It seems Farah Griffin finally proved to producers she was up to the task. <\/p>\n<p>When Farah Griffin made her first appearance at the \u201cHot Topics\u201d table last October, she began by desperately apologizing for serving in the Trump administration and bent the knee with nervous laughter to every insult her co-hosts threw at her. <\/p>\n<p>She attempted to distance herself from Trump by noting that she was initially working under Vice President Pence. Co-host Sunny Hostin shot back, \u201cSo you\u2019re not working for Darth Vader, but you\u2019re a stormtrooper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Corporate media outlets <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/the-view-hosts-embarrass-former-trump-spokeswoman-alyssa-farah\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">called<\/a> the exchange \u201cembarrassing\u201d for Farah Griffin, and it was, but not for the reasons they assume. What\u2019s embarrassing is disowning your own previously held beliefs, convictions, and career\u2019s work in exchange for seal claps, media attention, and the approval of Whoopi Goldberg. <\/p>\n<p>In Farah Griffin\u2019s subsequent appearances on \u201cThe View,\u201d as well as on CNN and MSNBC, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2022\/07\/what-happened-to-alyssa-farah\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contradicted<\/a> her own publicly stated opinions on voter fraud, Jan. 6, Hunter Biden, and even former President Trump\u2019s Covid response. <\/p>\n<p>Secondhand embarrassment aside, this isn\u2019t so much a loss for conservative media representation or even for Farah Griffin herself. The real mistake here is on ABC producers and their failure to understand their audience and their major ratings problem. <\/p>\n<p>Under Meghan McCain\u2019s reign in the conservative hot seat, \u201cThe View\u2019s\u201d ratings skyrocketed. The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/05\/22\/magazine\/the-view-politics-tv.html\">lauded<\/a> it as the \u201cMost Important Political TV\u00a0Show\u00a0in America,\u201d and appearing as a guest on the show became a must for any politician running for office. Yet, the permanent talking heads and producers can\u2019t see where that success was derived. <\/p>\n<p>Even while remaining staunchly anti-Trump, McCain was never bullied into submission by her far-left co-hosts. Of course the heated exchanges and must-see-TV catfights drove ratings, but more than that, McCain represented the opinions of millions of American women who do not see their views shared anywhere else on network television. With McCain gone, and a weak-kneed Trump defector filling her place, what\u2019s to keep those women tuning in when they can hear the same earful of leftist talking points from literally every other form of corporate media? <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps now that Farah Griffin has earned her permanent spot (and her paycheck), she can grow a spine without worrying so much about nailing the audition, but I wouldn\u2019t hold my breath. For people like Farah Griffin, Mediaite headlines and Twitter seal claps are far more rewarding than the affection of women in Middle America. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n  Madeline Osburn is managing editor at The Federalist.
