The View Replaces Elisabeth Hasselbeck with…Two Other Blonde Republicans

Sorted under media on August 21, 2009

Meghan McCain, E.D. Hill Elisabeth Hasselback, the notorious right-winger and frequent argument-starter from The View will be out on maternity leave from the beginning of September until mid-October. In her absence, The View will be replacing her with Meghan McCain and former FOX News anchor E.D. Hill. Both McCain and Hill have joined The View panel before; in April McCain responded to Laura Ingraham criticizing her weight, mocking her as being a plus-size model who couldn’t get on the MTV show The Real World, by saying “kiss my fat ass!” Hill had appeared on the panel last October again, to replace Hasselbeck while she was out.

While having Meghan McCain as an anchor really doesn’t surprise me, since Elisabeth Hasselbeck had campaigned for John McCain during the 2008 election, what does surprise me is their choice of E.D. Hill. E.D. Hill has a failed career as a right-wing extremist anchor who was fired by FOX News. FOX News–that same “news” network that continues to let Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck spout out their lies, deceit, and utter hatred for any person, organization, and so on that disagrees with them about anything. That same “news” network that didn’t sack Glenn Beck for claiming that President Obama hates white people and “white culture” (I’m still trying to figure out what, exactly, “white culture” is…) That same “news” network that works more like a circus of idiocy rather than an actual and reputable news source cancelled Hill’s show, America’s Pulse and then, shortly thereafter chose not to renew her contract. There should be a new rule put in place–when a right-wing extremist gets fired from FOX News, their career is officially over.

However, by choosing a right-wing anchor to replace another right-wing anchor who not even FOX News will associate with, it shows the true intentions of The View. Because Elisabeth Hasselbeck can’t be on the show to make a fool of herself (as she does most of the time which you can easily see just by searching on YouTube for ‘Elisabeth Hasselbeck The View’–warning, you may get stuck on there for a while watching and re-watching segments that may contain your brain to explode) they need to dig up people who possess the same jaded view of the world to do it for her and E.D. Hill is just the person to add more close-minded sentiments to the show; although I wonder if she will, like Hasselbeck, try to cover up her sometimes delusional and close-minded comments by saying “other people will be asking that/thinking that…”

Something else that popped out at me immediately is the fact that both anchors to replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck… look like Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I am fairly positive that there are indeed other right-wing extremist anchors who could fit the bill for The View that aren’t blonde.

Meghan McCain will be on the panel starting on September 9th for three episodes, E.D. Hill will come on after McCain’s run.

    As a moderate, it confounds me that liberals can see the problems with Fox, but not with the other news stations. Just about the only impartial news source left is NPR, and even their programs sometimes show their liberal views coming through. At least Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly admit they are pundits. They are not wolves in sheep's clothing like most mainstream "reporters." I like watching Bill O'Reilly because he is a good counterpart to John Stewart. Their shows are basically identical, but one is left and one is right. Both are funny. Both expose our government's flaws.
  • I never said that I didn't have a problem with other news stations. For instance, I watch Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow but I know that they are liberal news sources and I do not take everything that they say completely seriously and as the absolute truth. In fact, most of my political news comes from C-SPAN, who cannot show bias when it comes to hosting a talk when people call in with opinions or through interviews and the rest of the time, they show merely what is going on at the Capitol with no documentary whatsoever.

    What you are completely wrong about, however, is the fact that Bill O'Reilly is just a right-leaning John Stewart. The Daily Show is on Comedy Central and is in essence a comedy show. Bill O'Reilly thinks he is an actual news source.
  • Obviously, they hired Republicans to replace one for the ratings. You have to admit that all the political bickering happening on The View is rating gold, still. That, despite the fact that Hasselback sometimes makes a fool out of herself.
  • Good post!!

  • That is so funny that that both anchors to replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck… look like Elisabeth Hasselbeck!!!
