Ultrapartisan Conspiracy Theorist Rosie O'Donnell Confirms She Will Return to The View As ABC's Lawyers Insist the Show Is a "Bona Fide News Product"

The FCC is investigating ABC's violation of the rules of equal time. The law requires broadcast networks to offer equal time to all candidates and all political sides if they use their taxpayer-granted airwaves to agitate for any candidate or party.

An exception is made for "bona fide news programs," whose political agitations aren't subject to equal time provisions. (But they should be!)

ABC does not want to give Trump 30-120 minutes per week equal time to offset the daily attacks made on him by The View, so they continue arguing, absurdly, that it's a "bona fide news program."

And just to prove how bona fide this news program is, they've rehired disgusting hag Rosie O'Donnell.

Rosie O'Donnell will be back on "The View" for Season 30.

The former co-host confirmed her return on Monday's episode of the "Tangle With Kyle Ridley" podcast, saying she will take part in the show's 30th-anniversary special.

The 64-year-old plans to take part "in whatever way they want" her "just as a guest."

She added, "They're bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I'm pretty proud of that show, what it's become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics."

O'Donnell, notably, co-hosted the ABC talk show for Seasons 10 and 18.

In addition to an infamous on-air spat with colleague Elisabeth Hasselbeck that led to her initial 2007 exit, the comedian had a "tense" dynamic with Whoopi Goldberg before her 2015 departure.

"I admired Whoopi, wanted to be on her team, had respect for her and I expected we would be like Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan passing the ball back and forth, shooting and leading the team to victory," she recalled on Monday. "And that's not exactly what happened."

She speculated that Goldberg, 70, "felt encroached upon in some way," which may have been why their time together "didn't go so well."

...

"It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about," the Daytime Emmy winner pointed out, which didn't "sit right with her.

...

O'Donnell has opened up about her short time on "The View" before, including a 2023 chat with Brooke Shields about why co-hosting is something she would not "ever do again."

At the time, she said, "It's not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness."

Oh Lord. I know you're all looking at the part about "defending humanity and kindness" but the really absurd part to my mind is "my talent."

Here are just a few of the many, many uncountably many times the "bona fide news program" called The View openly and absurdly electioneered for the far left:

Oh, by the way, Rosie O'Donnell has herpes, and it's your fault, somehow.

I guess she's saying it's my fault, too, but all I know is that I would never fuck something that looks like it lives in the Death Star's garbage system.
