Every morning, the hosts of The View act like self-appointed censors of the American soul, repeating tired talking points and flat-out misrepresenting President Trump’s remarks to fit their narrative. On the December 10 episode they erupted over his rally comments, condemning him with theatrical outrage while cherry-picking lines and assigning sinister motives that fit their worldview rather than the whole context. This is not debate — it’s performative virtue signaling aimed at an audience that already agrees.
This sustained campaign of selective outrage isn’t an accident; watchdogs have documented the show’s relentless negativity toward Trump, finding near-uniform hostile coverage in the wake of major events. When a flagship daytime program operates as a propaganda arm rather than a forum for honest discussion, it matters — because millions of Americans watch and form opinions based on what is pitched as news. Conservatives see the pattern: a media-industrial complex using entertainment slots to kneecap political opponents instead of informing viewers.
Hypocrisy is baked into the format. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin once pledged to wear a MAGA hat if Trump delivered on a major promise, yet the show hasn’t held her to it and the panel treats any deviation from their script as betrayal while excusing each other’s flip-flops. President Trump called the stunt out, and the exchange exposed how the show rewards partisan theatrics while pretending to be above politics. Ordinary Americans know the difference between honest disagreement and scripted outrage; The View prefers ratings over truth.
At the same time, the internet has been flooded with phony stories about The View — from bogus lawsuits to fabricated feuds — which fuels the drama but also creates cover for the show’s own misleading statements. Fact-checkers have had to step in and correct viral fabrications, proving that both sides of the culture war can be gamed by attention-seekers and bad actors. That doesn’t absolve The View’s hosts of their responsibility to stop spreading half-truths and outright smears in prime time.
For years conservatives have warned that left-leaning outlets would weaponize daytime television to influence elections and national sentiment, and the evidence keeps piling up. Even fact-checkers and debunkers have catalogued recurring falsehoods and viral hoaxes tied to the show’s coverage, showing that the line between reporting and raw activism has blurred dangerously. Americans who value honest debate should demand better from networks that claim to serve the public interest.
Patriots who love this country shouldn’t cower from media bias; we should expose it, call it out, and press for accountability. Turn off the scripted outrage and bring back real journalism that holds everyone to the same standard, not just the political enemies of the moment. Until then, viewers should watch The View the same way they watch late-night monologues — as entertainment, not as a substitute for truth.
