Disney CEO, ABC Boss Ask 'The View' Hosts to Tone Down the Politics: Report

  • In January 2025, the leadership at Disney and ABC News asked the hosts of The View to limit their political discussions prior to President Trump’s inauguration.
  • Karamehmedovic held discussions with the show's hosts and executive producer Brian Teta about diversifying the program's content to include topics beyond Trump-related politics.
  • The View hosts, including Joy Behar and Ana Navarro, rejected the suggestion, deciding to maintain their political discussions because their audience expects such commentary.
  • Navarro said, "This is what our audience wants," highlighting that past episodes with less politics also drew strong ratings, but political discourse remains central to the show.
  • The ongoing focus on politics reflects tensions between executives' calls for balance and the hosts' commitment to audience preferences amid a politically charged media environment.
