ABC News Needs to Apply the Terry Moran Standard to The View

ABC News did the right thing in firing long-time correspondent Terry Moran after it became painfully apparent to executives that he was far too comfortable with publicly flaunting his left-wing hate while enveloped in the protection of the network’s banner. This standard needs to be applied to the other festering problem for the ABC News brand: The View.

The legacy product of storied ABC reporter Barbara Walters, meant to feature smart discussion from accomplished women with different points of view, has become a laughing stock of uninformed political hot takes and a megaphone for some the worst of partisan venom coursing through America’s body politic.

Clips are passed around on social media as the hosts are called out and ridiculed for their sycophantic adherence to Democratic Party dogma and refusal to seriously consider opposing viewpoints; to the point that they have yet to have an actual conservative guest since August 2024.
