Ellis Bell Lives

It matters because they edited the clip and intro'd it at a specific point. It matters because Joy loves to tell the audience they are fact-checked by ABC News. It matters because Christie answered the question without having full knowledge of the situation. Sunny had to read a legal note from the Trump campaign, but the co-hosts said nothing to clear up their misrepresentation of the clip. Even Joy said in response to the note, "That's different." No Joy, you just didn't bother to watch the interview. Even Ana added fuel to the fire when she drama qweened about dictators and firing squads. Hyperbole thy name is Ana. It's interesting, they went ballistic over FOX News editing of "the enemy within" yet they have no qualms misrepresenting him when it suits their needs. Is Trump an asshole? Yes. Is Trump dangerous? Yes. But when you mislead the public like this you lose credibility, and you end up diluting just how dangerous he is. People will see this and think the media was once again trying to vilify him. I don't care what side of the aisle people fall on, but I do care when a supposedly reputable news network allows this to go fully unchecked. Sorry but it does matter.

Trump was referring to Cheney as a war hawk and asking how she would feel if she were dropped in a war zone "with a rifle and had nine barrels shooting at her..." For an ABC News Division entity, I'm surprised they were allowed to use this for their opening Hot Topic segment and as misleading as it was why they were not forced to issue a later correction live on-air.

WTF. I watch live each day but for the past few weeks when the warning comes on for the abortion ad, I turn off the tv so I always miss the last segment when they sign off. 'I just read an article where Joy outed Sara live today with her parents in the audience. To repeat something that was said off-air is a betrayal. Sara laughed but you could see her body language become defensive as she crossed her arms over her chest. That's not a cool thing to do Joy. Not at all.

Maybe I misinterpreted his intent, but I assumed Trump's garbage can comment meant he was accusing other countries of using our country as a dumping ground for their criminals and gangs. Decades ago, Castro was accused of emptying his jails and insane asylums then sending them to our shores. Trump's oft-repeated garbage can comment was a direct shot at those entering the country thereby placing all migrants in the same category. Let's just say nuance is not his strong suit. I'm surprised Sunny and the others didn't see it this way.

Why did no one mention the fact Stephen Miller, a Jew, stood at that podium and altered the 1934 Nazi chant to: "America is for Americans and Americans only." For me that was a bone-chilling moment.

So don't say who you're voting for problem solved. A vote used to be a private matter now it's to the point where it's unveiled like some gender reveal party. Keep it to yourself and no, I don't think a celebrity endorsement is the be-all end-all in a political race. I think it actually hurts a politician's chances in many parts of the country. That Joy gushes over celebrity endorsements and actually thinks it helps the candidate just proves she exists in a liberal/celeb NYC bubble

I don't have cable and instead use digital antennas. On my OTA channel WABC is 7-1 and LOCLish is next up at 7-2. It's not 100% but more times than not they will broadcast The View if there is going to be a full pre-emption like today. Try it next time. You may not be grinning ear to ear, but odds are you will be annoyed. So, there's that.

They did the same on WABC NY. When they're pre-empted on their regular channel they usually broadcast from one of their subsidiary channels. I was able to "view" The View on their LOCLish channel during their regular timeslot.

Get the hook, this guy is obnoxious and he's taking over the show.

Alyssa is coming for her critics. Get 'em!

No, I don't believe landlines are their go-to anymore. They text a lot these days. I've received texts addressed to me specifically through my cellphone. You either answer the text or move on with your day.

I think Whoopi was threatened by Sunny's advanced education/degrees and her background as a federal prosecutor. Early on when Sunny would be offering her legal expertise on a certain topic, Whoopi would interrupt her and tell her she was wrong. It was ridiculous and it happened every time Sunny opened her mouth. Sunny politely weathered the storm but has since become insufferable so maybe Whoopi sensed the monster within, lol.

She's signed through next season (28). I remember back when Barbara was still on the show. Many said they liked it when Barbara was off for the day because the co-hosts didn't have to be on their best behavior. I'd kill to have those Barbara-centric episodes back. Look at how Whoopi behaved when Barbara was at the table and look at the way she behaves now. I still can't believe this woman is moderating an "ABC News division" telecast. Maybe she can become licensed to sell health insurance. Or maybe she shouldn't set her sights so high. Speaking of high she does have her family business to fall back on. Nothing says I love you like naming your new cannabis brand Emma & Clyde after your deceased mother and brother. On that note maybe she can write greeting cards.

Alyssa has endorsed Kamala and was in Pennsylvania last week campaigning with Liz Cheney and a few former Trump staffers on her behalf. Alyssa and Sara are not the problem. They invite open discourse at the table. Sunny, Joy and Whoopi consistently shut down any and all critical questions directed at the Biden administration. Every time Alyssa brings up bread and butter issues Joy and the other two quickly shut her down listing other accomplishments which have nothing to do with top voter concerns such as inflation and immigration. Sunny is the problem in the sense she does nothing but wax poetic about "Madame Vice President." Today she was saying she has run a flawless campaign. She doesn't want to hear any constructive criticism about Kamala and is so extremely rigid in her views and beliefs in general she refuses to hear alternate opinions. ' I get the impression those who refuse to view both sides of an issue consider themselves loyal to their party and if anyone dare say anything that doesn't fall in line with their party's platform, they're traitors to the cause. No, they're just two sides of the same coin.

Today's ep brought to you by Sominex. Disjointed and boring.
