The pro-Democrat Party media is in just as much disarray as the party they support following Donald Trump’s landslide win.
No political program is descending into quackery quite like The View.
And Joy Behar made a fool out of herself on live TV with this insane defense of The View.
Traditional media deals with a loss of influence in the wake of the 2024 electionÂ
Donald Trump’s win proved that the emperor wasn’t wearing any clothes in terms of traditional media outlets.
Trump avoided Left-leaning news organizations to instead sit for interviews with influential podcasters like Joe Rogan.
The Trump campaign’s goal was to turnout irregular voters who don’t much care about politics and may only engage in the political process once every four years.
This strategy paid off as a Navigator Research study after the election found Trump won voters who didn’t cast ballots in 2020 by 12 points and voters who got their news from podcasters by 16 points.
Behar claimed viewers tuned in to their show because the information they received was vetted and accurate.
“I think that’s why people like our show, because they know that we are checked by ABC News –” Behar began.
“Yeah, and by everybody,” Whoopi Goldberg interjected.
Behar claimed the show would issue its vaunted “legal note” if it ever made an error.
“If we’re wrong, we have the legal note here,” Behar added.
Joy Behar was especially incensed, whining that Americans get their news from Joe Rogan, who Behar baselessly claimed “believes in dragons.”
“But we went from Walter Cronkite to this guy Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons. I checked it. He believes in dragons. He thinks dragons, like dinosaur-type animals, roamed the Earth when people did. This is the type of really bad information that’s going out,” Behar claimed.
Legal notes become a joke
These legal notes became a source of mockery after co-host Sunny Hostin had to issue two in a span of three days when she made false statements against Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth – Trump’s picks for Attorney General and Defense Department.
“Matt Gaetz said in a statement to ABC news that this false smear should be viewed with great skepticism. The DOJ investigation was closed with no charges being brought,” Hostin read into the camera on November 19.
Two days later Hostin issued a second legal note.
Dressed in an oversized sparkly silver suit, Sunny Hostin was forced to read ANOTHER legal note about the allegations against Matt Gaetz and a second legal note about Pete Hegseth.
“Just call the show ‘Legal Note’ from now on,” Joy Behar huffed. pic.twitter.com/GyP2QesXMw— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 21, 2024
Legal notes aren’t even corrections.
Producer Brian Teta admitted on a 2023 episode of the Behind the Table podcast that legal notes are just a cover your butt mechanism so ABC and Disney – ABC’s parent company – don’t get sued.
Teta explained that “a legal note is not a correction” but instead “is something that as a part of ABC News we are asked to do to make sure we’re presenting all statements and sides.”
“They want to limit the exposure of the company. They want to limit the legal exposure of our show. They want to limit the legal exposure of our hosts,” Teta added.
