My latest at The Week: “The View is apparently struggling to replace panelist Meghan McCain. ‘Sources close to the show said that the search has stalled as executives struggle to find a conservative cast member who checks all the right boxes,’ Politico reported Thursday. What are those boxes? Among them, ‘They will not consider a Republican who is a denier of the 2020 election results … or is seen as flirting too heavily with fringe conspiracy theories.’

“The View” doesn’t want to hire a right-wing conspiracy theorist. But maybe they should be more worried about left-wing conspiracy theorists instead, argues @jackhunter74. https://t.co/sfBKjzir1s

But the producers of The View don’t seem to have the same level of concern when it comes to the equally troubling left-wing conspiracies pushed on the show.

As recently as Tuesday, rotating guest co-host and Never-Trump Republican Ana Navarro said during a discussion on the upcoming anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, ‘Look, I felt that Donald Trump had not been legitimately elected. I thought he’d gotten help from the Russians.’ Apparently it is okay to deny presidential election results on ABC’s popular talk show — so long as the year under discussion is 2016. “

Fox News reports, “Guest co-host on ‘The View’ Morgan Ortagus confronted Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Tuesday over his role in promoting the discredited anti-Trump Steele dossier.

During a segment in which Schiff was invited on the show to promote a new book, Ortagus accused him of potentially helping to spread Russian disinformation through his promotion of the dossier and suggested his credibility had been diminished because of his actions.

‘You defended, promoted and even read into the congressional record the Steele dossier. We know last week the main source of the dossier was indicted by the FBI for lying about most of the key claims in that dossier. Do you have any reflections on your role in promoting this to the American people?’ Ortagus asked Schiff.”
