What can you expect, Along with Walters (ex news anchor) comedian Joy Behar, actress/comedian Sherri Shepherd and designer and former Survivor: The Australian Outback participant Elisabeth Hasselbeck along with Whoopie Going to leave america if bush gets elected goldberg, you have nothing but a panel of media whores and entertainers AKA mini me of hollywood trying to discuss topics that require intellegence and critical thought and reasoning. Not possible for at least 4 of the 5.
Barbara Walters ought to know better, she knows that these topics require research and skills that are not afforded to comedians and actresses.
Ohhhh people are furious all right...
But She and people like her will never have a clue as to the WHY... >:(
Frankly, I never watch that show but it seems to have a large following. I wonder why? Just food for thought perhaps?
Who are you calling a dumb broad? The woman on the video who is quoting someone else or the person she is quoting? Granted she is a Democrat and she does side with Democrats, but she is only quoting someone else who is blaming the Republicans. As to what these women know about current events, they have all kinds of people to do the research and provide them with the facts. They don't have to do it themselves. I think they provide a pretty good view of the situation since they don't always agree. They don't often agree.
There is enough blame for the mess to go around but belongs to BP, they got away with shortcuts the federal inspectors gave them the ROOM to get away with..... but they TOOK the shortcuts......BP needs to take care of the problem and they should get it done YESterday.
Cheney is behind deregulation yeah.......but again..... BP took advantage of it.

Thats the problem wilma, They only say what their told to say. Others do the "research" and these gals are paid to just parrot the results. Seen a lot of men and women in the industry do it too. And the ones that are on there, only 1 has enough sense to even contemplate researching anything, and barbara doesn't come on all the time.
IF this show was about intellegent conversations, why then don't they get Condoleza rice on the show, how about Michelle Malkin, or Michele Bachmann. No you won't see these intelligent women on the show, what you get is whoopie and rosie and the likes of them.
What do you think the purpose of this show is? Are they doing it for the entertainment value or the intellectual value? And why do you think the show has run as long as it has?

If it was entertainment then why discuss events like that? Thats not entertainment. Secondly they are not doing it for intellectual value either. IF they were, then there would be some intellegent research done, instead of relying on someone to go on the internet and pull some information that supports your opinion. Shrug. If it was intellegent, they would show all sides.
Last of all, who knows why it has run for so long. WHy in the world does anyone watch tv today in the first place. Nothing intellegent on there to begin with!
But you are still watching it, aren't you? My show of choice tonight is the Lakers/Suns.
We're watching KC and Boston.
Jim's a Yankees fan, so naturally he's rooting for KC. :D

No i'm not. I don't own a tv. I don't even have a radio.
Do you channel through your old cow or how do you know what's on TV in order to have an opinion?
My thoughts exactly. When was the last time you watched these ladies that you are criticizing? Their credentials in show business are tremendous. Note I said show business, not newscasting.

Then why are they trying to be newscasters? As far as show business credentials, Give me some actors like hepburn, or bogart, and comedian like bill cosby. Now those are amazing credentials.

yeah i stick rabbit ears on her and read the patties as they come out.
I haven't had a tv since 2005 i think. might have been 2006. Used to have a ex that sat in front of it hours at a time watching the oprah man hating show, and various other meaningless shows. Used to shell out the 39.95 for the worthless satellite access, 100 channels of mind numbing blather that is piped in.
I think when i actually watched it, i watched news, Discovery and History channel. Saw the veiw on my way through the house to the shop when she was watching that garbage. Didn't take long to see that the View was nothing more than a tv version of air america full of leftist, liberal, and mostly people who had no clue as to what they were talking about. sure they have an opinion but not one of their own.
The reason i don't have a tv now? Like i said before, its mind numbing, drivel that is sold to a public that is addicted to this slop. I mean come on. Whats on tv these days. 90% of the shows are "reality" shows. Reality my foot! You want reality, come live and work on a farm for 1 week. thats reality. What does these shows promote? Do they promote
what is true, things that are honest, things that are just, pure, lovely, or things that of good report.
Is there any integrity in it?
It is quite obvious that you have not watched the View or these ladies. Therefore you do not know what you are talking about. Please do not put your drivel out here for people that have watched the show and know what is going on with it to have to read. Personally, I do watch the show most of the time. I do find that these ladies cover topics that are not ordinarily touched on and whether it is their opinion or not, it is the facts. Not all their topics are current events or political.
Warph, who are calling a "Dumb Broad"?
Could it be that we don't need a television because we can watch it on the net?

What facts!?? Please inform us as to what facts she was using.
I dont' see any facts. WHat i saw was a ESSAY that lawrence wilkerson wrote, espousing his opinion, not fact that dick cheney is destroying his party. She jumped on a opinion that was written. The essay can be found on a political commentators blog, not FACT but OPINION.
Like Warph said the broad is not the brightest bulb in a pack. She used a opinion to support her rant about a accident that happened. Why is it that the left has to assign blame to the political figures or someone else besides the person or persons that are to blame. Sheesh.
I still think if their entertainers that they need to stay out of serious discussions as they aren't equipped to carry on those discussions.

