The Media Research Center loves to attack “The View” in general, but it particularly goes after conservative-leaning co-hosts Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro for not being far-right enough. We’ve already documented the MRC’s Heathering of Farah Griffin, and the attack continued in Tim Graham’s Dec. 22 podcast, under the headline “Ana and Alyssa Don’t Bring Their ‘A Game’ to ‘The View'”:
As 2023 winds down, it’s time to review the best (or the worst) of “The View.” NB Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro discusses how Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin are alleged to represent a Republican viewpoint, but most of the time, they are just as liberal as the others, and demand the Republicans surrender on social issues like abortion.
These women are nothing like Meghan McCain, who seemed like she would be a liberal Republican when she began. But she strongly dissented from the others on many issues (despite her disdain for Donald Trump), and liberal guests had to be wary of what questions she might bring. On a recent show, Navarro compared her to Hunter Biden in making money off her family name…as if there are no differences?
In the podcast, Fondacaro — whom the MRC pays to hate-watch “The View” — bragged that he wrote more than 260 blog posts about the show last year (we’re not sure that’s something to brag about). In the podcast, Fondacaro — whom the MRC pays to hate-watch “The View” — bragged that he wrote more than 260 blog posts about the show last year (we’re not sure he should be bragging about that). He whined that Navarro is combative but Farah Griffin “is a squish in that she just generally avoids conflict for the most part.”
This was followed by a Dec. 25 year-end piece by Fondacaro further attacking Farah Griffin and Navarro for not mindlessly spouting right-wing talking points like he does:
2023 was the first full year since ABC expanded the cast of The View to six co-hosts by cramming both former Trump White House staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin and former Republican strategist/lobbyist Ana Navarro into the “conservative” seat at the table. But despite doubling the number of supposedly right-leaning voices in their discussions, the two ladies have proven to be everything but strong conservative counterpoints to the other liberal ladies.
Whether it’s Navarro’s rabid anti-Republican bent and refusal to defend longtime conservative policy proposals or Farah Griffin’s spineless capitulation to the likes of staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin, both have proven themselves to be faux-conservatives.
Fondacaro’s complaints center around Farah Griffin and Navarro rejecting anti-abortion extremism and pro-gun absolutism and actually wanting to see the evidence before trying to impeach President Biden.
Along with the five others he wrote, this makes a whopping six year-end attacks Fondacaro wrote about “The View” — that’s how much he viciously hates these women. And as we’ve documented, Fondacaro’s alleged evidence that Hostin is “staunchly racist and anti-Semitic” is highly overstated and ridiculous to the point that Hostin has a good case for a defamation suit against him.
