Elizabeth Hassleback Being Let Go For Being Conservative

[jackstar7]

They should replace her with a liberal. Political "discussions" on The View will work much better that way. /s

I have no idea why you quoted me...

Who cares? Coming soon to either Faux or Talk radio...the Elizabeth Hassleback show.

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

I would say that has nothing to do with her being conservative.

Agree. But isn't it odd that when they nonrenewed her contract a few days later they stated that it was on the basis of audience polling which indicated that said she was too conservative. I would say their credibility is a little lacking....how about you?

Walters' credibility, perhaps... but she's not who ultimately makes these decisions.

Walters and Bill Geddie are the executive producers of The View. They have a huge role in making these decisions!

ABC execs have a bigger role.

In any case, nothing points to her being non-renewed because management or Walters/Geddie decided on their own she was too conservative.

I suspect the real reason she was not renewed is neither her ideology nor anything else that's been said publicly. In Hollywood, the real reason things happen is usually far more fickle.

The real reason is that ratings are going south and they need to appeal to a younger audience. That's why Behar "retired" and Hasselbeck's contract isn't being renewed due to her being "too conservative". These guys are masters of spin...lying comes naturally for these scumbags.

Were you this upset when 'Sex and the City' ended?

... which still makes Incorruptible's OP and the connotation therein as ridiculous as I originally said.

"Too conservative" for a younger audience... seems to me the viewers' opinions are the ones who made this decision, not management's opinion.

Yeah...management had nothing to do with it.

They had nothing to do with initially saying "We have no plans for Elisabeth to leave this show" only to turn around a few days later and nonrenew her contract.

Management's complete lack of credibilty doesn't seem to phase you as you defend them.

Actually I don't give a damn. :biggrin:

The View is probably a better liberal show for it.

I didn't say they had nothing to do with it, I said they didn't themselves feel she was too conservative, but were reacting to the demands of the younger audience they apparently need. The lack of credibility you speak of couldn't have less to do with that.
