‘They Are Peddling Hate’: Bill O’Reilly Predicts Disney Will Be Forced To ‘Takeover’ ‘The View’

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly called out the decline of corporate media and outlets Thursday on a podcast, highlighting how a show like “The View” might have to be taken over by the network’s owner.

Over the years, a majority of the hosts of “The View” — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — have continuously defended Democrats, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, during their campaigns. On the “Keeping It Real Podcast with Jillian Michaels,” O’Reilly stated that corporate media and outlets like the Los Angeles Times, CNN and MSNBC are failing because of their focus on hate, claiming people are being “directed” to hate specific individuals and policies.

“Now, I think Fox, FNC, because I know everybody over there, has learned its lesson. A billion dollars might do that, but the others, I mean, they are peddling hate on MSNBC. I can’t figure it out because that’s Comcast. They’re killing their own brand. I know Lester Holt,” O’Reilly said. “He’s a solid guy. But he’s being tainted by Rachel Maddow.”

“I mean, and you can’t see that? Why are they permitting it? CNN went so far left, they’re trying to come back now. They even actually booked me for confronting the president. That shocked me and my people,” O’Reilly added. “But it’s easy to peddle hate. The haters get attention. They can get a small audience and they can make money. That’s why it’s happening.”

Michaels jumped in to state how “The View” is “nothing but propaganda and vitriol,” leading O’Reilly to state how the show has been detrimental to the network. (RELATED: ‘Go F*ck Yourselves’: 5 Times Megyn Kelly Skewered Corporate Media Coverage)

“That has hurt ABC News because ABC News controls The View. So I’ve been on The View 20 times, but that was when Barbara Walters was there. That hatred didn’t exist. You still had Behar and Whoopi. You had them, but they were kind of not censored, but there was a different feel to it,” O’Reilly said.

“Now it’s like, your head’s going to blow off. They only have two million people watching them. Why does ABC News want to ruin their brand by this? So Disney is going to have to take The View over. That’ll happen pretty soon,” O’Reilly added. “It’s all about emotion for the ladies. They live in a giant New York City emotion bubble. Living in a bubble is not good for anybody. So they hear every time, every place what they want to hear. They believe what they want to believe. It’s a comfort zone. It’s kind of like a little tranquilizer.”

Since President-elect Donald Trump won the election in November, “The View” has seen a rise in viewership, reaching an average of 3.078 million viewers during the week of Nov. 4, according to Variety. However, despite the increase, corporate media still struggles to match the attention garnered by independent shows like “The Joe Rogan Experience,” “The Megyn Kelly Show” and “The Tucker Carlson Show.”

Comcast announced in November that it plans to spin off MSNBC, CNBC, USA, E!, Oxygen, Syfy and other news and entertainment channels. The telecommunications company made the decision after it was revealed that MSNBC’s ratings fell by 53% following Trump’s victory.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
