Imagine a kindergarten talent show where every child is handed a microphone, told they’re brilliant, and encouraged to scream whatever they feel. Facts are optional, and tantrums are welcome. Now replace those toddlers with embittered semi-celebrities clinging to cultural relevance, amplify their egos with national airtime, and broadcast it five days a week. That’s The View. What once was pitched as a platform for intelligent dialogue has morphed into a bitter cocktail of rage, identity politics, and intellectual laziness. Once known for its various voices, The View has devolved into a soapbox for those who believe their outrage is a virtue.

The view is what anarchy looks like. It is irrational. It is angry, for anger's sake. It is chaos. It rejects respect for any kind of order or law. It is driven by emotion without cause. It willfully lies and misrepresents.
The people on the view deliver no value to society, even when they happen to trip over actual issues that need to be addressed. Their only purpose is to rabble rouse. The rabble bring no solutions to anything. If fact, the response to rioting is often harsh repression without any consideration of underlying issues. The people on the view are thugs that try to beat society into submission.
Eventually, people get fed up with thugs. ABC created this mess and now realized their vicious dog has slipped the leash. When your vicious dog attacks someone, you get held accountable for the injuries it causes. ABC may have to put the view down.

More than being curious about why the 'ladies' of the View behave this way, I am interested in why it is allowed. I am not complaining mind you. The View has been an excellent advertisement for what will happen if you DON'T vote for Trump.

A friend mentioned she had seen on You Tube that Whoopi and Joy lost a lawsuit to Caroline Leavitt and were having to pay $800 million for defamation. Is that true? I googled and didn't see anything.

Harpies indeed. They talk through their bowels. Don't be under them when they let loose!

You could replace each panelist with a 100 pound bag of manure and no one would notice. Except manure actually can be a functional, useful item. Someone has been telling these harpies for way too long that they are so special that no one can tarnish their greatness. I am sure they believe that nothing but intelectual gold pours from their lips. I have never seen the view except when Gutfeld makes fun of them. Nasty, unlikeable, pathetic excuses for women. I cannot imagine listening to their venom everyday. I have been saying take any of these Jewish riots or verbal diatribes and replace the word Jew with Black or the n-word and see how long it is tolerated. They have the right to be disgusting but not the belief to think someone should actually pay them or watch them because they believe they are brilliant.

The opening description is perfect. These women were told they were wonderful, brilliant, incisive, but one has only to listen to Whoopi and the other racists on this show to realize they were sold a bill of goods. Especially Whoopi, whose one achievement as a movie star in one movies made her think she was a wizard. Well, whizzerd is more like it.

I get that 'stars' want to claim forever the limelight. But what eludes me is why anyone actually watches The Harpy Hour - anyone at all.

I have never watched a single episode. What i have seen are hundreds of clips, where they are mocked for their stupidity. In all of their episodes, not one profound thought or observation has ever been delivered.

I know someone who actually watches The View. One day, they said "They tell it like it is." I retorted "No, they tell it like it ain't. That's why they've been sued so many times." I didn't hear a peep after that.

Sure, they're all dumb as fenceposts, but for the most part, they're harmless nitwits.
But that Sunny Hostin ho is downright evil.

Calling these obnoxious harpies "semi-celebrities" is a gross exaggeration.....with the emphasis on gross.

They remind me of a herd of angry hippos fighting in a muddy river.

Never have watched it except for the snippets on gutfeld. I do hope for two things- a perp walk for whoopie (stupidest name ever) and a big $ judgement against the stupidest lawyer on tv, sonny.
