Shut up, whiny Republicans:Tara Palmeri / Politico:Sources: five months after Meghan McCain's departure, The View struggles to find a permanent Republican replacement who doesn't deny the 2020 election results — DRIVING THE DAY — Before taking off for the holidays, the four long-standing hosts of “The View” had a message …Brandon Gillespie / Fox News: ‘The View’ mocked over report show is struggling to find new Republican host: ‘Anti-conservative lunatics’Jackson Richman / Mediaite: The View Struggling to Find Meghan McCain's Successor: ReportRADAR: ‘The View’ In Turmoil: Talk Show In Dire Need Of Republican Co-Host, As No One Will Join Because Of ‘Bullies’ Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg & Sunny HostinDavid M. Perry / @lollardfish: It's gonna be Liz Cheney https://twitter.com/...William Vaillancourt / Rolling Stone: ‘The View’ Is Looking for a Republican ‘Unicorn’Karen Hunter / @karenhunter: The problem with modern “media” is that there are “sides.” Shows should be produced around smart, thinking people with vast LIVED experiences, committed to truth-telling and fact-finding. It should NEVER be about finding “opposing” views. Left v. Right, etc. https://twitter.com/...Beth Baumann / @eb454: So “The View” doesn't want a conservative voice. They want a Never Trumper RINO. https://twitter.com/...Carol Roth / @caroljsroth: The problem is that it is called “The View” not “The Views”. They don't seem to want to invite or accept different views and opinions, just have a token punching bag, and who wants to play that role? https://twitter.com/...@kagrox: The audience they're targeting for this selection is not watching this show. They're not watching this network. They're not even watching the device on which this network broadcasts. https://twitter.com/...Natalie Shure / @nataliesurely: Call me crazy but the fact that those two things appear to be incompatible might be revealing https://twitter.com/...Fusilli Spock / @awstar11: Who would want this abuse? https://twitter.com/...Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: Politico Playbook also reports that Fox News contributor Kat Timpf, a regular panelist on Gutfeld!, has already turned down The View's offer to become Meghan McCain's replacement because of the show's poor handling of conservatives and her Fox contract. https://www.politico.com/...Noam Blum / @neontaster: “Why can't we find a conservative who will never say anything to make us uncomfortable but also isn't a boring NeverTrumper who isn't actually really conservative anyway?” https://twitter.com/...Joshua Holland / @joshuahol: That person does not exist. You have to be a conspiratorial crank to have any credibility with Republicans. https://twitter.com/...Jamison Foser / @jamisonfoser: Just an idea but have they considered simply not having a host from the political movement that spawned Trump and a deadly insurrection? The conservative movement is rotten to the core. https://twitter.com/...Daniel Kibblesmith / @kibblesmith: Maybe that's a sign that if the Overton window has moved so far that the average Republican viewer is a fascist, there's no obligation to make sure those views continue to be broadcast to millions like we're all just friends who disagree with each other meeting in the middle https://twitter.com/...Jason Linkins / @dceiver: Can't have both https://twitter.com/...Liam Donovan / @lpdonovan: A bigger problem than parsing 1/6 or MAGA affinity is the fact that this theoretical person exists squarely in the center of a venn diagram that includes a Would Never Dream of Appearing on The View circle. https://twitter.com/...Justin Baragona / The Daily Beast: Fox News Star ‘Turned Down’ Offer to Replace Meghan McCain on ‘The View’: ReportKarol Markowicz / @karol: Oh, please. Just admit you want a show of liberals for liberals. It would be best for all of us if people could just be truthful. https://twitter.com/...Alexander McCoy / @alexandermccoy4: [whispers] “they also have zero progressives, even though that's about 40% of the Democratic Party...” https://twitter.com/...Will Stancil / @whstancil: Honestly, a perfect illustration of how US political commentary is reverse-engineered: media figures try to figure out the sweet spot on any given issue based on various social dynamics, and then beeline for that point, rather than actually following facts where they lead https://twitter.com/...Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: At the publications formerly known as newspapers, the opinion sections have a similar problem. But do click the link and read about The View's struggles “to find a conservative cast-member who checks all the right boxes.” https://twitter.com/...Dan Froomkin / @froomkin: ROTFL “They will not consider a Republican who is a denier of the 2020 election results, embraced the 1/6 riots, or is seen as flirting too heavily with fringe conspiracy theories or the MAGA wing...But at the same time, the host must have credibility with mainstream Republicans.” https://twitter.com/...Mark Hemingway / @heminator: Most conservatives believe 1/6 was bad and the election wasn't stolen. They also don't buy liberal orthodoxy that censoring Biden scandals didn't affect the election or that The View hosts' own excuses for political riots should be tolerated. That's the real issue. https://twitter.com/...
