ABC set to 'cancel' another US chat show to appease Trump, former host claims

The View's Rosie O'Donnell feels the US chat show will be given a similar sentence to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which has been cancelled. O'Donnell fears for the show, created by legendary broadcaster Barbara Walters, in a post called Silencing The View. She shared on TikTok: "You know what I just read today? ABC is 'reviewing the liberal bias' on The View. The VIEW. The show with five women speaking their own opinions - That's the threat now.

"They say they're not cancelling it- they're just 'reviewing the bias.' Which is code for - we're gonna cancel it, we're just trying to soften you up first. She continued: "Because it's not enough to run the country into the ground, you have to control what people SEE, what they HEAR, what they think. And The View? Well, that's a little too much woman - a little too much truth - a little too much Joy Behar saying 'I don't think the insurrection was a tourist visit, Karen.' Apparently, the truth is dangerous now."

O'Donnell referred to the nation as a "dictatorship with good lighting" under Trump and added: "And I've done THE VIEW - twice. I know how hard it is to get four women to agree on lunch - let alone politics. So don't tell me The View is some radical leftist threat.

"This isn't about bias - This is about obedience. This is about removing any program that doesn't align with Trumpism - soft fascism in full lashes with commercial breaks."

Last month on The View, Joy Behar addressed Trump's allegation that Barack Obama was "guilty of treason".

A spokesperson for the former US President branded the claims "bizarre" and a "weak attempt at a distraction."

Behar said of Trump: "He is so jealous of Obama, because Obama is everything that he is not. Trim. Smart. Handsome. Happily married."

In response, the White House said: "Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's no surprise that The View's ratings hit an all-time low last year.

"She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off air."
