New York, NY — Tensions between cable news giants reached a boiling point this week as Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner delivered a fiery on-air rebuttal to The View‘s Whoopi Goldberg, calling her “ignorant,” “out of touch,” and “dangerous” after Goldberg made a controversial remark about conservative media and the state of American discourse.

What began as a seemingly routine discussion on The View about political polarization quickly spiraled after Goldberg dismissed right-wing media as “propaganda machines”, implying that figures like Faulkner “stir fear” for ratings.

The clip went viral — and Faulkner didn’t stay silent.

“She Has No Clue What She’s Talking About”

Responding during her own Fox News segment, Harris Faulkner didn’t hold back.

“It’s always fascinating when someone with a massive platform — and very little grasp of reality — calls the rest of us ignorant,” Faulkner said. “Whoopi Goldberg has made a career out of condescending to Americans she doesn’t understand, and frankly, doesn’t even try to.”

She continued:

“Calling millions of Americans brainwashed because they watch Fox News isn’t just arrogant — it’s dangerous. She’s out of touch and out of line.”

The View vs. Fox: A Longstanding Feud

This isn’t the first time sparks have flown between the co-hosts of The View and personalities at Fox News. In recent years, The View has become increasingly critical of Fox, often using segments to dismantle conservative narratives and mock prominent Fox hosts. Fox, in return, has accused The View of “liberal elitism” and pushing “performative outrage.”

But Faulkner’s direct hit on Goldberg marks one of the most personal jabs yet — especially coming from someone known for a relatively measured tone compared to other firebrand Fox figures.

Online Reaction: Divided, as Always

As expected, the internet quickly took sides.

Conservative voices rallied behind Faulkner, praising her for “standing up to Hollywood arrogance” and calling Goldberg a “serial offender of misinformation.”

Progressive users, however, accused Faulkner of hypocrisy.
“Fox calling someone ignorant is the pot calling the kettle black,” one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote.
Another quipped: “When the network that defended actual conspiracy theories calls someone else out of touch, it’s comedy.”

Goldberg Silent — For Now

As of this writing, Whoopi Goldberg has not responded directly to Faulkner’s remarks — but given The View’s track record, a fiery on-air clapback may only be a matter of time.

The feud underscores a broader cultural clash: one between celebrity-driven liberal commentary and populist conservative media — with millions watching from both sides, waiting for the next strike.
