"The View": Week Of 10/15/2018

[merriebreeze]

I see that Meghan has jumped on the "Jim Acosta is bad" bandwagon. That's a dangerous meme Trump is promoting. Just last night at the Montana rally this happened:

Quote

Jim Acosta tweets:

The disturbing part of Trump’s jokes about Gianforte was the effect on the crowd. I saw one young man in the crowd making body slam gestures. He looked at me and ran his thumb across his throat. I talked to him after the rally was over. He couldn’t stop laughing. 

Singling out reporters by name just might encourage some unhinged person to go after them physically.

Was Meghan "I like to use the term crooked Hillary" McCain trying to give a lecture about not going in the gutter with trump today?

Also the same person who said she "hates" Hillary. 

I love that Sunny and Don are good friends. I loveeee me some Don Lemon, he cracks me up.

[Cementhead]

The colour scheme chosen for the 'Happy Birthday, Sunny' graphic is totally making me want some of these

[Bronzedog]

I’m glad Sunny is having a good birthday, but, this is boring.

[Jpxfactor]

What a snooze fest.  Birthday shows are so vain..who fling cares.

I understand a segment dedicated to the host and their birthday but nearly an entire show? It's too much. 

[fatewemake]

If Meghan had a birthday show and it lasted that long (basically the entire show) showing it to someone would be the perfect torture device.

It took me a while to warm up to Don Lemon. He used to say things about the Black community that pissed me off. He even had Bill O'Reilly of Fox News singing his praises because Don's insensitive comments validated  Bill's racist views about Black people.

He has. Plus, he is so damn handsome and looks so young.  He is 52 years old and he looks 35.  He loves his mom and she is his hero and it so heartening to see.

Meghan's father was a Senator and has been in politics her whole life.  Shouldn't she know "Congresspeople" independent of her husband?  I haven't watched the show so I'm going to need some context for  her remark.

Why is someone who's been in politics their whole life using the word "congresspeople"  and not MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, which is how they're address as a group.

Because she’s an ignorant clueless ignoranamus maroon. And a nimrodic twat.

[General Days]

Oh my goodness.

Meghan must be feeling better. She's in peak Whataboutism form today, and Abby is her backup singer.

 Trump, who has repeatedly called the press the enemy of the people, has been lying about and then brushing off the brutal murder of a Washington Post reporter who was a US resident and is the father of US citizens. That was the topic of conversation, and then McCan't made this pivot.

 

Quote

 

MEGHAN: But when we're talking about freedom of press in this country, in particular, Jamal Khashoggi was a Saudi dissident who was doing the Lord's work, trying to get real news stories out of a -- to put it lightly, uh, you know -- horrific nation that does things like this to people who speak out. And I do think it's incredibly tone-deaf at this moment to be advocating towards (sic) any violence against journalists whatsoever, especially given that it -- look what can happen -- if you decide to actually take that on. That being said, yesterday, Jim Acosta, who works for CNN, uh direct messaged a former Trump suppor-porter in a Twitter message saying, "Blank you," to Justin Caporale [ed. note: McCan't pronounced this like "corporal," but you say it cap-or-AH-lay] who's the former Director of Operations for Melania Trump. So, I hold everyone to a standard -- the president and the press. Let's rise above this. We're at a tone in this country. Let's be respectful. I don't think that helps anything.

SUNNY (who tried to cut in before MM's last sentence): I will say this about Jim Acosta--

JOY: Are you equating Trump with, who can't lead, can't govern, who only [ed. note: MM starts interrupting and it's hard to make out the words] who only spews hate-speech with the press?

MEGHAN: No, but I'm saying when there's an anger towards the press -- which there is, with a lot of conservatives and Republicans -- 

JOY: Yeah?

MEGHAN: But on the other side, the press also has to -- I'm sorry but you know, Edward R. Murrow probably wouldn't be saying, "Blank you," to someone in a direct message.

JOY: He didn't have a president who was like this.

SUNNY: [while Meghan was interrupting, Sunny tried to say something like, "I do want to say Jim Acosta"]

MEGHAN: I'm not equating it it. I'm saying--

SUNNY: Jim Acosta is a friend of mine. So let me say this. That was out of character for him. He has apologized for it, but let's remember that Jim Acosta's the same person that's been covering Trump and the campaign, and had death threats directed at him. He's also had, you know, people chanting in his face, "CNN sucks!" My good friend, Don Lemon, has had death threats -- uh blamed a lot of the Trump um rallies and sort of that fervor on the death threats against a lot of CNN reporters in Atlanta. My colleagues -- my former colleagues are afraid to go to work, so I think the tone comes from the top. I don't recall a time when we heard this kind of attack on freedom of the press, on our First Amendment, and I think it started with this president.

MEGHAN [cross-talk with Joy]: I--

JOY [cross-talk with Meghan]: Nixon was good at it too.

