Miss Slay November 1, 2017 Share November 1, 2017 The more I watch Meghan "Nepotism" McCain the more I dislike her on this show. While nepotism is rampant in the news industry (Hello NBC) I feel that it is too bad that the View has gone this route. I've always believed that even very famous people have a conflict of interest with this sort of show because their friends tend to be the "hot topics". But, like i've stated many times on this board, the premise of the show is 5 different women of different ages. More importantly, the idea is a group of friends discussing the days events. Watching Meghan is like watching crossfire. She has made no effort to be friendly toward the other women and cultivate a relationship with them. And why does she think she's an expert on politics? She isn't more informed than Joy or Sunny! I suppose I find her particularly annoying because I don't believe that she is a conservative. I remember when John McCain ran for president in 2008. Meghan made huge proclamation where she announced that she was joining the Republican Party in honor of her father. She discussed the fact that she didn't agree with a lot of Republican policies and was liberal on social issues. She was a surrogate for her father trying to get young people into his campaign (as most young people were in the Obama camp). When President Obama won - Fox news did a couple of stories on Meghan because she made some controversial statements. The conventional wisdom was that she missed the attention she got when she was on the campaign and was trying to extend her exposure. So color me surprised when, 8 years later, Meghan decided to cash in a Republican pundit. I suppose it's quite a lucrative career - spouting Republican talking points- but i believe that's why it sounds so rehearsed - because it is not genuine. I feel sorry that Jedidiah (sp?) who I do believe really had conservative view points was booted from the show. And I think it's too bad that the precedent that the View is starting. And mostly, I don't like how she treats Sunny. She always cuts her off and doesn't let her finish her point. 16 Link to comment
Catnip November 1, 2017 Share November 1, 2017 I have a question -- supposedly one of the contractual conditions Whoopi demanded this year was a position of executive producer. Does anyone know if she is? I can't find anything on google and never remember to read the closing credits. Link to comment

She was having so many pauses and stumbles, I was wondering if she was about to have her own Wendy Williams moment. I only watched till the 1st commercial break, or maybe the 2nd, but when she was reading the cue card, which was in her hand, she held it over to Sara to read a number for her. I know she has dyslexia, but is it getting worse?

Lee, MM was once again trying to school them, saying that this is Trump's brilliant strategy to throw red meat to the base. She's not wrong, but she should drop the daily schooling. And, the point the others were making is you cannot ignore these distractions either, and what they didn't say is, by discussing the facts, they may be schooling some of their viewers. Too bad Whoopi is so inarticulate and also has to hog the entire conversation. I would have more respect for MM if she called the Trump base out for taking the red meat bait and allowing themselves to conned by it. I would like it if she questioned why Trump supporters are willing to ignore the fact they are being conned all because of "party unity". MM's father and several other Republicans have called out 45 on his "red meat" game. MM could still be a conservative voice without defending the Trumpster talking points. I think she would be more successful and earn respect if she did. 11 Link to comment

Sunny should do exactly what she did today - keep it light, brush it off and don't take the bait because you know it's killing Whoopi even more. Megsplanation of the day: "Obama and the progressive world leaders who wanted open borders all got voted out". Where do I even begin with how absurd and inaccurate that is?

CheezyXpressed November 1, 2017 Share November 1, 2017 I liked that Sunny and Whoopi were both trying to explain the hypocrisy when a Muslim does something (and it's usually one who isn't practicing) and a white guy. Terrorism is terrorism, except if you're white which is a huge problem. It's the same thing with the African American community too, if a cop kills someone people want to focus on other things but if a black guy kills a cop then we just need to look at this issue and nothing else. It also ties into their political correctness topic, because those that keep talking about how we have too much political correctness are those who come from privileged and those marginalized are saying, "No no." Whoopi was rude with the rolling eyes thing. 8 Link to comment

Plus, she's the ONLY legal BRAIN on this panel.

Nicolle Wallace was out of her element when they had the pop culture conversations, but she was often the only person at the table who had worked at the White House! I don't know what they were thinking when they replaced her with DJ Tanner. Rep. Jackie Speier has a hell of a back story -- the woman was shot at Jamestown!

