Based on some recent Nielsen ratings, The View has a much smaller audience than Carlson, which must mean she thinks that her respective show is <em>totally<\/em> irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Free Beacon flagged that Behar dabbled into some media history on ABC by bringing up the fact that anti-Semitic radio host Fr. Charles Coughlin, in a country of 127 million, had between 30 to 40 million listeners of his radio program. For comparison, \u201cTucker Carlson has, in a country of 326 million people, he has three million listeners \u2026 he\u2019s almost irrelevant.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joy Behar: &#8220;Tucker Carlson has, in a country of 326 million people, he has 3 million listeners \u2026 he\u2019s almost irrelevant.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SYPQp633d4\">pic.twitter.com\/SYPQp633d4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Washington Free Beacon (@FreeBeacon) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FreeBeacon\/status\/1526584570677809152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For context, during the week of May 2, Carlson\u2019s show, \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight,\u201d was the second most-watched cable news program averaging 3.3 million viewers each night. For the year 2021, Carlson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/tucker-carlson-liberal-viewership-fox-news\/\">averaged<\/a> 3.214 million viewers each night. Not everybody has cable, but Carlson also has <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TuckerCarlson\">more than five million followers<\/a> on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>During that same time period in April, on the other hand, The View <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnewspr.tumblr.com\/post\/683894978383151104\/the-view-ranks-no-1-in-households-and-total\">had an average of 2.214 million viewers per day<\/a>.

As for social media, The View does not even have one million followers on Twitter. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheView\">official Twitter account <\/a>has 887,843 followers. Behar has <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoyVBehar\">slightly more than one million followers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It would appear that few people, using Behar\u2019s standards, want to listen to Behar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/as-ukrainians-fear-for-their-lives-joy-behars-scared-because-her-italian-vacation-might-be-ruined\">lament the loss of her Italian vacation<\/a> due to war in Ukraine. Nor do Americans want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/donald-trump-jr-torches-joy-behar-after-the-view-co-host-floats-sex-strike-over-roe-leak\">hear her call for sex strikes<\/a> in the wake of<em> Roe v. Wade <\/em>possibly being overturned.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Behar\u2019s latest opinion of Carlson belies the fact that she speaks about him with some frequency on the daytime television show she co-hosts. For example, in March, Behar suggested Carlson was responsible for allowing Russian President Vladimir Putin to get away with war crimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat they\u2019re parroting \u2014 what Tucker Carlson parrots every night on Fox News, what Tulsi Gabbard is spreading \u2014 is actually helping Putin get away with criminal acts against innocent Ukrainian civilians,\u201d Behar <a href=\"https:\/\/sg.news.yahoo.com\/view-host-joy-behar-suggests-160248987.html\">said<\/a> at the time. \u201cIt\u2019s horrifying, and what\u2019s so hard for me to understand, we\u2019ve all been watching in horror as these people have been killed, mothers in maternity wings. Can you imagine taking the position of \u2018Eh, Putin, not so bad of a guy?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That is quite the comment to make about a supposed host whom everybody should ignore.<\/p>\n<p>It is doubtful her remarks on Tuesday will be the last time Behar mentions Carlson by name \u2014 despite his alleged irrelevance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-j7qwjs\">\n<div id=\"post-body-text\">\n<div class=\"e1nzmkc90 css-1s0j25g\">\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The View\u2019s Joy Behar has been known to bloviate about herself with a uniquely self-absorbed style of speaking, but it seems that she reserved her most head-scratching comments for Tuesday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":326,"featured_media":1483442,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1478316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1478316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/326"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1478316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1478316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1483442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1478316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1478316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1478316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