MEGHAN: Yeah that's true. Sunny, I know you. I know you. You're also a journalist. You wouldn't do that.

SUNNY: No, I wouldn't.

MEGHAN: You would not. So there are standards. 

SUNNY [cross-talk with Joy]: I may want to, but I wouldn't.

JOY [cross-talk with Sunny]: (Something) the guy -- you know, if you push somebody to the wall, they're going to react.

MEGHAN: I'm just think that I'm trying-I'm really trying right now, to hold myself to the stame (sic) standards that I would hope that would be in the spirit of where I come from, and the family I come from, and I hope across the board, the Trumps could maybe just take a beat, when one of our journalists has been slaughtered, in the Middle East...

SUNNY [talking over Meghan]: Yeah

JOY [interjecting, because how the heck else can anyone get a word in edgewise]: They can't because it works for their base. It works for them. That's why he won't take a beat. 

MEGHAN [talking over Joy]: I'm not--

SUNNY [interjecting]: But why do they believe him? Why do they--

ABBY [interrupting, but I can't criticize her for trying to be part of the show]: (something maybe about 'across the board') I do think, today, more journalists are making the stories about themselves, and they're saying things, and they get away with things that to Meghan's point, they never would have...

JOY (softly): Ugh

ABBY [continuing]: ...years ago, and so it starts from the top, right? The fish stinks from the head on down...

JOY [interjecting]: Yeah. Thank you.

ABBY: And so their leadership matters, but at the same time, I think the media does play a role today, and doesn't make things better. They make it about themselves.

MEGHAN [cross-talk with Joy]: (unintelligible)... lead

JOY [cross-talk with Meghan]: (unintelligible)... he's saying the press is lying, that the press is the enemy of the people. What do you expect the press to do?

MEGHAN [interrupting]: But if he's not going to lead...

JOY [continuing]: They're not saints. They're just journalists.

MEGHAN: So he's not going to lead. So, we're almost two years into this administration. We hold ourselves accountable. We're television commentators, (gestures toward Sunny) journalists as well. I just think that if he can't do it, and he can't be the example, we have to be the example that we don't have.

JOY: Okay. Let's -- well, when we come back, maybe we'll talk about the fact that one of the people running for the Senate tried it, and it didn't work, you're right. We'll be right back with more Hot Topics.

 

 

I started watching the show basically on time. It's now 12:45pm, and I've gotten eight minutes in. (I did stop to make more coffee, eat a banana, and do a hasty proofread.) 

Meghan is such a phony with her tone comments. I'm pretty sure I could go to her Twitter page and find her telling a bunch of people to eff off, and not in direct messages. 

 

Don't tell me you've never told anyone to eff off, Meghan, and don't start citing your family as some bastion of civilized speech. Your dad is the guy that altered the old song "Barbara Ann" to "Bomb Iran," and let plenty of F-bombs fly, face-to-face with a female reporter on camera. 

 

 

TO OUR MODS: I know this isn't a forum about John McCain or politics. I'm saying this to dispute Meghan's claim of her family's standards that she made today on The View.

I didn't faint when the late senator used profanity. I object to MM using The View to perpetrate this kind of whataboutism, and then lying about her family's language standards as she stakes her claim.

I don't mind when people alter old male forms of words to be gender inclusive. Congresspeople, congresswomen, and congresswoman are fine by me. I'm tired of congressman and congressmen. It reinforces the idea that it's man's work only.

I can't remember who it was, but there is/was a female member of Congress who wanted to be called congressman. She might have been the same twit who also wanted to take the vote away from women (and I mean this happened sometime in most of our lifetimes). 

[bannana]

Thank you @General Days for laying out the absurdity of Meggie's argument today.  The topic was how Trump was commending a politician who physically assaulted a reporter, and I believe he actually faced charges over that, while violence against the media is a real and dangerous thing.  How Meggie sees that as comparable to Acosta dm'ing someone, Fuck You, I don't know.

I'm kind of surprised that Meghan didn't use today as an excuse to tell us how her father celebrated his 50th birthday.

1.   I do NOT like Sunny's dress...ugly, ugly.

2.   She's looking more like Wendy Williams every day. 

3.   Adding...7min later.  I don't dislike Sunny, but I've never appreciated her.  I'm watching the various accolades (and offered part in "Power").  I think I DO dislike her.  Needing TOO MUCH...of everything. How tiring to be her friend or family.

I know, but at some point, all words are made up. I have a weird mixed prescriptivist + descriptivist philosophy of language. I probably would have said, "congressional reps" myself, but when people err in one way or another (form or function) it's refreshing to see them do so in favor of inclusivity.

These posts my have been inspired by an exhausting campaign in our town to change the term for our representatives. The old word ended in "man," and man, did I learn how many of my neighbors etc are sexist assholes. You'd have thought the campaign was trying to castrate every local male politician and that no one had daughters.

