This might be why if Whoopi felt threatened because of the GMA angle. Yes exactly that and they wanted to move both of them back to GMA once they got Meghan & Abby. It seems like Sara Haines new show was in the works for a couple years because the GMA Day or whatever is called now, Michael Strahan was gonna get his own show after he left Live! and Michael wanted Sara on the show. The only thing that stood out was a quote from Whoopi "Paula is not a journalist, Barbara Walter is a journalist" thats the only shady thing I read. I agree with you Whoopi is not GMA type host. 2 Link to comment
TheView April 10, 2019 Share April 10, 2019 If you had to choose between Rachel Campos-Duffy and Meghan, which would you hate more? Rachel tried when Debbie left and when Lisa left. 2 Link to comment
bannana April 11, 2019 Share April 11, 2019 BaWa may be considered a journalist, but there is a lot to criticize over her career, and her "journalism". Yes, as a woman, she was a trailblazer. There is that. I would not hold her up as the feminist icon. People believe she was the only one, but there were many others. Who were actual reporters and journalists. Not sure why Whoopi would say Paula is not a journalist, and BaWa is. 9 Link to comment

Co-anchor Harry Reasoner, who co-founded 60 Minutes FFS, could not stand her because of her fluff status and walked away after a couple of years.

It was either some anniversary or other for Bawa. So when I read things in links or whatever that Bawa and Joy didn't get along, etc., I don't know what to believe. What I saw with my eyes?

TheGreenKnight April 12, 2019 Share April 12, 2019 Yeah, I think it was after it was already announced Joy was leaving and Barbara would be retiring a the end of the following year that Joy said that.

I can't think of the reference off-hand but there's a verse in the New Testament that says "we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and...." (I don't remember the rest.) I'm an atheist but this is my guess: Quote Matthew 26:40-41 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” "A statement of the difficulty in living up to the high moral standards that one has set oneself.

The scripture you quoted didn't get included in the quote, but that's basically it. Bitsy was saying it was a spiritual battle for her, rather than a physical one. Which? No shit, Sherlock (Bitsy, not you, suomi.) Cursing isn't a physical battle. It's a mental one. 5 Link to comment

Meredith comes off very well, along with Joy. With Rosie, I just kind of shake my head. I remember from that lawsuit she had with McCall's in the early 2000s where it came out that she would just say horrible things to the people working under her, so it wasn't surprising to read that she had not changed. It's an interesting situation. She obviously is very good at connecting with people, and has good instincts in terms of knowing what a daytime audience would want from a show, but she's also kind of a monster. It also boggled my mind that the producers had no idea how controversial their hire of Jenny McCarthy would be. 2 4 Link to comment

General Days June 3, 2019 Share June 3, 2019 (edited) I'm importing this conversation from the weekly show thread. The conversation began, because most of today's episode of The View was preempted, in my market, for local coverage of a preliminary hearing regarding the upcoming trial of actor Kevin Spacey, who is accused of sexual assault and battery on an 18-year-old man at a Nantucket restaurant or club. 35 minutes ago, RedheadZombie said: I sympathize with you, but I’m here for a predator being held accountable. I hope I never said anything which could indicate that I'm not for predators being held accountable. That said, I don't want to watch what was nothing more than sensationalism. They can show the newsworthy moments on this show they have, called "the news." Local news on this particular channel airs from 4:30am to 7:00am, 12:00pm to 12:30pm, 4:00pm to 6:30pm and 11:00pm to 11:35pm. This wasn't: there's a gunman on the loose, or a snowpocalypse coming, or a deadly car fire on the interstate news, which people need to know about as it happens. This was a preliminary hearing at which Spacey didn't have to and wasn't expected to appear. He must miss the cameras, so they gave him what he wanted -- attention. And the first 10 minutes or so wasn't even the hearing. It was just live footage of him and counsel sitting in court, while a reporter rehashed everything he could think of, because he was put on live to talk about something that hadn't yet happened.

Is she the official spokesperson for the entire family? I just don't get why more of them aren't angry and pushing back against the attacks against their Dad.

deirdra June 5, 2019 Share June 5, 2019 (edited) I suspect her siblings are living their lives and are not attention hogs like Meghan. Trump says weird, disrespectful things every single day and the best way to deal with him is to ignore him so he moves on to something else. He forgets things he says or tweets immediately. Meghan's ranting and screeching does nothing to affect how people feel about her father, it just makes her look unhinged and stupid. Edited June 5, 2019 by deirdra 9 Link to comment