No not at all. Though i do like that idea that I can access some things without having to pay for the rest of the drivel.
But to pay for tv??? Not worth wasting the money.
Srkruzich, I'm with you as there's not much need for a tv as it's just about worthless even when it's free.
I missed that particular show so I don't know what led up to the clip or what followed it. And I don't see how anyone else that didn't see the whole thing can comment on it. I do know that Joy Behar is a comedian and can turn a situation into a funny situation, which is what she might have been doing. "The View" is not a news show. It is entertainment. The fact that they touch on current events, otherwise known as news, is because some people, like me, get more out of their interviews with quests who do know what they are talking about, than I do from the countless news commentators who repeat and repeat and find it necessary to add to the original story when they don't actually have anything new to add. When the ladies on the View express an opinion, it usually turns out to be true. And if they find that it isn't true, they say so. And they are not afraid to talk about social problems that other shows won't touch.
This is going to sound ornery and I don't intend it to be, but a lot of what gets copied and posted on this forum from a couple of regular political posters is full of blame and name calling, often forwarded from acknowledged far right writers who have plenty of blame to assign in every article. Both sides do it to my dismay. One side's foul mouth is more righteous than the other's? Both sides use opinions, often not supported by anything substantial, happens a lot. Entertainers didn't give up their citizenship to be on TV....Ronald Reagan, Sonny Bono, Fred Thompson, Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Fred Grandy, and a number of others have done service in politics. So What? Who is Rush and similar if not "entertainers?" Their main agenda is to fill their time slot and keep their bosses and sponsors happy.
As far as anything worth watching on TV....I find plenty. The local news of course, CNN and FOX, MSNBC, the stock market, Masterpiece Theater, good blues, jazz and concerts on PBS, Mystery, Discovery, History, Animal Planet, Turner Classic Movies,The Outdoor Channel, rodeos and bull riding, HBO, Starz, Showtime, Hallmark and similar and some sports. Al really likes the Military Channel and the comedy channel too. I must admit most of the reality type shows are lost on me but I do some times watch the Amazing Race. I love CSI, NCIS, and all the Law and Order series. I'm totally stuck on East Enders and the Sunday night Silent movies. We don't watch all of these all the time, but I find plenty to watch that won't drop my IQ too much.

Well i have done more since i haven't had a tv than i ever did with one. When i was able to work, i used to work 12 -16 hour days and come home and park my butt in the chair and watch a hour or two depending on how tired i was, and then go to bed. Waste of time. Now i work and do hobbies and am able to be more productive and creative and use my mind for something other than being numbed by a bunch of stuff. I learn more and teach myself new things easier, faster cause i am not wasting my time, i do watch movies from time to time. But i watch them on my computer on a dvd.
for one reason i don't have to watch those idiotic commercials. Another is that i can stop it at any point and resume it later on.
As far as opinions thats cool. I find that more research is done by users on here than those on the view or other shows like that before expressing ones opinion.
The woman in question on that segment expressed a opinion based on a essay written about cheny and the essay didn't even have much to do with him deregulating, it was a attack on cheny in all the things he was in during the administration. It had 1 paragraph about the oil deregulation and didn't go into specifics. So this woman deduced from 1 paragraph that its all cheneys fault that this oil spill occured only beause cheney was associated with halliburton.
I watched that segment. I even researched it a bit looking for the specific article that she had in front of her. I found it and read it. It had no facts, only conjecture.
i've seen more facts given by jerry in one of his arguments than what this woman gave or based her opinion on.
TV, like most tools, it matters how you use it. I find it verry usefull , if nothing good is on, i can find some work to do.
Even puttering is better than TV or work sometimes.
The woman on the View did not express an opinion, she was quoting someone else's opinion. Did you miss the part where she said, "And I quote"? Or did I miss where she said "Unquote". Why are you judging her for someone else's words?
Like Diane, I find plenty on TV to watch that doesn't downgrade my intellect. Especially the reality shows called basketball. What is more real than the series that is being played live on TNT now?

Her opinion and i quote "he was in bed with those halliburton people and thats why we are in this mess. People should be furious". Thats a opinion and its based on a opinion not facts.
Wilma, come on, be reasonable... gee whiz.... Steve is correct when he says: 'Her opinion and i quote "he was in bed with those halliburton people and thats why we are in this mess. People should be furious". Thats a opinion and its based on (her) a opinion not facts.' We all know she is an over-opinionated oaf. Joy Behar is known for purveying hate, who revels in the mass loathing she herself inspires, a delight so aberrational as to invite speculation that she may in fact be an alien life-form. She's not called the "Female Bill Maher" for nothing. Can you believe this nut case used to be a english school teacher who now talks like a union head-cracker? Poor kids will probably be screwed up for life. She is a goofy italian who doesn't believe in God and who wants to be jewish. Her first husband was jewish, who said, btw, that he was lucky to get out of the marriage with his life, .... and she is again involved with another jew. I know, I know.... we jews are fickle. I remember Rosa Gonetti who was a crazy red headed italian who... uh... never mind, thats another story. Look... Behar's one who can throw the jokes out, but can't take one thrown back at her. Behar, in a word is, pa-the-tic.
Also... also, you can add to that list of empty headed female alien life-forms, the Today Show "If Ann Curry says that Kansas is Illinois, then she correct" cast; Diane "Yes, I'm a liberal" Sawyer; The View cast especially Whoopi "I'm not jewish" GOLDBERG; Jane "I'm a lesbian, RU" Velez-Mitchell and Nancy "I luv my 2 ugly babies" Grace and the big one, the really big one, all 300 lbs. of her, "HarpO" when spelled backwards means: Man, I'm hungry... I just ate Stedman! Give me Sponge Bob Square Pants and Pee Wee Herman any day for entertainment.
And I agree with you 100% when you said: I find plenty on TV to watch that doesn't downgrade my intellect. Especially the reality shows called basketball. What is more real than the series that is being played live on TNT now?"
And what a series the Sun's & Laker's has turned out to be. Last night was a heartbreaker in the last 3 seconds for the Sun's. Lord, what a finish. I'm glad my TV still works. Suns have to win the next two or it's all over but the shouting.
Warph, I can't agree with you on anything except your last paragraph. Heaven forbid that anything happens that I can't watch tomorrow night. This is basketball at it's best.
