Elisabeth Hasselbeck Not Leaving The View

Posted by Karl Erikson



Rumors have been flying fast and furious about Elisabeth Hasselbeck leaving "The View." Supposedly, she was eyeing a host position at Fox News, where she has appeared several times in the last year. The only strongly conservative part of "The View," I worried about Elisabeth leaving. I actually enjoy those first 20 minutes of the show...in fact, I think the Hot Topics on "The View" is some of the best television out there, but that's only if they keep a diverse panel.

Well, no worries. The rumors are false. Elisabeth's agent said, "While Elisabeth has a great relationship with Fox News, there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that she is leaving 'The View.' Elisabeth is passionate in her beliefs and enjoys being a part of this dynamic group of women and engaging in daily conversations."

The publicity director for "The View" said: "Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie, executive producers of 'The View,' consider Elisabeth to be vital to the program."

Sure, it gets heated when they talk politics on the show, but that's what I love about it. I'd really hate to see Elisabeth leave. Glad to hear it's not true.

I was hoping she was on her way out. I'd love a diverse, articulate, thoughtful panel but I guess it's not going to happen. I realize they'd have to completely clean house in order to make that happen, but a girl can dream, right?

I don't mind having a conservative voice on The View, but I would rather it have been someone more intelligent.  She's not dumb, but she digs herself into these places where some of us are just going, "Huh?"

Personally, the only thing she's got going for her is she's hot.

I totally agree, Karl.  My only complaint is that there's only one conservative on the entire panel.

I think personally fox would be a good place for her

she does not think with an open mind. she is one sided

in her thinking. You can see that Barbara Walters id

on her side at all times. My question is can the other

ladies of the view design and wear a t-shirt of their

choosing?  What is it that she can say and do as she

pleases and everyone has to go along with her like

poor shari.  Whoopi and Joy make the view and if shari

could share her views and be afraid of being dismissed.

things would be much better. It has gotten to the point

that elisabeth views are the only ones that matter. that

is not true and I hope others see this.  she seems to

be leaning toward being a kkk member when she said.

I WILL NOT MAKE A SHIRT FOR BARACK OBAMA. IS IT BECAUSE

HE IS BLACK AND SHE  ONLY WANTS ALL CONSERVATIVES AND

NOBODY TO HAVE A VIEW THAT IS NOT OF HER VIEW NOW IAM

WORRIED THAT ALL THE OTHERS MIGHT LEAVE BECAUSE BARBARA

BECAUSE, THE NETWORK CAN'T LET ELISABETH TONE DOWN AND

THE OTHERS HAVE TO K--- HER A-- IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR

POSITIONS AND EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS. IF ELISABETH CAN

WEAR T-SHIRTS THAT EXPRESS HER VIEWS AND SAY AND DO

AS SHE PLEASES, WHY CAN'T THE OTHER LADIES EXPRESS

THEIR VIEWS WITHOUT FEAR OF DISMISSAL? CAN SOMEONE

ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW

WHY IS IT NOT FAIR FOR ALL THE LADIES AND NOT JUST

THE ONE BARBARA WALTERS AND THE HEAVY SET MANS JOB

IS. NO DISRESPECT MEANT. JUST MY VIEW AND WHAT I'AM

HEARING FROM OTHERS. I'AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. CUTE AND

CAN BE FUN AS LONG AS THINGS ARE GOING HER WAY. GROW

UP AND LOOK PAST YOUR NOSE ELISABETH. TRY AND SEE

OTHERS VIEWS.

What show are you freaking watching? Elisabeth's views are the only ones that matter? Most days everyone else on the panel is totally dismissive toward her perspective. And there's tons of liberal bias on that panel, not much conservative. That's what makes the show, the arguments.

And everyone there is totally free to wear whatever they want. They've even said so. I don't know whether wearing a McCain shirt was a wise choice, but it's her prerogative.

If it was all liberals on the panel or all conservatives, the show would be unwatchable.
