View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is making the jump from network to cable, with the announcement today that she will be leaving ABC’s The View to co-host Fox & Friends.
In Fox’s press release, Hasselbeck says, “I have been a long-time fan
of Fox & Friends and am excited to be joining their team in
September as it is an honor to call the FOX News Channel my new
television home.”
The press release also includes Ailes welcoming Hasselbeck and
praising her for her “warm and engaging personality,” and a statement
from Barbara Walters saying, “We will miss her and wish her everything good.”
There were rumors back in March that Hasselbeck would be leaving The View this year. Walters denied that
Hasselbeck was being pushed out for her conservative views, or at all,
for that matter, only to be rebutted by a report a week later saying
that Hasselbeck is “toast.” Another rumor sprung up that CNN head Jeff Zucker was interested in bringing Hasselbeck on CNN right after leaving ABC. Hasselbeck will officially start on the couch with Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade in mid-September.
Meanwhile, current Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson will be leaving the morning show to anchor her own daytime program, debuting sometime this fall.
Not only is Bill Maher a lying, scheming prick, but so are are all his liberal stooges like Cornel West and D.L. Hughley, who constantly go on his show and play right into his hypocritical conservative-bashing:
HBO's Bill Maher on Friday perfectly demonstrated liberal hypocrisy concerning how Democrat and Republican presidents should be treated by the media.
In a lengthy segment on HBO's "Real Time" about how "disrespectful" Bill O'Reilly was during his Super Bowl interview with Barack Obama, Maher castigated the Fox News host for his "unpatriotic" behavior moments before debasing former President George W. Bush for not being "aware of s--t".
If being patriotic means "not belittling your President," exactly what was that?
O'Reilly in Maher's view was "disrespectful" to Obama, but it was completely acceptable for the "Real Time" host to say Bush "wasn't aware of s--t." And nobody on Maher's production crew caught the glaring hypocrisy.
Boggles the mind, doesn't it?
In reality, this whole outrage of Maher's concerning O'Reilly's treatment of Obama is the height of hypocrisy.
Other than Keith Olbermann, likely no mainstream media member has shown more disrespect for George W. Bush than the "Real Time" host. For him to criticize anyone's treatment of an American President is the height of gall.
On Friday evening, Maher perfectly demonstrated that only Democrat presidents are deserving of respect.
A Republican?
He isn't "aware of s--t!"
Thanks for clearing that up, Bill
Any wonder Elisabeth Hasselbeck questioned his manhood recently, talk about a small man with a serious Napoleon complex.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck has some surprising opinions.
In a two-part interview with Fancast, the conservative co-host of "The View" came out in support of gay marriage and described President Obama as "an incredibly cool guy."
"I am not ultra-ultra-conservative on every issue. I actually support gay marriage," she told Fancast in part one. "I think the gay marriage thing would definitely surprise people. I mean, for some people, it will surprise them to the point that they won't want to hear it. 'No, that can't be, I really want to have this sort of idea of her in my head,' so I sort of rain on their parade there. I am a person that does believe that life begins at conception, but I also don't believe that the government should tell women what to do with their bodies. So I'm torn there in terms of supporting laws [for or against abortion]. I always say I would rather change a heart than a law. I think it has to start there. Always trying to mandate, mandate, mandate this or that is not the way that I believe this country should run."
Hasselbeck said it would be more appropriate to describe her as a "Federalist" than a "conservative."
I've tried to defend Hasselbeck in the past, but no longer. From her condemning Arizona's SB1070 law to supporting Obama's Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor to just being a general airhead and now this, I've just lost all respect for her.
On her Bravo show last Tuesday night, Kathy Griffin trashed Sen. Scott Brown's two daughters as "prostitutes." CNN reporter Dana Bash, who was present with her husband John King, erupted into laughter.
Yesterday on ABC's "The View," co-host Joy Behar tried to throw a wet blanket on the ensuing outrage over the "joke," which included condemnations of Griffin's comments by Scott Brown himself and by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.).
"It's just a joke," Behar repeatedly affirmed during a heated exchange with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who vehemently disagreed.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Hasselbeck exclaimed. "We've always said politicians' kids are off limits! If someone went around calling Barack Obama's two girls prostitutes, people would be up in arms. Laybacks! Kathy Griffin's got to back up on that one right now!"
Hasselbeck ripped Griffin as "scum" for her remarks. "You defend your daughters against scum who comes after them and calls them someone like a prostitute," Hasselbeck asserted about Scott Brown's condemnation of Griffin's "joke."
On the June 22 episode of "The View," co-host Joy Behar criticized prayer, saying it "takes the place of logical thinking, then I think that's dangerous."
Behar's attack on prayer came as she defended comedian Janeane Garofalo, who during a June 16 appearance on Behar's Headline News show called prayer "anti-intellectual" in criticizing President Obama's reference to prayer during his speech about the Gulf oil spill.
