It appears there is only one view an ABC talk show wants to air — and that is the liberal view.
According to the Media Research Center (MRC), “The View” hosted 102 liberal guests and zero conservatives in the first seven months of 2025, per Fox News.
The center’s NewsBusters looked at every episode of “The View” from Jan. 6, through July 25.
In that time, no right-leaning guest was booked.
In April alone, there were 63 liberals on the show and no conservatives.
“’The View’ is not shy about the fact that what they say and do is all meant to push the agenda of the Democratic Party, whether it’s smearing Trump and his allies or specifically elevating Democratic politicians. It’s why they’ve only spoken to liberals about politics on the show so far this year,” NewsBusters associate editor Nicholas Fondacaro said.
“ABC needs to examine the show and plot a better course for their next season,” Fondacaro continued. “’The View’ was started by Barbara Walters to be a place where women came together to express their views. Now, the title is more than a name. It’s how the show functions: only one view.”
Former President Joe Biden, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) were among those on the show. There were 19 Democratic politicians on the show in 2025.
“There’s a reason Biden chose them to be the venue for his failed attempt to push back on the allegations of his mental decline. His handlers knew they would coddle him, and they did,” Fondacaro said.
The former president was on the show with former first lady Jill Biden in May.
Left-leaning politicians were not the only guests on the show as liberal journalists and other outspoken celebrities were guests such as Eva Longoria, Mark Hamill, Julieanne Moore, Gloria Steinem and Mario Cantone.
“The closest they came was former California Governor and Harris 2024 voter Arnold Schwarzenegger on June 17’s show, who advocated for liberal ‘immigration reform,’” Fondacaro said.
In order for a guest to be included in this count is for politics to be part of the interview.
“For example, actor Robert De Niro had a history of speaking out against President Trump, but was not included in the liberal count because politics did not come up,” the Media Research Center explained.
The last time “The View” had a guest who defended Trump was when then-Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire was on August 2024, per Fondacaro.
An ABC News insider defended the show.
“This study seems to ascribe political leanings to guests even when politics were not discussed. Celebrity guests are not booked because of their political leanings, they are booked on the show to promote their projects,” the insider said in April.
There are also fewer on-air legal disclaimers, Fondacaro noticed.
“The View has undergone some major changes since last year, which proves it has gotten more extreme. Prior to their winter break, the cast would defend and praise their reliance on legal notes, only to abandon the practice altogether in the latter half of the season,” Fondacaro said.
