2. I could see them spending less time on discussing politics.

But no way will Whoopi, Joy & Ana Navarro (those 3 for certain) "tone down" their criticism of Trump. I can see all of them quitting or being fired before any one of them would agree to "tone down" their criticism of Trump.

Also, Iger is a lying jackass. From the article:

Another source familiar with the matter said ABC will “constantly have conversations with talent based on viewer feedback, and this instance was no different,” suggesting the show’s viewers have indicated that they want the show to be less political.


No way is that true.

Despite suggestions otherwise by ABC’s top brass, the political coverage appears not to have affected the show’s ratings. The show was the No. 1 among daytime network talk shows and news programs during 2025’s first quarter, according to TheWrap, beating time slot competitor The Faulkner Focus on Fox News in both total viewers and women ages 25-54, its chief advertiser-focused demographic, throughout the quarter.


Kinda contradicts the previous claim doesn't it?
