Great point. The only discipline she ever seems to get is a day off now and then after saying something especially offensive. I wish one of the other ladies (or guests, for that matter) would simply say, "you are NOT the only conservative woman on TV. You are NOT special." Again, it should be interesting once they finally are all back together in the studio. I have a feeling that the other ladies aren't going to put up with all this nonsense anymore. 8 Link to comment

The View is under ABC news, why do they consistently let Meghan say she’s the only conservative in mainstream media? Could she really mean - only unqualified conservative in MSM? That's what I thought, too: Nearly everything Sunny was saying about Tucker Carlson and FOX News was true about McCain and ABC. So, really, they don't even have room to talk. 2 10 Link to comment

leftlane April 28, 2021 Share April 28, 2021 The ladies have really found their stride lately with the current format. Megun not speaking out of turn and going over her time plus less topics and guests makes a huge difference. Whoopi still is a terrible moderator. Joy is so much better as a moderator.

Badbea99 April 28, 2021 Share April 28, 2021 I think MeAgain confuses mainstream with network. Perhaps she is referring to ABC, NBC and CBS -I don't have a clue but once again she is spewing incorrect information. It annoys me to no end that she is never held accountable or has to correct a prior statement or offer an apology. She gets away with things that anyone who wasn't the daughter of Her Father would ever get away with. It wouldn't be tolerated. I keep waiting and I know all about the ratings and her supposed draw but I can't help but think the PTB don't get pissed off at some of her comments particularly about their show. I find it interesting she didn't mention that Brilliant Ben is working for Fox these days. I believe he guest hosted one of their prime time shows for a couple of weeks. Looking for a full time gig I presume. Hopefully he gets the nod and has to stay in DC to anchor and she won't be able to come back to NYC when the show heads back to the studio.

adore April 28, 2021 Share April 28, 2021 (edited) Meghan McCain is convictionless and has no coherent worldview. She regularly doubles down on the idea that she has a solid work ethic and a flair for politics and, in the same breath, namechecks her father. Why not *show* the audience you understand something rather than *tell* us that you do? (I keep waiting for her to show off that ivy league education.) She is expert at drawing attention to herself as the quintessential product of nepotism and can't distinguish between negative and positive attention. She's nearing Ann Coulter status as a figure who seems to get off on being hated because she's "misunderstood" or "the other side is just too dumb to get it." Everyone knows she'd be a cashier at Lane Bryant if she had a different last name. These temper tantrums aren't entertaining and the show has become barely watchable since she returned. I've adjusted my expectations and stopped tuning in for the most part. She is the "missing stair" that everyone is afraid to deal with directly.

TheGreenKnight April 29, 2021 Share April 29, 2021 Just thinking about this morning’s show again, I can’t help but be struck by the fact that this is yet another McCain response that doesn’t even make sense in context. I mean, McCain’s only response to a topic that was about blatantly false stories is not that false stories are bad, but that the “liberal media” should’ve talked more about some other false story… So the problem isn’t that there are lies in the news in her eyes, it’s that there should be more lies. Incredible. 1 8 Link to comment

bannana April 29, 2021 Share April 29, 2021 Hee hee! https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/news/meghan-mccain-defends-fox-news-after-network-spreads-fake-biden-beef-stories-fox-is-killing-it/ar-BB1gaoPu?ocid=BingNewsSearch From another site: Quote “What I find interesting is not the stories we talk about, but the stories we don’t talk about,” McCain says On Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” Meghan McCain called out her own show for their “liberal bias,” saying: “What I find interesting is not the stories we talk about, but the stories we don’t talk about. We never talked about Hunter Biden … if Ivanka Trump or Donald Trump Jr. coughed in the wrong directions we talk about it.” McCain has frequently called attention to her conservative views clashing with those of her more liberal co-hosts. But on Wednesday’s show, she specifically made reference to the fact that most of the subjects chosen for “Hot Topics” contain issues that are pro-liberal, essentially calling out the producers of her own show for their bias. The co-hosts discussed two recent on-air mistakes from Fox News concerning Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and when asked by Whoopi Goldberg if she thought the media had a right to fact-check stories before the public sees them, McCain ended up defending the conservative network. After asserting that she remains the token conservative woman on the show, McCain went on to complain about her feelings against liberal media, and called out CNN and MSNBC for being just as bad as Fox News. “There’s a reason why Fox is killing it in the ratings and laps everyone else. It’s because it seems like it’s rigged every place else. You think Jim Acosta isn’t an activist? I don’t have any trust in people on CNN,” McCain said. “I take such umbrage at this entire concept that liberal media which runs all of media, all of tech, all of entertainment, all of music, all three branches of government, I’m supposed to feel bad that Fox News has like, two things that have been inaccurate? I mean let’s go down the list of things on CNN and NBC that are inaccurate.” 1 Link to comment
bannana April 29, 2021 Share April 29, 2021 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9521929/Meghan-McCain-rails-against-liberal-mainstream-media-saying-token-conservative.html Quote Megan McCain has been a co-host of The View since 2017, and works alongside Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro. 'What I have found interesting working in what I consider liberal media, is not the stories that we talk about, but the stories that we don't talk about,' she said. 'For example we never once talked about Hunter Biden as a hot topic on this show, whereas if Ivanka Trump or Donald Trump Jr cough in the wrong direction, then it probably would have taken up the first two blocks,' continued McCain. Hunter Biden's foreign business entanglements spurred controversy in the waning days of his father's successful presidential bid last year, but drew little interest from the mainstream media. Facebook and Twitter even censored articles on the topic - but an active FBI probe into Hunter Biden's business deals was later revealed, and DailyMail.com has since confirmed the authenticity of the abandoned laptop that spurred the original stories. In her remarks, McCain touted her conservative credentials, mentioning the conservative news and commentary website run by her husband Ben Domench, The Federalist. 'The reason these outlets like this need to exist is because everything else is liberal, everywhere else,' she said. 'I am the token conservative in media, in mainstream media. The only conservative woman in all of media,' said McCain on Wednesday's episode McCain slammed her own show 'ignoring' certain stories, including Hunter Biden 's controversies 'There's a reason why Fox is killing it in the ratings and laps everyone else,' she said. 'It's because it seems like it's rigged every place else. You think Jim Acosta isn't an activist? I don't have any trust in people on CNN.' 'I take such umbrage at this entire concept that liberal media, which runs all of media, all of tech, all of entertainment, all of music, all three branches of government, I'm supposed to feel bad that Fox News has like, two things that have been inaccurate?' she asked, referring to recent corrections issued by the network. 'I mean let's go down the list of things on CNN and NBC that are inaccurate,' she concluded. McCain, an outspoken conservative, has never been one to hold back on her views, but it is rare for her to so directly criticize the producers of The View, who set the agenda for the show's topics. In January, she did explode on air at a producer on The View after they displayed a legal notice on the show to correct her after she said Michael Avenatti was 'going to jail', when he was actually being remanded pending trial. At the time, McCain was reportedly not on speaking terms with any of her co-hosts and has often found herself at the center of bitter cat fights on screen with her liberal counterparts and guests on the show. She had even fallen out with Abby Huntsman, the other conservative host on the panel, who left the show just weeks later. 3 Link to comment
