VIEW ASKEW: Goldberg and Co. are One of the Largest Sources of Misinformation on Television

36 legal notes in 2022 alone.

According to Kelly Jane Torrance over at The New York Post, daytime disaster The View is one of the biggest sources of misinformation on television —and more than 2.4 million people watch the show every day.

From The New York Post:

NewsBusters’ Nicholas Fondacaro crunched the numbers and found the show delivered 36 legal notes in 2022 alone. The list, which he provided exclusively to The Post, includes apologies and clarifications on everything from claiming Ivanka Trump was at the Capitol Jan. 6 (she wasn’t) to complaining Russian soprano Anna Netrebko hadn’t denounced the Ukraine war (she had) to insisting Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh were “credibly accused” of “sexual harassment and sexual assault.”

Notice a pattern there? There’s no “intelligent debate” on “The View,” as Walters intended — just reckless lies about people on the right.

Thomas’ wife Ginni was the most frequent target of misinformation, resulting in five legal notices alone. The hosts repeatedly said she led a mob to storm the Capitol — though she was never there. But the co-hosts couldn’t even resist undermining the corrections. Goldberg interjected during readings, “What else is she going to say?” and “Y’all know that’s not true!”

After Behar tied Rep. Elise Stefanik’s supposed “racist theories” to the Buffalo mass shooter, Hostin had to deliver a correction. (Hostin herself equated parents attending school-board meetings with the Buffalo killer.) “Oh, please!” Behar said as she read it. “It’s in writing!” Ana Navarro insisted — and the show still bills her as a “conservative,” though the CNN pundit voted against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and for President Joe Biden.
