'The View' and Misinformation

What do you expect from daytime television? 'The View' is the biggest source of misinformation in America

NewsBusters’ Nicholas Fondacaro crunched the numbers and found the show delivered 36 legal notes in 2022 alone. The list, which he provided exclusively to The Post, includes apologies and clarifications on everything from claiming Ivanka Trump was at the Capitol Jan. 6 (she wasn’t) to complaining Russian soprano Anna Netrebko hadn’t denounced the Ukraine war (she had) to insisting Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh were “credibly accused” of “sexual harassment and sexual assault.”

So more than 2 per month, less than 1 per week. Have they been banned from Twitter or F*c*book for disinformation? I didn't think so.

There are some examples, including the hosts undermining retractions even as they are giving retractions.

Liberals/Progressives are never penalized for lying. It's what they do. ("If you like your doctor...")
