Poor baby! Hasselbeck thinking of leaving ABC for Fox....

http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7012358043


New York, NY (CNS) - Elisabeth Hasselbeck may be saying goodbye to "The View" and hello to Fox News. Hasselbeck co-hosts ABC's "The View" along with Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd.

Hasselbeck has been a co-host on "The View" since 2003. Rumor has it, however, that Fox News is courting her to come over to their network. Hasselbeck, who has faced challenges on the talk show from Behar, and former co-host Rosie O'Donnell, is said to be considering it.

Hasselbeck, who graduated from Boston College and appeared on the CBS reality show "Survivor: Australian Outback," is conservative and that's where the problems arise. Fox is said to favor conservative Republicans so maybe it will be a better fit.

Celebrity News Service wouldn't be surprised to hear if Hasselbeck left "The View" in favor of more hospitable surroundings. An insider has reportedly said she is tired of defending herself in her current hosting job.

One thing Hasselbeck, a mother of two, has shown us from her days on "Survivor," is that the girl is tough. She has her opinions and sticks with them. Only time will tell if she finds a new television home, but that same insider has reported that Fox loves Hasselbeck and their ratings increase whenever she is on the show.

13. Raise?
More like lower it by another 20 or so but Faux won't really miss it anyway.

Once intelligence gets that low it's nearly impossible to measure. How do you measure the IQ of cabbage? Yeah that's what I thought :P

3. She was "goody two shoe" who became a villian at the end on survivor
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 03:37 PM by IWantAnyDem
She's a truly nasty and vile human being, which came out clearly on Survivor.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. She won't last on Fox.

27. Oh really?
I thought she was a fan favorite on Survivor. I've watched every season of Survivor but I can't remember her for some reason. I remember the other 3 people of the final 4 contestant but she is wiped from my memory. Oh well....probably for the best.

Do they rerun Survivor? It would just be interesting to see her, knowing what I now know about her.

38. Isn't she the most famous Survivor alumni?
They're all famewhores in reality shows--but isn't EH the most famous of them all? I can't think of any others who have gotten permanent gigs on anything like the View. I remember when she first got on the show, I thought it was weird that somebody from Survivor was getting a real job.

44. Well, yeah, one of the more famous.
She's the only one who has gotten a real, high profile job because of Survivor. I know Colby from the same season as Elizabeth, works (or worked?) on Racheal Ray's talk show. He would come on and talk about "male issues." I don't know why he would be qualified to do so. Richard Hatch was probably as famous but he has faded away. Personally, I enjoy reality tv but people should just fade away after their 15 minutes are up. Well, unless you are really talented, like Jennifer Hudson. Elizabeth's 15 min. were up years ago.

FOX is where everyone win zero credibility and accountability goes. Good, get that bitch off of the show she's just poison to them anyway.

8. I happened to see an interview with her during the Rep convention
The interviewer was from Fox..and I got the feeling then that she would move there.. I can not remember exactly what was said to her...but whatever it was it rang a bell..

I do know they asked her if she could swing any view participants to McCain... I thought RIGGGHTTTTT

9. it's not even that she's a conservative that bothers people, I think.
It's more that she's....an asshole. Who constantly interrupts people and starts screaming "Rev. Wright! Rezko!" whenever something slightly negative is said of McCain....horrible listener. Good riddance!

14. Her taped "faux pas" at the RNC convention luncheon probably did her in...
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 04:17 PM by timeforarevolution
Her contrasting views are probably needed for lively interaction, but her dissing Michelle Obama at the RNC luncheon for Cindy McCain probably pissed Barbara off. It was very unprofessional.

If Joy (the liberal of the bunch) had hosted a luncheon for Michelle Obama as part of a political event and proceeded to trash Cindy McCain, Barbara would have been pissed about that as well, most likely.

Hasselbeck is simply annoying all the way around. She and Hannity should have their own show and get rid of Colmes since he's useless anyway. I'll never see her again once she goes to Faux. Yay!

52. Thank you for that response! I agree with your assessment
I have always defended Elizabeth because I feel that in her cat fight with Rosie, she was actually in the right. LISTEN UP: NOT HER VIEWPOINT, BUT HER RIGHT TO LET ROSIE DEFEND HERSELF. I have found her unusually strident and anti-Obama and could never figure out why she was so intense about it. I suspected that her hubby is very Right Wing and she loves her man and decided to parrot his views. Who knows and who cares.

However, when she said that thing about Michelle, she was so vicious in her remarks (even her facial expression) that I finally had enough of her.

now I won't watch it at all. I told them I'd be boycotting it until Hasselwhatever is gone and I'm sticking to it.

31. Great!!!
That would completely highlight the fact that Fox News isn't actually a "news" network. Does she have any qualifications that would justify Fox hiring her, other than being a Republican? I mean, I don't see her being able to carry a show on her own...not even on Fox. Well, if it gets her off the View, then I hope this is true. I like Whoopi and Joy and would be able to tolerate watching the show if Elizabeth left.
