Overview

  • Rosie O’Donnell said ABC is reviewing The View’s liberal bias and warned the move could precede cancellation.
  • White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers labelled O’Donnell and co-host Joy Behar “irrelevant losers” and urged Behar to leave the country.
  • FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened regulatory and other consequences if the show does not curb its liberal commentary.
  • ABC has neither confirmed cancellation nor set a return date for Season 29, which is scheduled to launch in September following the summer hiatus.
  • Critics see the review as part of a wider effort to silence women-led media voices that challenge the administration.
