"The View": Week Of 2/23/2019

McCain doesn't care about The Bachelor. Funny, considering they probably only have to talk about The Bachelor to avert more of her meltdowns.

I wonder if the producers warned Joy not to step in and shut MM down as she has in past weeks. I wonder if she's been told to not hurt little orphan Meggie's feelings lest she have another breakdown during commercial breaks.  Handle the poor girl with kid gloves and let her run roughshod over the rest of the panel.

It was the third time today that she changed the topic. (Maybe she did it for the KimK topic, but I changed the channel then.

ahbee's lipstick needs to be more red so you can see it from space.

What and why is Meghan always looking up at?  Herself in a moniter? I never see anyone else looking up like she does.... why is it that every movement and everything she says is so annoying lol?   Also- does that really tie her to Kristen Bell- they both played Elsa?  You an about every other little girl in the world last year!

I find they all interrupt their non-celebrity guests a lot. They want to get to the juicy part of their stories within the confines of a 3 min segment so it is rushed to the point of being rude.

I wish they would all STOP their opening comments telling the guest what he/she already knows.  "You were born in a coal mine. You had nothing to wear but your sister's dresses. You had sex with your pastor and now you've won a Grammy!"   It works better when the interviewer looks at us...looks at the audience, and says, "Our guest was born in a coal mine, with nothing to eat..." because HJJ already knows everything about himself.  Then she/he would ask HenryJohnJim the concise questions to get out the publicity required by this visit.

Because, above all else, she is NOT a professional.  She's a princess without etiquette. She doesn't know how to behave on television.  She wiggles in her chair.  She aims that laser-eye when she disapproves of anything/anyone.  She checks herself on the monitor to be sure she's still pretty.  All the antics that may have been cute (may have!) when she was six years old and younger are appalling now.  Cut it out!

Lol that just reminded me of The Chris Farley Show on Snl where he never actually asked any real questions and all the interviews were majorly awkward. Like to Paul McCartney 

CF: remember when you were in the Beatles?

PM: yes

CF (nervous and awkward): that was awesome

CF: remember when everyone thought you were dead?

PM: yes

CF: that was a hoax, right?

Whoopi called from home and to warn Executive Producer Brian that just because she's not there does not mean she's unaware.  Stop picking on my Babe!  Whoopi reminded Brian that SHE and she alone is adored and revered by Disney and if you do not protect Babe, you are disrespecting her (Whoopi).

American Broadcasting Company(ABC) is owned by Disney-ABC Television Group which is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.

You're right. But I believe Joy had one blowout to the producers over Meghan's unprofessional behaviour. The producers may be worried that Joy will have enough of Meghan and leave the show and if that happens a lot of viewers will leave with her.

• I want to believe this.
• I wish this were true.
• I worry every day that Meghan has more power than any of us will ever realize.
• Disheartened.

Ms. imstilltalking is so rude and unprofessional. They don't discuss certain topics because john mccain's daughter can't have civil conversations. She wants a split screen moment. #firemeghanmccain

[blondiec0332]

I watched it for myself and Meghan STFU.  Late term abortions are performed when the fetus isn't viable or if the life the mother is in danger.  Meghan makes it sound like a woman with a healthy pregnancy at eight months just up and decides to have an abortion which is a lie.

They were talking about climate change and if parents are right to consider that when they have children and Meghan just starts shrieking about abortions.  This might just be her most obnoxious moment.  Her interrupting Sunny to continue her ridiculous ranting is typical but still wrong.  And yes Meghan Sunny might very well be against abortion but she also understands the law.

And because I hate her so much. STFU MEGHAN.

Just reached the part when Meghan talks over Sunny and won't shut up. Joy asked if Sunny was going to be allowed to finish her thought, and M kept talking and making faces. I don't remember anyone being as rude or immature as she has been since she came on this program. 

[SPinCA]

Ugh. Infanticide 😡 That is the lowest attack imo, that’s the type of nonsense that was in some Catholic propaganda rag we used to get in church 30 years ago. 

Also her ignorance offends me because my sister was told during her third term that her pregnancy was not viable and to continue would risk her health as she waited for a stillbirth/natural miscarriage. Needless to say it was a very stressful time for us all and I want to shake anyone who thinks women will carry a child for 8 months and then just decide to have an abortion because their brunch plans were cancelled and they’re bored. 

Watch Meghan do a 180 if this happened to her.

