ABC’s ‘The View’ Doesn’t Actually Want A Conservative Co-Host; CNN's Zucker needs to go?

 Goldberg now might be regretting her routine admonishment of McCain on air for the crime of bringing her views shared by millions of conservative women underrepresented in corporate media to the legacy program.

ABC's 'The View' Doesn't Actually Want A Conservative Co-Host (thefederalist.com)  "Meghan McCain will likely be the last woman with truly conservative positions to fill a permanent seat on ABC’s “The View.” Six months after her departure from the show for which she served four seasons, the program is facing a reckoning over its hostile work environment, toxic culture, and intellectual bankruptcy.

"On Saturday, The New York Post cited a former network executive reporting the show’s absence of a non-leftist panelist was “driving Whoopi crazy.' ”. . .

"Goldberg now might be regretting her routine admonishment of McCain on air for the crime of bringing her views shared by millions of conservative women underrepresented in corporate media to the legacy program." . . .

“Being a conservative woman in mainstream media is deeply threatening. Being a woman who can hold her own on a show like that proved to be ultimately threatening, so it became more and more personal,” McCain told Fox News in October. “The more successful I was on ‘The View,’ and the more moments I helped get them and the more I pressed liberal candidates and liberal guests on the show, the worse it got for me backstage and then ultimately it started spilling out on air.”

Ever notice the raucous applause at each opinion expressed by the liberal View ladies? Does some machine or a director give applause commands for that?

Another column made the case for cancelling The View; it was dated 2017. How'd that work out?

DEEP IMPACT: CNN Ratings Crater Nearly 90%, Jeff Zucker Needs to Go – PJ Media

. . ."Jeff Zucker has headed up CNN for almost ten years now. The network enjoyed success running his Four Years Hate message against then-President Donald Trump, but over the last year, something has become clear to me.

Zucker isn’t a news guy; he’s an entertainment guy who came up the ranks of NBC (later NBC Universal) serving up “news lite” at the Today Show and then as chief of NBC’s entertainment division.

"Why the network chose the executive who presided over NBC as its once-proud stable of primetime shows went stale and then floundered might never be known.

"However, with a TV-friendly nemesis like Trump in office, Zucker knew exactly what to do, and judging by those CNN ratings from 2017-2020, Zucker executed his nasty business rather well.

"But losing Trump was as if George Lucas had killed off Darth Vader at the end of Star Wars — how would he have gotten a satisfying sequel without the Big Bad?"

. . . Zucker thought that entertainment-oriented News Lite puff-balls like Cuomo, Don Lemon, and (dough-ball in this case) Brian Stelter could serve up hard news.

But they turned out to be a useless bunch of non-news ninnies.

Zucker thought he could tell audiences scary stories about Orange Man Bad long after Orange Man Bad was gone.

Zucker forgot that the first N in CNN is supposed to stand for “News” and not “Ninnies.”
