This is rich coming from The View. They think they know it all.
And a host of The View just went off on viewers of Fox News.
In the insulated world of daytime television, ABC’s The View continues to serve as a prime example of coastal condescension at its finest.
This week, the panel couldn’t resist turning a Democratic scandal into yet another opportunity to lecture conservatives and paint them as ignorant rubes.
Their target? Anyone who tunes into Fox News or talk radio instead of swallowing the corporate media’s approved narrative whole.
The conversation kicked off around leftist Graham Platner, who was forced out of the Maine Senate race amid serious accusations of r*pe.
Rather than grappling with the implications for their own party, the hosts quickly pivoted to familiar territory: blaming conservatives and downplaying accountability issues on the left.
The discussion then shifted to the awkward position Democrats find themselves in heading into elections.
Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out the challenge for her party: “There’s also this question of the moral high ground. I think Democrats really wanted to go into the midterms saying, ‘We are running on the moral high ground. We hold our own accountable.’ And it’s harder to argue that.”
Whoopi Goldberg jumped in with a telling remark: “You know who is still sitting there.” She followed up by saying, “This is where we have allowed ourself to get too.”
Joy Behar, never one to miss a chance to defend her side, chimed in: “I think Trump lowered the bar, come on.”
Goldberg responded: “But we have to take responsibility for this because we knew everything he was and they elected him anyway.”
Then came the real kicker from Behar, encapsulating the panel’s disdain for millions of ordinary citizens:
“They watch Fox, you know they watch these channels that they don’t know what’s going on really. Talk radio Fox News, they don’t get the same information you get on the other channels.”
This isn’t just garden-variety media snobbery. It’s a window into how the left views the American heartland.
For these hosts, information only counts if it comes from their preferred sources—networks that have spent years pushing narratives on everything from the economy to border security that often clash with the daily realities faced by working families.