You can tell when Abby and mm are about to tag team on a topic. They give each other a look from across the table.

[Cementhead]

I did not watch today and I am so very thankful for that because reading all of your posts on Meghan's outrageous abortion comments is causing me a great amount of rage.  It makes me sick to my stomach to just read that she was getting away with this today.  I am truly appalled that ABC has given such a vile creature a public platform, along with buckets & buckets of money to spew such dangerous garbage.  I don't know what is going on in the world anymore.  In the battle between good vs. evil, good seems to be losing more and more every day. 

This miserable, horrible excuse for a human being is the worst person to ever grace this stage.  She has not one positive attribute.  She brings nothing of value to the table.  Just her blue cards and vitriol.  Shame on ABC.

I'm sure this will splashed across all the media sites.  Sunny might have pushed back on the bill they were discussing but I wish Joy would have pushed back on the infanticide. rant.  That is just a word they use to stir up emotion.  Meghan either doesn't know or doesn't care that in the rare cases of a late term abortion that doesn't go as planned the parents are consulted about what happens to the baby.  As mentioned earlier they are babies not expected to survive birth which is why the abortion was being performed. But Meghan would much rather scream they are killing babies.

It is because of remarks like hers that people kill abortion doctors. They think they are saving babies.

But seriously, Meghan is truly despicable, calling the Democrats the party of infanticide. She is a disgusting, terrible person and I can't stand her. That segment pissed me off so much.

She says the democrats want to be the "party of infanticide"  AFTER Sunny clarified exactly what the bill outlined and that infanticide is ILLEGAL anyway.   NO, Meghan, you ignorant bitch, the democrats are not trying to make killing babies legal!   

something I noticed, that I mentioned here before -  there are a lot of times that whatever Meghan is ranting about, usually name-calling the democrats, is also what the president is tweeting about.  I don't know the common denominator, but there are certain "talking points"  that are pretty identical across the board for conservatives.  Today, it was like Meghan was given a mission - to make sure to broadcast the idea that DEMOCRATS KILL BABIES!!

Similarly, Abby's mission seemed to be attacking AOC by saying - she wants people to STOP HAVING BABIES!  another talking point.      AOC never told anyone not to reproduce.   she said that this generation of young people are hesitant to have children because of environmental concerns.   I can attest to that.  I have two sons over the age of 25.  they don't have kids, and neither do the majority of their friends.  one reason, though not the only one, is the question of is it right to bring children into the world when the planet is in such poor shape.

This x 1,000%!!!!

It's so stupid! !! Looking at the person and telling him/ her about themselves.

Why?

So the hosts can talk longer?  We want to hear the guest tell about themselves or their story/ project. 

God, it's just ridiculous.

Or they had already decided for themselves to do that? I'm just a plebian, but I don't think the Academy has any say what songs they were going to perform?

I think We Will Rock You/We are the Champions is their best known song.  Adam could have handled belting out Bohemian Rhapsody, but they had a stripped down set with no backup singers, so I don't think it was possible.  

[Cementhead]

I just read elsewhere that Bohemian Rhapsody was the obvious choice for them to sing but the producers deemed it to be too long. 

.... But then I also read that fans felt ripped off and said that their performance was too short and should have been longer, so .... perhaps they should have just let them sing it, lol

I remember discussing Sherri Shepherd doing the same thing.  They get blue cards with facts about a guest.  I would think those would be just "reminders"  to spur the conversation.  instead, they READ the bio info to the guest.  I wish I could remember the guest, but one time, Sherri read to a man, "you have two children, ages 8 and 11."   and the guest answered "true,"  as if he was taking a quiz.   It was hilarious, but Sherri didn't understand why.

It doesn't. As Tinkerbell said above Meghan just wanted to scream about "infanticide".

And Abby thinks AOC talking about people maybe not having children because of climate change is the worst thing ever?  What does she think about Meghan not  having kids just because she doesn't want to?

One quick thing I noticed.   Dax and Kristen, talking about their kids, showing video of their daughter riding a dirt bike (? I think that's what it was)  Meghan jumps in with  how it's just like HER AND HER DAD!   Because every good story about a dad and a daughter is about Meghan.

[WonderWuman73]

Ugh STFU The EV Potato strikes again. I love Joy as the moderator but I would’ve love if she was tougher on Megan during that segment. But I think she was told to keep it cool.