Behar said Garofalo should have said prayer was "un-intellectual," not "anti-intellectual."
"Faith is something that you feel," Behar said. "Thinking is something that you do with your brain. It's different."
Behar's criticism of prayer riled co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who challenged the attack.
BEHAR: When prayer takes the place of logical thinking, then I think it's dangerous.
HASSELBECK: Prayer's not illogical.
BEHAR: No. But it takes the place of thinking.
HASSELBECK: No it doesn't. That's a complete bigoted statement to say that when I'm praying, I'm not thinking.
BEHAR: How dare you say that to me! Excuse me!
You get the feeling sometimes that liberals really hate Christians. Of course, when it comes to the 'tolerant' Left that couldn't possibly be true.
ABC has pulled its ads from gossip blogger Perez Hilton's Web site, PerezHilton.com, after he caught legal flack for posting upskirt photos of 17-year-old Disney star Miley Cyrus. However, several big-name companies still have ads running on the snarky blogger's site.
Amid speculation that Hilton may be slapped with kiddie-porn charges over the lurid photos, ABC has removed its ads for "The View" from the popular gossip site. But other advertisers appear to be sticking by Hilton. TV Land still had a full-page background promotion and two smaller ads on PerezHilton.com, and Apple iTunes and Microsoft's search engine Bing still had advertisements up as of Wednesday afternoon.
The drama started Monday, when Hilton posted a link to a photo of Cyrus getting out of a car in a tight white dress - and apparently, no underwear. Outrage erupted over the photo, with some calling the image "child pornography" since Cyrus is legally a minor. Hilton quickly removed the picture, but has brushed off the incident as a "fake" controversy.
It's odd that Microsoft, which owns Bing, would opt to keep advertising. It has recently been touting its own crusade against kiddie-porn.
Perez Hilton: bully, hypocrite, liberal icon, gay "rights" spokesman and all-around pervert. This is your modern-day Left.
As a sports nut, I couldn't help but notice all the Erin Andrews stalking drama that's been going on for the last year or two. In a nutshell, last year some creep posted a nude photo of the ESPN host on a website that he videotaped through a hotel peephole. Quickly, a whole media brouhaha ensued, the creep got caught, Andrews notoriety went gangbusters and the guy was eventually sentenced to 30 months in jail. Fair enough. But the problem I have with Erin Andrews is how she handled the whole thing: self-righteous, over-the-top, snobby, victimhood with drama and emotions that would make Meryl Streep envious. Then too, as a host on ESPN, Andrews never seemed to have any problem playing up her good looks and charm with the mostly male, testosterone-filled, sports crowd (and let's not pretend that Andrews being a "PWF" aka 'Pretty White Female' didn't play into all the attention this drama got either).
So nitwit conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck makes a "joke" about how Erin's stalker/peeping tom could have saved himself some jail time if he just waited a few weeks to see her on "Dancing With The Stars" (where Andrews is a contestant on wearing half-naked outfits) and now the whole world (including, of course, Andrews) is ready to crucify her. First, you know that half the grief Hasselbeck's getting is due to her being a the sole "conservative" on a popular, left-leaning, daytime TV show. Then too is the fact that it was a "JOKE"...yunno like haha, funny...surely David Letterman or Jay Leno could've made the same joke on late-night TV and gotten away with it. Finally, even after Hasselbeck apologized to Andrews personally, the pretentious snob that is Andrews couldn't resist playing the righteous feminist card while taking a cheap shot at Elisabeth: “It was a slap in the face to victims of stalking and sexual predators. As a mother and a woman, I’m disappointed she went there.” Really now, was that necessary? Of course not. But then when it comes to playing the victim we haven't seen this kind of theatrics from a woman since the likes of Susan Smith.
God that condescending prick Joy Behar annoys the shit out of me. Either way only a narcissistic loon like Barry would grade himself, much less give himself a 'B+' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Another example of why Elisabeth Hasselbeck sucks as the "conservative voice" of "The Voice". Hasselbeck doesn't know how to fight off standard liberal talking points. de Rossi's no great intellect. Her little speech on why gays should be "married" comes straight from the liberal handbook: mention "civil rights", equate yourself with the Blacks (in this case referring to yourself as a "minority"), yada, yada, yada. Hasselbeck could've made any of several points to combat de Rossi's typical, leftist spiel. She could've mentioned that whether you like the end result or not, the passage of Prop 8 spoke for our countries most Democratic process: the electorate voted on it. Hasselbeck could've also mentioned that 31 states have said no to "gay marriage". She could've contradicted de Rossi's asinine comment that it isn't about the word "marriage" (as opposed to "rights") by mentioning how civil unions have given gays the same "rights" as married couples in all states where its been passed. Granted its hard to take anything on "The View" seriously, but when you're the lone "conservative voice" on any popular TV show, it just looks extra bad when you fail to do your homework and look unprepared when taking on liberals. Any wonder Hasselbeck gets so much grief from the Right.
