After a decade of controversy, staunch conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck said goodbye to The View today. She'll be heading to Fox News in September. The Daily Beast's Kevin Fallon reviews her awkward final episode. Plus, Tricia Romano on why rumored replacement Jenny McCarthy should stay far, far away.

HE'S INNOCENT, HE TELLS YA

And the saga continues. National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden went on the record again Saturday and then on Tuesday afternoon, telling The Guardian that he never gave Russia or China any information and that neither government ever drained the contents of his four laptops. The claim that China took information from Snowden's laptop appears to have originated from a New York Times article that cites two anonymous sources. Meanwhile, a new Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday showed that 55 percent of Americans view Snowden as a "whistleblower in leaking details about top-secret U.S. programs that collect telephone and Internet data," as opposed to the 34 percent who view him simply as a traitor.

HUH?

Google's motto is "Don't be evil." The politically correct company goes to great lengths to reduce its carbon footprint and support other liberal causes. So why is it holding a fundraiser for far-right Sen. James Inhofe? The Daily Beast's William O'Connor reports.

Conspiracy

Apple is guilty of colluding with book publishers to raise prices for e-books, according to a federal judge, in a decision that will affect how books are sold online. In 2010 Apple and the publishing industry tried to fight Amazon's dominance of the e-book market by working out a deal that would let publishers set their own prices for e-books sold through Apple, allowing them to raise the cost above Amazon's $9.99 price point. But in 2012 the Justice Department charged Apple, along with five of the six major publishers, with violations of anti-trust law. The publishers settled, but Apple decided to fight the charges. The judge ruled against Apple and called for a separate trial to determine damages.

Hola, Amigo!

Former President George W. Bush has remained mostly quiet on matters of policy since leaving office. But on Wednesday he said he hopes there is a "positive resolution" to the immigration debate in Washington. "I hope during the debate we keep a benevolent spirit in mind and we understand the contributions immigrants make to our country," said Bush during a naturalization ceremony in Dallas. Bush, who tried to pass immigration reform in 2007 only to be stopped by his own party, spoke hours before House Republicans were set to meet to decide whether they will support immigration reform.
