After platforming James Talarico, "The View" is facing an investigation by the FCC for potentially breaking the “equal time” political rule that requires non-news shows to give equal time to opposing political views.
While Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck isn’t a fan of "The View," he’s not sure that Trump’s FCC’s investigation will prove "The View" broke any rules.
“If you are a news show, you don’t have to have both sides on, because it's news. It’s breaking every day. It's changing every day. We have a hard enough time booking guests for a subject. Imagine having to book a guest that has the opposite view of everything you just are covering,” Glenn explains on “The Glenn Beck Program.”
“So that’s the rule. Now, ABC claims that 'The View' is a news show,” he says.
“I don’t watch 'The View.' I never have watched 'The View.' I have only watched the clips of 'The View,' because, for the love of everything that is good and sacred, little baby Jesus cannot save my soul from darkness if I watch that thing every day,” he continues.
“So I don’t know for sure, but from the clips that I have seen over the years, I would say that’s a news show,” he adds.
Glenn notes that he’s not “supporting ABC,” but he is “supporting the truth” as he understands it.
“If what they talk about most of the time is the news of the day, I would consider that a news show,” he says, pointing out that it’s his “understanding that Jimmy Kimmel is also considered a news program.”
“That’s not a news program. I did one search. How many politicians has Jimmy Kimmel had on his show in the last 60 days? And the answer was one. What is the balance of his show? The balance of his guests are Hollywood,” he continues. “It’s an entertainment show, not a news show. That one clearly doesn’t qualify.”