Rosie O'Donnell can't seem to stop talking about her ugly departure from "The View," and the famous feud she had with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
An eyewitness tells FOX411 exclusively that the former "The View" co-host slammed her former show and called her former co-host a vulgarism that starts with a "t" and rhymes with "swat," just four days before Hasselbeck gave birth to her third child.
It all happened on August 5 during a stand-up routine as part of O'Donnell's "Girls' Night Out Tour" with singer Cyndi Lauper. First, Rosie cracked jokes about "The View," illiciting roars of laughter from the audience at the St. George Theatre in Staten Island, N.Y.
"Rosie started out by asking the audience, 'What was that show I was on?'" an audience member tells FOX411. "Then, instead of saying, 'The View,' she called it 'The Screw You.' She continued by calling Elisabeth Hasselbeck, 'Elizabeth Half-a-brain.' Then she jumped to another topic."
But Rosie wasn't done. Not even close.
The audience member says she went back to her "The View" experience. "Rosie said when she first met Elisabeth, she thought she would love her, because they're both Christians," the eyewitness says. "Then she stopped and said, 'But then she turned on me.' Then Rosie called her a 't--t.' O'Donnell then moved on to a different subject, saying she really didn't want to start a new feud, or restart an old one."
A rep for Hasselbeck declined to comment.
Portrait of an ugly, forever angry, hasbeen, vindictive dyke who more than gives the so-called "progressives" on the Left a bad name.
By the way, congrats to Hasselbeck on the recent news of her 3rd kid.
Apparently, singer (and huge Democrat donor) Barry Manilow was supposed to appear and perform on "The View" tomorrow, but backed out at the last minute because he's afraid of big, bad, conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck:
Barry told TMZ, "I strongly disagree with her views. I think she's dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her."
What a wuss! Afraid to come on a show just because one of it's co-hosts political views doesn't agree with yours? Kind of reminds me of all the wussy Democrat politicians scared to go on FOX News. And doesn't Barry know that Hasselbeck is nothing but the token conservative on a show dominated by liberals? I'm sure if Hasselbeck dared to intimidate poor little Barry, liberal bullies Joy Behar or Whoopi Goldberg would've been right there to protect him. You just know that Rosie O'Donnell had something to do with this.
Either way Barry needs a grow a pair, much less a spine.
Great. An unfunny, liberal comedian who once had her white boyfriend at the time pose in blackface and big, red lips as a "joke" and said she'd leave the country if George Bush was elected President (she lied and stayed) gets the moderator spot on "The View":
Whoopi Goldberg will take over The View host role recently vacated by Rosie O'Donnell.
Goldberg will join exisitng co-hosts Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck for the show's 11th season.
"I have known Whoopi for years. She is brilliant, funny and irrepressible, and is an enormously popular and talented star," creator Barbara Walters says of Goldberg. "We are delighted that she is going to join the programme as our moderator. This is going to be a great new chapter for The View."
Cool, now Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the lone conservative on the show, can look forward to being bullied every day by the leftwing, two-head monster of Behar and Goldberg when she gets back from maternity leave in a few months.
Claim To Fame: the lone conservative co-host on ABC's "The View"
Why She's Person Of The Week: For finally showing some balls this week by putting fellow "co-host" and Left-wing extremist Rosie O'Donnell in her place this week on "The View". In a spat that made news all over the country, on Wednesday, Hasselbeck and O'Donnell got into in a 10-minute verbal joust after liberal co-host Joy Behar (aka mini-Rosie) read off a laundry list of what she viewed as President Bush's failings. After Behar and Hasselbeck went at it for 5 minutes, O'Donnell joined in the frey to double-team the conservative co-host as they usually attempt to do. Yet this time Hasselbeck was prepared.
Hasselbeck is often criticized in conservative circles for being "soft" and inarticulate with her views (to be fair I don't know how many female conservative pundits, not named Ann Coulter, could stand up, by themselves, on a daily basis, to a couple liberal co-hosts who play loose with facts and use bully tactics when debating issues), but that wasn't the case on Wednesday, as Hasselbeck was dead-on in attacking O'Donnell for being "obnoxious" as well as challenging her to defend her own insinuations concerning those in the media who've accused O'Donnell of calling our troops "terrorists".
O'Donnell, who has pretty much run "The View" (she controls the debates, makes all the announcements, commercials, segues and gives herself the most air time to voice of all of her insane, liberal lies) since Barbara Walters signed her on, seemed to be both shocked and angered that Hasselbeck was taking her on . . . and winning the heated debate. With only three weeks left before Rosie leaves "The View", Hasselbeck could just say little and count down the days down to when the "big, fat, lesbian" goes away, but instead she's speaking up and that's a very good thing for conservatives who get little say in the liberal mainstream press.
