misinformation in America

Barbara Walters died last week at 93, but the legendary journalist’s legacy lives on: “The View,” the daytime-TV talker she created in 1997, is the most-watched — and most-talked-about — show in its genre.
Some legacy, though: What Walters envisioned as “women of different generations, backgrounds and views” discussing “the topics of the day, mixing humor with intelligent debate,” devolved after she departed as co-host in 2014 into a four-against-one daily catfight with few laughs and even fewer smarts.
The New York Times calls it “the most important political TV show in America.” If so, America is in trouble — because “The View” is the biggest source of misinformation in the country.

Behar and Whoopi are a disgrace to women, men and every breathing thing in this country. Their stupidity is amazing. Their comments are stupid to the nth degree. I think they do it on purpose to make news. Maybe not. Maybe they really are that mentally unsound.

What is a disgrace is that there are actually people dumb enough to watch it. Very sad commentary on todays society

FTA, Ms Goldberg quote to The Times of London, on her, “white people doing it to white people,” perspective on the Holocaust, “You would have thought that I’d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked.”
To the London TIMES?
Can you imagine what the space must be like in THAT brain?
And the external package in comes in?
I’d be embarrassed for her personally if I thought self-examination was even on her radar but since it’s not I’m just embarrassed for the country; albeit I don’t know why I should be since being an, “American,” is nothing Ms Goldberg would admit to or be proud of.
Evidently the privilege of money and fame— but we know it already— does not universally actuate gratitude, humility, and in this case certainly not penetration or wisdom.
Appalling.

No one with a modicum of integrity or intelligence watches the damn show anyway... Nor do they care what the NYT has to say.

When my mother was ill, I took her to all her doctor's appointments. It seemed to me that no matter when or where, The View was on in the waiting room. I grew to hate it! About a year ago, I had to go to get my tires rotated. The View was on. I sat in a hallway rather than the waiting room. I loathe that show with a loathing that can't be put into words.

DUH! The emperor is still naked but Whoopi says his outfit is stunningly appropriate.

Baba Wawa died and Judy Woodruff retired. As they are saying in California, when it rains it pours.

FTA: More than 2.4 million people watch “The View” every day — and are less informed for it every day
And this is where the Karens get their "news".

If we wanted to see what's wrong with America all we would need would be for the View's cameras to pan the show's live audience.

I recall returning from SE Asia in 1972, seeing Phil Donahue on the tube, and thinking "what happened to the country while I was gone?".
IMO He introduced America hatred to this country and it is flourishing.

I call this "program" "The Doushe". Have to misspell it though, because Lucianne's censors are sensitive.

It's a show for the uniformed who want to remain uninformed. The only thing that makes The View different from the old Opray show, is that they don't give away gifts to the audience.

The five morons that make up The View only have one view and they have to bend way over and look up their dresses to see it. I would rather spend an hour inserting splinters under my fingernails.

I credit the view for getting me to the gym earlier than I had. My favorite elliptical faces a huge monitor on which, at 10:00am, comes The View. While there is no sound the subtitles display the hate and stupidity of these harpies very accurately. After a couple of days I now show up 1/2 early to avoid the pain. My gym also has screens set to Fox News so it does provide alternatives but too far away from my machine.

I know someone who watches The View. A good person. However, their fealty to shows like The View, Good Morning America, ABC (or NBC, CBS) National News, much less the local broadcast news and newspaper, makes discussing ANYTHING political, medical, or scientific with this person pretty much off limits.
IMO, this (along with our educational system being sabotaged for decades, think American History) is exactly one of the biggest reasons why this country is in dire straits, many people refuse to see they're being lied to and refuse to even attempt alternate news coverage. One day, at least I'm hoping, something will jar this individual into the real world. Unfortunately, I'm not optimistic.

All I can say about The View is that they are good for laughs. Greg Gutfeld uses them, especially, Joy Behar, for a punch line for many, many laughs. It's too easy!

The year in my saying has to be updated so here it is ladies and gentlemen. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The View is the stupidest show on TV in the year of our Lord 2023.

The View is made up of extremely liberal women who are paid to spew their uninformed opinions. Their live audience are hand picked to clap like seals. Their TV audience are like minded idiots who only deal in feelings and opinions. Never inconvenient facts. I don’t really care that they exist. You couldn’t pay me to watch this crap.

I believe it was the great Rush Limbaugh who said politics (or televised politics) is a beauty contest for the truly ugly.

I don't know if it is the biggest source of misinfomation in America (There are some gigantic ones, including the entire government ), but it sure is a major source of venomous female bile.

While The View is a big one, they aren't the only one because CNN/MSNBC has some whoppers of their own on parade.
