**Liberal Elitism on Full Display in Fawning Tribute to Gloria Steinem**
In a recent episode of ABC's *The View*, the hosts showed exactly where their loyalties lie when they engaged in a glorifying interview with feminist icon Gloria Steinem.
This segment served not merely as a dialogue but as a liberal lovefest that echoed sentiments of outdated dogmas and careful revisionist history.
Steinem, lauded for her views by the show's hosts, was elevated to a near-mythical status, leaving viewers with the impression that her opinions on women’s issues are incontrovertibly true.
Whoopi Goldberg, a co-host of the show, set the tone early on by questioning Steinem about her revolutionary ideas without a hint of critical examination.
It's striking that *The View* chose to ignore the many complexities surrounding Feminism’s long and often contentious history.
As Steinem spoke, the theme of equating personal choice with empowerment was woven throughout the conversation, yet this narrative sidesteps vital discussions regarding the consequences of such choices, particularly around abortion.
Joy Behar took it a step further, hailing Steinem’s work with *Ms. Magazine* as groundbreaking by producing a list of women who had abortions, but she failed to grasp that celebrating these decisions could be interpreted as dismissing the moral realities involved.
It’s noteworthy that *The View*’s selective celebration of Steinem also obscures troubling truths about the origins of organizations like Planned Parenthood, founded by Margaret Sanger, whose views on eugenics continue to be a topic of concern among conservatives.
In fact, the segment perpetuated the notion that opposing abortion is intrinsically tied to race and political agendas, a reductionist view that fails to respect the moral objections many hold.
In a contradictory exchange, Sunny Hostin attempted to broach the subject of diversity within *Ms. Magazine*, yet even that criticism felt more like an attempt to appear open-minded rather than a genuine challenge to Steinem's authority.
The shallow engagement revealed the show's biases, as it prioritized narrative over dialogue, echoing a long tradition of liberal media ignoring complex viewpoints while reinforcing their own.
As the hosts fawned over Steinem, they painted a picture of a feminist movement that has successfully liberated women from a "patriarchal" past, despite the significant social issues still requiring dialogue and action.
This episode exemplifies the disconnect between mainstream feminist ideology and the realities many women face today.
The conversation around women’s rights should leave room for all perspectives, not merely those that align with a liberal agenda.
The failure to question Steinem's viewpoints exemplifies a troubling trend within popular media—a trend that favors adoration over accountability, leaving many Americans longing for dialogue that acknowledges all sides.
