In a surprising behind-the-scenes shake-up, Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic are reportedly pressuring the cast of ABC’s “The View” to ease up on their relentless political attacks—especially those aimed at former President Donald Trump.
The push for a softer, less politically charged tone has stirred tension among the show’s famously outspoken hosts.
