A post shared on Facebook claims that the talk show is getting cancelled. “The View is getting cancelled….Say bye to Toxicity,” The post’s text reads.
The claim is false. The claim that ‘The View’ is getting cancelled originates from a story uploaded to Esspots—which contains a disclaimer at the bottom of the story that reads, “NOTE: This is SATIRE, It’s Not True.”
The story published on Esspots claims to cite an official ABC announcement and a press conference. “In a decision that has rocked the world of daytime television, ABC’s CEO Michael Bellaman has officially announced that it is “finally time” to cancel the long-running and highly controversial talk show The View. The revelation came during a press conference…,” The satirical story’s text reads. (RELATED: Did Candace Owens Accept Deal to Create an ABC Morning Show?)
