Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner has declared all-out war on The View‘s Joy Behar, slamming her as “toxic” and “narrow-minded” after Faulkner’s show The Faulkner Focus crushed ABC’s ratings for the first time in January 2025. In a blistering interview, Faulkner accused Behar and co-hosts of spewing “vitriol” with a “dicey approach to journalism,” allegedly telling allies off-air, “Joy’s worldview is so myopic, it’s hurting America – time to call it out!” This explosive feud has media tongues wagging: Is it personal payback or a battle for daytime dominance?

Faulkner, 59, a six-time Emmy winner, saw her 11 a.m. slot surge past The View‘s 1.2 million viewers, marking a historic upset. Behar, 82, known for her sharp liberal jabs, has clashed with conservatives before, but Faulkner’s swipe – calling the show “hollow outrage” – hits hard. Insiders reveal a potential trigger: Behar’s past mockery of Fox as “fake news,” prompting Faulkner to reportedly vow, “I’m not holding back anymore.” The Outnumbered co-host’s “cougar” moniker from fans adds spice, with social media buzzing over this “mèo cào” showdown.

As ratings battles rage, Behar hasn’t responded directly, but The View panels are heating up with subtle digs. Will this escalate to a cross-network confrontation? Faulkner’s victory lap might just ignite the biggest media meltdown of 2025 – stay glued, because the claws are out.
