Though The View has been on television since 1997 and its numerous hosts have come and gone, it is a mystery as to who watches it. In its formative years, it may have been watchable, even occasionally newsworthy; Barbra Walters was an actual journalist.
Now, from the clips that are picked up and aired by other news outlets, it has clearly devolved into a slugfest -- vicious, leftist women attack their guests if remotely conservative. There is zero respect for any guest with a politically incorrect opinion. They slobbered over Chelsea Clinton as if she were the Queen of England and attacked Donald Trump Jr.

Hate-filled, lofo liberal women. I've never watched it, since I have a daytime job. Never read of any redeeming qualities. Maybe it keeps some crack queens off the streets for a while. Lies and shouting. Who needs it.

I actually don't watch the View but reading the exchange with Donald Trump Jr. was enlightening. A lot of people probably wondered why he would even go on the program but he was successful in what I could tell. . .

Similarly, where do they dredge up an audience? KAG2020

Disgusting, disturbed people.
The Left wants us to voluntarily place our heads in the guillotine of Socialism. To be convinced to do so would require EXTREME motivation. That's why they are always so over the top. The better conditions are, the more insane they have to get to make their points. It helps that they are zealots. They have approached the point where rational people might consider them candidates for a rubber room.

I can't even bear to watch an outtake of it on the "news". Whoopi Goldberg is the homeliest man ever born.

Years ago, my mother had to go to doctors quite often and I took her. I sometimes felt like I was stuck in a zone where no matter were or when I was, The View was playing in the office. I grew to loathe it. There were times when the screeching harpies made me ashamed to be a woman. I didn't see Donald Trump Jr on it, but I have seen clips. He let them have it and long overdue, I say.

If you offered me $50,000 to watch the view every day for a week...I'd turn you down. I can't stand 10 seconds of the shrill harpies yelling at each other at the same time! Terrible TV! If Americans are really watching this stuff we are finished as a people! They contribute NOTHING to the national dialog on any side of the political spectrum!

From time to time, I turn it on to see who they are working over. Usually I'm there and gone again in five minutes. I missed the Don Jr. episode, so I retrieved it with "on Demand" on Comcast. Whew! It was quite a show. Don Jr. and Kimberly both held their own. Of course Joy was the same old Witch with a B she always is. Who surprised me was Abby Huntsman. She was as bad as Joy, which seemed out of Character for her. She was on FOX for a long time and I enjoyed her, but I guess she was just a Conservative for that show, then reverted to her true shelf which is a Liberal Democrat (like her father).

If you are drinking box wine at ten a.m., you're probably watching the View.

My question exactly.
It is forced on many by the medical office receptionists who turn it on. Those waiting for appointments are held prisoner.

I don't think Barbara Walters would have been rude to her guests. These gals are not only rude, they are shrews. The show should be ended. Nothing good or of any value is offered. I don't understand why folks such s Don, Jr. and Kim, and Jeanine Pirro go on a show where they know they will be bulllied and insulted.
If it weren't for that kind of discourse going on no one would watch the show. To me, it is just a female version of the Jerry Springer Show. I think these shows are designed to entertain folks who sit on their fat hinies all day in front of the tube.

The View represents the worst of television, tiresome, bitter old hags who would not have an audience anywhere else, an audience made up of idle fat housewives who have absolutely nothing better to do. Whoopi's pig eyes and white dreadlocks make her look like the Medusa and Joy Bahar is the type of woman who would drive you across the room at a cocktail party and encourage you not to attend the next one.

Just a suggestion to anyone stuck with this on in the doctor, or nail salon or place of business. Ask them to change the channel. I always do and have never been turned down. Take a small stand. Let people out there know we do not support shows like this, same with CNN in bars. My son runs a restaurant/bar for one of the huge chains and he never lets CNN play. Thank you son!

Doctor's office confirmation: Once,while waiting to see the doc, I politely asked the receptionist to please change the channel or turn it off. She obliged and the people in the room thanked me.
We need to speak up more.

My wife had the misfortune of having to listen to "The View" in a hospital waiting room. After about 5 minutes, she went to the desk and asked them to change the channel. The lady there said she couldn't do it, and there was no remote at her desk. My wife held her ground and after about 10 minutes, a supervisor came and changed the channel.

It’s on because it’s just your dose of daily propaganda from ABC, just like all the rest. No one watches it. ABC (along with the others) just assumes when they throw enough garbage at the wall, some of it will stick. It’s truly awful.

I do not watch the View, and I do know know how any man would. Nothing but a group of gross females.

It serves a purpose. Most telling was when the show was moved from ABC Entertainment Division to ABC News division. There is apparently a choir of harpies to whom it preaches.

#16 My gym had The View running everyday in the locker room. Couldn't access the remote so everyday I would climb up and silence it. Outside I used to just unplug it. This coming from the same woman that would go into B&N and turn the Clinton books backwards if they were spread out in front display. ;) I had the time.

Most disconcerting for me was seeing Abby Huntsman, late of Fox and daughter of John, call Trump a dictator....(I wish someone had asked her to define her terms, but then nobody ever does on anything.) Prior to this, I always thought the woman decent, smart and unfazed. Now........... I give a pass to Meghan McCaine always, but Joy Behar is America's leading Harpy! What an ignorant, nasty SELF SATISFIED woman.

The only "View" is their socialist angry view. Is Baba Wawa still alive and collecting a salary as producer of this garbage?
