The View’s latest episode proved once again that the daytime panel has fallen from the business of honest conversation into the business of relentless character assassination. Co-hosts spent their segment blasting President Trump for rhetoric at a recent rally where he compared immigrants from Norway and Sweden favorably to those from Afghanistan, Somalia and Haiti, framing his remarks as proof of racism instead of engaging with the policy questions he raised. The clip runs like a broken record: shock, outrage, and not a single effort to understand why millions of Americans support tougher immigration standards.
Sunny Hostin, Whoopi Goldberg and company used personal offense as a substitute for evidence, accusing Trump of xenophobia and even likening his language to fascist rhetoric in an attempt to permanently discredit him. They treated inflammatory soundbites as the totality of the story while ignoring context, policy details, and the very real concerns of working-class citizens who want secure borders and fair immigration. This performative moralizing is what passes for journalism on that stage, and it’s growing more dangerous as it shapes the narrative for millions of viewers.
This isn’t an isolated moment — conservative media watchdogs have long documented The View’s one-sided coverage of Trump, and independent analyses have shown patterns of near-total negativity in the program’s treatment of conservative leaders. When a so-called newsy talk show becomes a propaganda arm rather than a forum for debate, the American public is the loser. The persistent animus on display confirms what many of us already suspected: this program has little interest in fairness, only in scoring points for a partisan cause.
The panel’s tendency to traffic in falsehoods and half-truths is equally troubling. Outlandish claims about Melania Trump filing lawsuits and other sensational allegations have spread on air and online, only to be debunked by fact-checkers — yet the retractions and corrections never get the same attention as the original smear. That pattern — lob a bomb, watch it explode, and let the lie echo — is exactly how public opinion is manipulated. Americans deserve better than theatrical outrage built on shaky facts.
Recent criticisms from The View haven’t been limited to rhetoric; they’ve attacked policy moves like pardons, labeling them corrupt and transactional without engaging with the legal or human aspects behind those decisions. Host commentary often skips nuance in favor of headlines that stoke anger, which helps explain why normal, reasonable conversations about justice, mercy, and governance are being replaced by cable-ready outrage. The country needs sober debate, not a constant reality TV tribunal.
Hardworking Americans are fed up with elites who lecture while living in different worlds. It’s time to call out the hypocrisy: demand that so-called journalists stop weaponizing empathy, start addressing policy substance, and treat all public figures with consistent standards. If viewers want balance and truth, they must tune out the performative leftist echo chamber and support outlets that actually inform rather than inflame.
Patriots should remember that courage in media means holding everyone to account, including those who claim moral high ground while trading in distortion. The View can keep the drama and the denunciations; the rest of us will keep pushing for honest reporting, real debate, and the respect due to the millions who put country over celebrity.
