It’s Official: ‘The View’ Adds Meghan McCain as 'Conservative' Co-Host 

Meghan McCain has officially signed onto “The View” as a regular co-host, Variety has learned exclusively.

McCain’s hire comes just days after she left Fox News, and shortly after the ABC daytime show parted ways with Jedidiah Bila.

McCain is expected to start in early October, joining the panel of Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Paula Faris, and Sunny Hostin.

ABC declined to comment on McCain.

Insiders say “The View” nabbed McCain because the show needs a stronger conservative voice, which it has been lacking since Elisabeth Hasselbeck left in 2013 when the series was buzzier, frequently making headlines for in-show sparring between the co-hosts with different political views.

McCain — the daughter of U.S. Senator and 2008 presidential nominee John McCain — has described herself as a Republican with liberal views on several social issues.

Since creator Barbara Walters retired in May 2014, “The View” has been playing a game of musical chairs, enduring numerous talent changes. Sherri Shepherd departed a few months later and then Rosie O’Donnell returned for one season, which was followed by a slew of brief stints by Nicolle Wallace, Rosie Perez, Raven Symone, Michelle Collins, Candace Cameron Bure, and most recently, Bila.

In recent months, ratings for the “The View” have started to climb with the Trump presidency, which has fueled the show’s Hot Topics debates. The show is seeing its best numbers in three years, averaging 2.8 million viewers a day under the watch of senior executive producer Hilary Estey McLoughlin and executive producers Candi Carter and Brian Teta.

At Fox News, McCain was a contributor and served as one of the co-hosts on the afternoon program “Outnumbered.” Prior, she hosted a series, “TakePart Live,” on the now-defunct Pivot network, and she was also a contributor to MSNBC and The Daily Beast. She first garnered media attention in 2007 for blogging about her experiences on the campaign trail when her father was running for president.

What's the difference between the NFL and BLM?

The spelling.

Trump said this isn't about race. To him, it's not. But to the players it is. It's about the Trayvon Martin's, the Michael Brown's, the Freddie Gray's and a host of others (martyrs/heroes) who once walked the Earth before they brought about their own demise. The only reason these worthless thugs are held in exalted admiration is that they were shot by someone different than the own race. Had they been laid waste on the killing fields of Chiraq there wouldn't have been so much as a whimper. And, of course, the MSM can be counted on to gin up more discord. 

Deliberately use a 7-year-old photo to inject bias into the story.

Reality

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

The NFL has sunk to a new and disturbing low. This once cherished American institution has decided to embrace the radical politics of the left and reject the traditional American values of their loyal fans.

In an obnoxious display this past weekend, professional football players protested the National Anthem at Sunday games across the country and were supported and encouraged by their teams and the NFL.

The NFL has decided, in effect, to endorse disrespect and dishonor towards the National Anthem, the American Flag, and all that they represent to the American people.

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell had this to say about the outrageous protests:

“Protesting the National Anthem not only distracts from the sport that pays these players millions but, more importantly, disrespects the men and women of the military who risk their lives to allow them that opportunity. This is a spectacle designed to score political points, and the public is sick and tired of it.

People tune in to football to enjoy themselves, not to have to subject themselves to attacks on our flag because spoiled players don't like the politics of our president. The public needs to have its voice heard.

This Sunday, October 1st, I ask football fans to support our flag and turn off the NFL. One week without football to support our flag. We should not continue to give attention to players who refuse to show respect for our great nation.”

In response to these offensive and unpatriotic displays, the MRC is encouraging all football fans to #TurnOffNFL this weekend. 

Please share this message with your family and friends, and urge them to turn off their televisions and send a message to the NFL!

Sincerely,

The MRC Action Team
