Melanie said that it had been circulating for different reasons, including a decline in ratings and criticism towards the hosts.“All day long, they rail against conservatives or Republicans or anyone that doesn’t align with their talking points.

The truth is ABC should pull the plug”, King added.Melanie King stated that she would not accept that the ABC production was the “number one daytime talk show.” The YouTube star mentioned that controversies always led to an increase in viewership and that it had reportedly reduced in the last three years.Melanie referred to the cancellation of The Late Show, saying that ABC should now suit, and adding:“Relics like The View are not safe and they shouldn’t be.

Again, the only times they have good ratings is when there’s a spike in views from a special guest, and especially during the election cycle when they would have on Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, then they would get a boost. Otherwise, no one wants to hear what these ladies have to say, and they’re getting tuned out on a daily basis,” she said.Melanie said that although the talk show was being watched by millions, people didn’t like it at the same time for certain reasons.
