In an interview with Deadline published last week‚ Brian Teta [pictured right]‚ the executive producer of ABCs The View‚ admitted that they have stopped asking former President Trump to be on the show‚ and requests would resume on a case-by-case basis depending on who he picked as vice president. On the flipside‚ Teta expected President Biden to make an appearance to get a tongue bath from the co-hosts sometime before the election.Unironically‚ he claimed their main sticking point was disinformation and misinformation making its way onto the show.Deadline broached the subject by way of NBCs snafu with former RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. Would you have on as a guest a [Trump] true believer‚ maybe even McDaniel? Deadline wondered. You know‚ I have to look at it‚ Teta said. But we made the choice not to consider election deniers when we did our co-host search. The disinformation part of it is something to consider always. On whether or not they planned to have Trump on the ABC News program‚ Teta admitted that theyve stopped asking him to come on the show because he keeps declining‚ but also added that his misinformation played a key role in their decision too:DEADLINE: Given that were getting further and further into the election year‚ are you considering having Trump or any of his surrogates on the show?TETA: Again‚ its case by case. Well see who the VP is‚ when theyre announcing. Weve invited Trump to join us at the table for both 2016 and 2020 elections‚ and he declined‚ and at a certain point‚ we stopped asking. So I dont anticipate that changing. I think hes pretty familiar with how the co-hosts feels about him and doesnt see himself coming here.Theres no question we reach an important audience. This season we had Tim Scott on. Weve had prominent Republicans on often and will continue to. We had Ted Cruz on last year. Thats what the show is. Thats the genius of what Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie put together here‚ a show of different perspectives. And I think that its an important thing for us to do that. But at the same time‚ were not going to put people on there to [spread] misinformation.In another part of the interview‚ Teta claimed that The View was still held to ABCs news standards.Even though were an opinion show‚ were governed by news standards‚ so we would call out anything like that in real time [sic]‚ he defended the show.Apparently‚ the spreading of disinformation and misinformation on the show was something reserved for the co-hosts to do.In regards to Mondays solar eclipse and the previous weeks earthquake in New Jersey‚ staunchlyracistandanti-Semiticco-host‚ Sunny Hostin(thedescendant of slave owners)asserted‚ without evidence‚ that both were caused by climate change. She said the same thing about the coming cicada mating season despite them being on a known breeding schedule [video below].The shows other forays into disinformation and misinformation in recent weeks included claiming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was trying to buy the election‚ pushed the bloodbath hoax against Trump‚ claimed migrant women dont get raped in or near the U.S.‚ Hostin claimed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley didnt really miss her deployed husband‚ and Joy Behar claimed NATO was the military alliance that beat Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Just to name a few.Being on top of The Views lies and calling out their hypocrisy like this was important because‚ as the Deadline article noted: The show has been up 3% in total viewers season to date‚ and has continued to top daytime talk shows and news programs in viewership and households.