I'd just joke and say, "Did you just hit me?" She'd say, "I tapped you." I'd say, "It HURT!" This went on for over 50 years. She met a woman and they became friends and the woman complained only three or four times and all "friend hitting" stopped.

backformore November 2, 2017 Share November 2, 2017 Political correctness silences discussions? First - it's a survey, so show me the details, the exact question, who was polled, and the possible answers. Second - NO, Meghan, being politically correct is not the same thing as someone saying they are conservative but want to be private about their beliefs. Now, if someone says they're RACIST, but don't want anyone to know - yeah, PC has silenced their ability to be openly racist. When I was a kid, (1960s, 70s) Halloween costumes included "Indian", "Chinaman" and "Mexican". yes, those are offensive, and yes, we need to be PC and not dress kids up as ethnicities. Kids also dress as "bums", which is basically dressing as a homeless person. yes, that is offensive. PC also means not using racial and ethnic slurs - it means teaching kids not to use "gay" as an insult, not to use language or actions that denigrate groups of people. It doesn't silence discussions to be respectful of others' feelings. The topic of post-wedding blues was interesting, even though Whoopi made faces and was disdainful of the topic. Some couples these days spend 2 years planning every detail of their weddings, obsessing over it to the point that it's all they think about. So many "things" have been added to weddings these days, that people didn't used to do - elaborate tastings to plan the menus, destination bachelor/ette parties, professional makeup artists for the entire bridal party, and 3- 4 days of back-to-back wedding festivities surrounding the wedding day.

GHScorpiosRule November 2, 2017 Share November 2, 2017 I don't think there's a need to come up with a witty turn on Meghan's name for her own thread. I think just using a phrase she uses repeatedly would suffice, like the one I came up with for Joy. Though I really do miss her "So whaaat? Who caaares?" I didn't know about how "red meat" was used on other shows, and was going to snark on it--about adding it to her list of buzz words, like Tribal, culture wars, etc. And the way she used it made no fucking sense. She was using "red meat" to describe the "heart" or reason for the shooting? Da fuck now? It comes across as her wanting to sound more intellectual or smarter than she actually is to me. And sorry, but I have to disagree with both Whoopi and Sunny that the mass murders/terrorist attack in New York this week was "the worst since 9/11." Since both have been calling the mass murders in Florida, Charleston and Vegas terrorism, I'd say the one in Vegas has been the worst since 9/11 on U.S. soil. Unless they mean a terrorist attack by someone who is not White? I was really enjoying Rep. Spiers' interview, but then had to roll my eyes when Meghan got her turn to ask a question. Damn, did she pivot? She pivoted! The subject was about sexual harassment, and she jumps to Russia! Did the producers not give her a question to ask? I don't know about anyone else, but the news that she was harassed, or that it happens on the Hill, wasn't a surprise. For years now, Senator Gillibrand has alluded to being harassed, but would never name names because she wanted to focus on the work. I can't recall her exact reason for not naming them--it was during an interview with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show during his last season. And yeah, Sunny may say she didn't roll her eyes at Whoopi, but she did. BUT, I don't blame her! She had every right to roll them, when Whoopi went on about how Lee was "an honorable man." He wasn't. He was horrible. And him stating that he didn't want any statues of him put up after the war doesn't make him likeable to me. And really, it was all due to the Jim Crow era that all these monuments of Confederates started being erected--not after the War, certainly. Meghan seriously needs to sit her ass down and get a dictionary to learn what Political Correctness is. Or isn't. Oh, and though I am not Muslim, I do know what "Allah Hu Akbar means." It's not a war cry; or a shout that means "death to infidels." It means "God is great." That phrase is used in ALL different situations. The fanatics just twist it and use it for their own fanaticism. Just like every other fanatic of any other religion. JEEBUS CRIPES. 10 Link to comment

I live in the NYC area, the local news station were incessantly calling the most recent terror attack the worst terror attack since 9/11 in NYC. Perhaps Sunny and Whoopi had heard it many times. 3 Link to comment
HoboClayton November 2, 2017 Share November 2, 2017 Political correctness is bullshit. It's all about the feels, and not at all about the substance or consequences. 3 Link to comment

I wish they would take the weddings down a notch. Trust me, your guests won't remember all your little details. Personally, I go to weddings for the food. Congresswoman Wilson tried to tear her a new one, but just came off as a raving lunatic. Meghan showed incredible restraint and was completely professional in her reaction to the congresswoman's highly inappropriate action. 2 Link to comment
atlantaloves November 2, 2017 Share November 2, 2017 Can I just be a bitch and say that Megan's hair is butt ugly...what is wrong with her. My God, that nasty mess hurt my eyeballs yesterday. Seriously that dried out (and now it is curly) pile of dung was making me vomit. Okay, I feel better now. I hate her. Snort. 4 Link to comment
