General Days October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 Save us from over-produced opening segments to daytime talk shows. Please don't get me wrong. I am horrified and sick over the mass murder in Las Vegas. What I'm objecting to is the opening montage, replete with maudlin background music, and then prolonged opening shot of the four hosts unlit for a moment, before today's episode even began. It seemed like grief pornography to me. Despite my criticism to some of what they do, I do hold out some hope that Whoopi and Joy will treat this with candor and respect, without going where their producers just did -- probably Sara too, but I'm less certain about Sunny. When she's "on" I appreciate Sunny, but other times she rubs me the wrong way. There's something that strikes me as inauthentic.

And beside that, let's come together and mourn the dead regardless of politics before we start ripping each other again. Expand I'm not as far as you are yet, KLovestoShop, so I haven't heard Joy's comments to which you're objecting. President Obama didn't adopt the pet phraseology of "radical Islamic terrorism," because he wasn't going to buy into the ISIS idea that the West is at war with Islam (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2015/dec/11/war-words-fight-over-radical-islamic-terrorism/). By the way, I think at least some of those attackers in places like France and England, while Muslim (religion), were not Arabs (geology). Joy using the phrase "domestic terrorism" isn't loaded in the same way, imo. That said, it might not be the correct use of the word, definitionally, depending on his motive. Implicit in the word terrorism is a political motive or aim, above and beyond terrifying people with heinous acts. Now that I'm catching up, I see Whoopi doesn't understand the political aspect of the definition of the word, and can't even hear what Sara is saying, as she is trying to explain it. And oh no, they bookended the opening segment with Tom Petty's "Free Falling." Today's production team needs to lay off the emo. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/62149-the-view-week-of-10217/#findComment-3689461

backformore October 4, 2017 Share October 4, 2017 @General Days I have the same reaction. It's not just on The View. Its ok to say someone is beautiful or stunning. But to indicate a sexual attraction is taking it too far, unless you're in a dating situation. Especially in person. Can we praise actors for their acting ability, instead of "hotness?" Our society has done a weird flip-flop on the issue. Shows like DWTS or bachelor shows, have women wearing very revealing clothes, but avoid directly comments on body parts. But men are openly sexualized, mentioning their abs, or hotness, or swooning over a guy taking his shirt off. Telling a woman to show more skin is seen as creepy and sexist, but it's acceptable to do it to men? 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/62149-the-view-week-of-10217/#findComment-3693102
