Part 4/8:
The mention of legal disclaimers on The View has not been uncommon, as the program often walks a tightrope between controversial opinions and corporate responsibility. Critics have recently pointed to the fact that while prior shows have had to add disclaimers due to legal potentialities, this instance appeared to lack immediate corrective action following Hostin’s comments. Instead, it raises questions about how prepared ABC is to defend or distance itself from on-air content that might implicate their hosts or lead to litigation risks.
