that time of year again! With ABC’s The View on their winter hiatus (before picking back up again in early January), we at NewsBusters wanted to take a look back at some of the lowlights the show had to offer viewers in 2025. Today, we’ll be looking back at 12 times the liberal ladies used inciting rhetoric to foment hostility and hatred of their political opponents on the right…

Kathy Griffin has a bizarre idea of who is a "professional Nazi." Ditto for Robert De Niro.

Can you imagine anyone trying to argue the media weren't deficient on the issue of Biden's cognitive decline?

On Tuesday morning, David Bozell, President of the Media Research Center (MRC), joined WMAL’s Larry O’Connor on O’Connor & Company to discuss the latest evidence of media hostility toward President Donald Trump. Bozell revealed a staggering statistic from MRC’s latest study: late-night talk shows have aired over 7,000 jokes targeting Trump alone.

WORST OF 2025: The Trashing Trump Award 

December 19 was The View’s last new show of the year, so it was the perfect time to examine how the ABC News program (the number one rated day-time talk show) was presenting political discussions to their audience in 2025. Over the course of the year (the later half of Season 28 and the first half of Season 29), the predominantly Democratic / anti-Trump cast spoke politics with 128…

NewsBusters got under the skin of ABC’s The View when we did our first study counting their infamous “legal notes” (three dozen in one year), back in 2022. Over time, the study appeared to be so effective that the show had completely abandoned the practice. In 2025, The View had issued ZERO “legal notes.” But that doesn’t mean the notes weren’t sorely needed.

Media Research Center President David Bozell joined The Derek Hunter Show Wednesday night to break down the elitist media’s most outrageous quotes of the year as part of the MRC’s annual Worst Quote of the Year award, which spotlights the most egregious or biased statements in the media.

The View’s anti-military bent from most of the year came to ahead on Thursday’s show as ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg asserted, without evidence, that President Trump’s announced “warrior dividends” (a $1,776 pay bonus) where about bribing service members to follow illegal orders. Additionally, co-host Joy Behar was outraged that Trump had the nerve to call President Obama a “…

It was a challenging task, but an esteemed panel led by MRC President David Bozell and MRC’s Vice President for Research and Publications Brent Baker boiled down all the biased outbursts from lefty hack hosts, anchors, reporters and pundits in 2025 and declared a winner. This year the winner is Matthew Dowd! 

POLL RESULTS: Worst Media Take of the Week Winner

Despite ABC hiring them all teams of makeup artists and stylists, the liberal ladies of The View didn’t have a mirror for their much needed, much ignored self-reflection. Their hypocrisy was on full display during Monday’s show as they chose to bash President Trump during a segment about mourning all the tragedies around the world over the weekend. While wondering where all the hate…

The ladies hosting The View are fans of the Paramount+ series Landman. In November of 2024, they were gushing over the star Billy Bob Thornton. So they might be shocked to hear a brutal critique of their show and them coming out of the mouth of his character Tommy Norris.
