Fans of The View Petition ABC to Fire Whoopi and Joy: “We Want Our Show Back”

The View has been on television for going on three decades. In that time, it’s seen some of the most interesting exchanges on television. When Survivor celebrity Elizabeth Hasselbeck joined, the show got a bit of a political push.

Unfortunately, over the last few years, the show has gone full-tilt into politics, with a deep dive to the left. It’s become so awful that a group of more than one million fans sent ABC a petition to remove Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg.

We found social media posts with the claim on Facebook. Additionally, the Dunning-Kruger Times’ article was published word-for-word on at least three other websites.

The claim about a fan-led petition against Goldberg and Behar wasn’t true. On the Dunning-Kruger Times’ “About Us” page, the outlet described its articles as fiction.
