ABC News made a big deal of their extensive, months-long search for someone to fill their “conservative” seat, so one would think presenting a diversity of opinion on The View would be a priority. But a new NewsBusters study showed that it’s more than just a name. “The View” also represented the fact that only one view, the liberal view was permitted; they were exposed by the fact that in the first three months of 2025, they had ZERO right-leaning guests on the program to talk politics.
Since coming back after their winter break on January 6, through April 4 (the Friday before the 6th), The View had 63 guests on to discuss politics and they all expressed left-leaning view points. During that same period, there were ZERO guests that expressed right-leaning politics.
Of those 63 left-leaning guests, 9 were Democratic politicians: Sen. Tammy Duckworth (IL), Sen. John Fetterman (PA), Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (MI), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (MA), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (MN), Gov. JB Pritzker (IL), Sen. Elissa Slotkin (MI), and Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY).
Four of them were former staffers of Democratic presidential administrations: the Obama-era hosts of Pod Save America (Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor), and Karine Jean-Pierre, President Biden’s press secretary.
The rest were a medley figures from Hollywood (e.g. John Leguizamo, Michelle Yeoh, and Ellen Pompeo), comedy (e.g. Roy Wood Jr., Chelsea Handler, and Bill Burr), tech (e.g. Bill Gates and Kara Swisher), T.V. (e.g. the cast of Queer Eye), and influencers (e.g. Elie Mystal, Dylan Mulvaney, and Stephen A. Smith).
