ABC Executives Ask 'The View' to Moderate Trump Criticism
Reportedly, ABC executives, including Disney CEO Bob Iger, have requested the hosts of The View to reduce their criticism of Donald Trump.
Sources indicate this request aims to broaden the show's appeal by incorporating lighter content alongside political discussions.
Hosts Resist Changes
ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic reportedly met with executive producer Brian Teta and hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, suggesting more celebrity guest features.
However, the hosts reportedly resisted, arguing their audience expects political commentary. Ana Navarro is reported to have directly confronted Bob Iger about the show's format.
Recent Criticism
In a recent episode, Whoopi Goldberg challenged Trump's promotion of the "white genocide" conspiracy theory and his acceptance of a luxury jet from Qatar.
The show's future direction remains contested between network executives and its co-hosts.