Ugh! The birthdays are too much. They overdo it. I can't remember. Do they do this big of a deal with every birthday, or is it usually more subdued unless it's a significant number? It seems to me Sara had a big celebration too, but I could be confusing that with a shower, or it could have been for her 40th. Either way, it's getting old. 

I just hope Meghan's doesn't turn into a grief therapy session. If the show wasn't on in the morning, I'd propose some sort of drinking game.

Me either.  I much preferred it when the absent panel member wasn't announced at the opening.

I actually thought Sunny's celebration today was one of the better ones they've had.  The segment with the judge was interesting and funny.  It was nice to see Manny and the kids since she speaks of them so often.  Her daughter is a real mini-me with her mannerisms, especially the way she laughs.  Gabe is a cutie.

Thanks for the heads up on MM's birthday.  That might be one to miss b/c I imagine she'll be in her happy-screechy mode, with mouth wide open, and that's pretty unbearable, IMO.

Then - GAHHHHHH.  We're coming up on Halloween soon, and that's their worst show of the year.  Just.hate.it.  Good time to rake the leaves.

And since Meghan opened the door about living up to her family's standards, that would include mocking a child's appearance, simply because you don't like her parents, and implying a woman is a man because she doesn't meet your standard of feminity. I won't even start on stealing drugs from the less fortunate, etc.

[TheView]

Meghan said that Nikki Haley would be her dream guest for her birthday show 

[Bronzedog]

Every time they do a birthday show I'm reminded of poor Sara's birthday.  First, her big surprise was that her husband and son, who she had just left at home, were there, then Jedi announced it was her last day so everyone was kinda surly, and, the big finale was everyone else leaving the stage while Sara closed the show with View Your Deal.  Good times!

 I dread Meghan's birthday.  Her first since the death of Saint John.  Sorry if you hadn't heard that Senator McCain had died.  But, it's true.  He's dead.  Meghan has lost her father.  She is 1/2 of an orphan.  Maybe she'll mention it.

Edited October 19, 2018 by Bronzedog

[RHJunkie]

Sunny's got a beautiful family and good God she wears 50 well. She looks incredible. 

The moment Meghan started acknowledging something bad Trump did, I just KNEW she was going to follow it up with something a Democrat said. A Democrat journalist saying F U to someone from the Trump administration is FAR less severe than a Fox news person accusing mass shooting victims of being paid actors yet THAT was the example Meghan used of journalists stooping below the dignity of their job. She doesn't hold everyone to the same standard because if she did, she would recognize that tweeting F U to someone is not even the same stratosphere as someone of a high authority making light and condoning physical violence against the press. Consistent and fair my ass. If you aren't equating it then why are you saying it to begin with? Don't bring up examples unless they make sense to the conversation you simpleton. I did really like her look today. The pattern looked great on her and I think she should do belted looks more often. I thought she pulled it off great. 

I really liked that they tied so much of Sunny into the show. Enjoyed her segment with her former boss and co-worker. 

[TheGreenKnight]

I noticed they didn't talk about Beto O'Rourke today as advertised after Joy handed Meh-gun her ass on a platter for elevating Jim Acosta to the same level as a president--on top of McCain trying unsuccessfully to re-write recent history when Trump began this game by egging on violence, vitriol, and death threats against journalists everywhere in this country. Call out your own party first, Meh-gun, then you can lecture other people on civility and "standards" you clearly don't have.

Birthday shows are boring--and in the case of Meh-gun's and Whoopi's birthday specials, unbearable--but I liked that Sunny was given a cameo on one of her favorite shows. I've watched in a disinterested way this past week. The only thing that comes to mind that I remember was how hot DJ from Roseanne got at some point. I never expected that. Everything else (Abby talking about a friend who was beat to death only to say he was blind and apparently still living in the next breath; Meh-gun claiming to be one of those average folk from the middle of the country despite spending her entire life in the lap of luxury) was already pointed out by the great posters here.

[maggiemae]

Gee - I always thought Arizona was in the SW. Who knew it was the middle?

ETA - I liked today's show because I like Sunny a lot despite some of her faults. I think she lives a very interesting life filled with love and family and lots of friends.

I like Sunny, I really do, but, at least 2 people mentioned her showing up at other people’s houses with an entourage.  She even mentioned she was partying at Joy’s with a bunch of her friends and didn’t realize Joy had gone to bed.  I think it’s great that she has so many good friends, but, that would drive me up a wall.

Wow, everyone thinks that Meggie looked great.  I do not.  She should never wear a dress unless it is a wrap style.

She has worn jeans and a blouse or sweater and looked much better.  Some female bodies do not look great in a dress. Meggie looks like she is thirty pounds lighter when she is not in a dress.
