It has been reported that Elizabeth Hassleback a host on The View and a Conservative will not have her contract renewed because they dont like her Conservative views. Her contact will be up in August and they might not renew the contract.

This isn't right since Elizabeth Hassleback helps to balance out The View and her Conservative views are badly needed in the biased media. If they get rid of her it will just once again show how biased the media is. The media is against Conservatives and Libertarians and tries to silence them. I wont be surprised at all if they do let her go based on how they are but it would be a good thing to keep her.

Do you think Elizabeth Hassleback will be let go from the View? Should they keep her on or let her go?

The only reason incorrigible isn't on my ignore list is the same reason spidey isn't, they are just too entertaining. Very few on both sides can take them seriously.

My ideas are based on the Constitution so how are they not serious?

The entire reason for her existence on The View is so all the others on the show have someone to argue and win against. It's the same reason Fox keep a few token Libs around. Someone has to be the bad guy for the Good Guys to defeat.

If everyone on the show shared similar viewpoints the show would be even more boring and asinine than it already is. Seriously! Therefore if/when they get rid of Ms Hasselback, they'll just have to go out and find another "Conservative".

That was when she was in Survivor. She was fit and trim back then. Maybe a little too trim. You can see her four pack.

She has a really pretty face but in that picture she is way to thin for my tastes. I like em with a little more meat on their bones. I like her better with more boobs. lol

Good point. This shows the stupidity of the liberals/progressives who are nothing but cowards. I wont be surprised if they replace with a leftist and then the ratings drop.

Even working within the ridiculous premise posited by the OP, there is precisely zero proof that she was fired because she's "conservative".

Incorruptible fails again.

Technically she wasn't "fired". Her contract wasn't renewed because she was too conservative.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/10/elisabeth-hasselbeck-view-firing-co-host-being-too/
Mrs. Hasselbeck, who continually battles the four other left-leaning women on the show, reportedly is too “right-wing” for the audience.

“The viewers they polled all said she was too extreme and right-wing,” a show insider told UsMagazine.com Friday. “People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth. So they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed.”

He proved my point. The libs want someone easy to fight against so they can "win" they wont go up against one the top dogs.

Why dont they debate Ron Paul, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams or Judge Napolitano? They only want someone who is easy.

So her contract wasn't renewed because the show's viewers didn't watch her. Management was responding to viewer demands/concerns, not deciding on their own, independently, that she was too conservative.
Yes. They decided not to renew her contract as she was perceived to be too conservative.

So, as I said, management fired/didn't renew her because of viewer concerns.. not because they determined, independently, that she was too conservative.... which is neither the claim nor connotation of the OP.

If management made the decision, independently, to fire/not renew her because they themselves.. without any input from viewers.. thought she was too conservative, the OP would make sense. Since it is the viewers who said she's too conservative the OP is, as I maintained, ridiculous.

All I know is that we've heard management's side of the story and that appears to satisfy you. I personally would like to hear Hassleback's "view"...but I fully understand why liberals don't.

What happened to loving capitalism and the free market? The company didn't think she helped their business, so they didn't renew her contract.

Funny, because I always hear conservatives say that liberals are whiners.

I'd like to hear her side of the story, but until or unless she makes it known we're left with what we have.

What would you conclude if her side is nothing but sour grapes?

And what would you conclude if Walters bold-faced lied by saying the following just prior to announcing nonrenewal of Hasselbeck's contract?

"We have no plans for Elisabeth to leave this show," but added "when one of you makes the choice to leave, that is your choice, and we will support your decision."

"ABC is desperate to freshen the show," a source tells the paper, citing flagging ratings. Hasselbeck's contract is up in 2014, but the source tells the paper that her exit "could be earlier . . . They easily could coax her to go early."


Indeed, insiders initially told Us that Walters was attempting to "save face" with her denial, and that producers are "just leaving the door open for Elisabeth to announce she is leaving on her own when she is ready . . .They don't want to make her look bad and don't want to make the show look bad for canning her...They just want to make it seem like Elisabeth decided to leave on her own when the announcement comes."

That's standard in the business world. They always deny things like that until they are announced.

As for the reasons for leaving, do you REALLY think all those CEOs and other executives "retire to spend more time with their families"? It's done to save face, and that appears to be the case here as well. It's done as a courtesy to the one being let go.

This is all quite routine, and you guys are whining like little children.

Thats not the point I am arguing though. I absolutely agree that they have the right to fire her since its a private business.

What I am arguing is its only because she is Conservative. The same thing happens in Hollywood where many Conservatives are actually denied jobs and attacked. Just look at what happened to Ben Shapiro.
