ABC’s ‘The View’ Reportedly Firing Show’s Lone Conservative Over ‘Extreme’, ‘Right-Wing’ Views
The Blaze ^ | 3/8/13 | Jason Howerton

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is being fired from ABC’s “The View” because market researchers found that her conservative views were out of touch with the show’s audience, according to a report in Us Weekly.

The magazine, citing unnamed sources, reported Friday that Hasselbeck will be leaving the show along with Joy Behar, an outspoken far-left liberal who quit the show by choice.

“The viewers they polled all said she was too extreme and right-wing,” a show insider whose name was not reported told UsMagazine.com about Hasselbeck Friday. “People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth. So they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed.”

TV Newser later reported similar developments. The site referenced two separate sources that confirmed the conservative co-host was leaving “The View.” A spokesman for the ABC show told TV Newser that Hasselbeck has a “long-term contract.”

“If Hasselbeck’s conservatism is a problem with audiences, it would appear to be a relatively new one; she has been on the show for nearly ten years with no apparent fuss,” the Huffington Post notes.

The only reason she lasted this long is because she always claimed that people should take “Pride in sodomy” especially little boys, like Jerry Brown is forcing into public schools in Kindergarten to erase Christian Ethics, so we adopt the worldview of pagan/occultists where the State can eliminate whomever. It is why that vile vice is promoted with “Just” laws in our military...../sarc.

She was no conservative. She was part of the Hegelian Dialectics to move us WAY over to the far left. She is a useful idiot.

I always felt like they paid her too much to go anywhere else. Otherwise, she should have left long ago.

Imagine that, liberals are more devisive and contentious now than 10 years ago, 6 under Bush. Brown shirts indeed.

They would much rather have her executed.

Commies have never been about debating with ideas.

She was the smartest one on that show, but that's not too impressive.

It's like being the tallest midget in the clown car.

I dont believe that BS because if that is true, how come Joy Behar is leaving, is she also too “Right wing?” Also, Elizabeth Hasslebeck isnt exactly a Conservative..she is a huge fan of Chris Christie and she has gushed over Obama when he appeared on their show numerous times

I read the 70 year old hag Joy Behar is quitting after 16 years. No big deal either way.

I would ONLY watch the show because of Hasselbek. Goldberg, Behar, and Walters were so extreme left-wing nutjobs that it was gagging-time.

how come Joy Behar is leaving,

According to news reports she is leaving voluntarily when her contract is up.
Supposedly she was offered a new contract but said she wants to do an "interview show" of her own.

It has also been reported that she and CNN have been negotiating for her to do a show there.

Please remember that Disney is the parent company. They own ABC. Micky Mouse, he’s a louse. I don’t want him in my house.

People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth.

I didn't watch the show because of everybody but Elisabeth. I can't stomach Bayhar (sp), even a clip of her. What a vile toad.

You’re probably correct. I’ve never been able to stomach more than a few minutes of it. Whoopi and Behar literally make nauseous.