Oh if Whoopi was there, she would’ve either went to commercial sooner or scream at Megan. Although she calls her babe and coddles her, just remember that a segment like this happened in a past show... and In order to tell Megan to STFU cos she wouldn’t stop talking , she screamed at her before they broke away. That is when they argued and she stormed off In tears because she looked like a insane nut. 

And yeah a Fuck u Abby -AOC asked a legitimate question.  Plus Miss princess Big lips has the luxury of spitting out kids ... she could care less about people’s problems or worries. 

[Silver Raven]

Did Abby say that because the Democrats are saying that they need to protect the environment in order to make sure the human race doesn't get wiped out mean that they want to wipe out the human race?

BTW, Meggy, it's MARIST poll, not Marxist.  And those abortion polls are meaningless if you only ask if people are against abortion, because you can be against abortion personally and still be pro-choice.  Add that question into the mix and report those numbers.

Ha!  That cracked me up when she said Marxist instead of Marist. Oops. And no, Meg, AOC is not leading the Dem party. She’s a first term Congresswoman who has been raised to the level of celebrity because you Reps won’t stop talking about her. 

I just went to the yahoo homepage and the lead story was Trump calling Dems babykillers. That’s where Meg gets her talking points. 

Anyone know where to complain to ABC?  There is no feedback option on their website.

I think MM is there for one reason only, her desire to spread the Republican message.  She's a loudmouth bully and I think the closer we get to the election the worse (and louder) she will become.  Since when does she have the right to decide which topics are worth talking about?  I am positive that they have a meeting before the show and discuss what the topics will be, that would be her time to interject her opinion, NOT when someone else is discussing something that she thinks is a waste of time.  It's happening on a daily basis now.  I don't know why Joy is allowing her to get away with it.  

Whoopi must have a very serious case of pneumonia, or maybe there are other complications.

Meghan "doesn't care" about the Kardashians (which I kind of agree with), so instead, she gives a shoutout to Shane Doan, an ice hockey player from the Arizona Coyotes, who has retired from the game.  

Now, I get that she is a loud and proud Arizonan (who doesn't live there anymore and hasn't for some time), but I'm thinking that the majority of the View's core audience/demographic (both in the studio and at home) would have more interest in the stupid Kardashians than they would a hockey player.  I'm a hockey fan (Go, Rangers!!), but that little shoutout to Doan bored me more than the conversation about the Kardashians!  

And, apparently, Meghan even realized that she cut off Joy and changed the subject again, because I think at the end of her comments about Doan, she said something like "Back to you, Joy" - like she was an field reporter on a news channel giving the show back to the anchor.

I believe that Meghan changed the discussion of every "Hot Topic" item today.  

One more thing - Sunny has much more patience than I.  If I was trying to make a valid and accurate counterpoint to a discussion and someone kept screeching and talking over me the way Meghan did, I think I would have smacked her, or just told her to fuck off.

Wonder if her husband wrote it on her blue cards that way on purpose!  

[tinkerbell]

The moment that really had me fuming was when Sunny was TRYING to explain the abortion/infanticide issue.  Meghan kept trying to interrupt, Sunny kept on talking.  Then Meghan says "DISGUSTING!"  while Sunny was talking!   RUDE!  

Later, in the Kardashian segment, they talked about drinking, and Joy said "you like to drink, Meghan."  Meghan said "so does Sunny"  and they toasted with their mugs.   NO, SUNNY!  leave her hanging!   refuse to acknowledge that bitch!   Unless you put poison in her mug, do NOT toast!

She also explained that’s she’s called Elsa because she’s a ice princess ( cue picture of her which looks photoshopped) then  blabs on that Elsa also is kick ass (like her). 

i can  not think of another situation where her rude unprofessional non stop behavior would be tolerated. How can she claim to advocate women supporting women when she’s so damn rude to her fellow women panel members. 

Abby is analyzing the tough situation the Bachelor is in going to the fathers of the contestants and hypothetically asking for their hands. You’re taking this crap much to serious. Why isn’t she horrified by such displays like she was with Gagga and Bradly ? I tried watching the Bachelor years ago and didn’t have to leave the room I had to change the channel because young women were actng so desperate. Bitsy Abby and these two love that show what’s the deal?     

I agree with the incredible patience of Sunny ,must be her experience of being a lawyer in order to keep her cool. 

Someone posted a link before to complain other than feedback. 

I let loose on her Twitter have no idea how / why I’m able to do so.
