The AP has officially called the presidential race for Donald Trump, and the reactions from mainstream media are pouring in, none more fiery than those from the hosts of âThe View.â
The daytime talk showâs co-hosts erupted during Wednesdayâs broadcast, not holding back in their opinions about Trumpâs win and their frustrations over what they claim is unchecked misinformation and a failure to regulate social media. As the segment began, co-hosts Joy Behar and Sara Haines were visibly shaken. Behar didnât mince words about the perceived dangers of âfake newsâ and her desire for increased censorship to âteach children tolerance.â
âCan we not let Fox News off the hook, please?â Behar said. âAll the fake news thatâs been going out there. You know, one of the things that we need to do, and itâs not to abolish the Department of Education, as a former teacher, believe me, this is, heâs [Trump] talking about doing that.â
Haines weighed in, saying, âWell, it would help if we could regulate social media ⊠because one of the biggest defenders is D.C. and Congress, have not been able to do one thing in regard to the rogue corporations.â
