"The View": Week Of 3/11/2019

[SPinCA]

I agree with Joy, it’s insulting to say people in the country only read Field and Stream and watch Fox. That’s a self fulfilling myth because the more it’s spread the more people will avoid “elite” media. Back in the 80s growing up in a family of factory workers my parents had a range of papers and magazines in the house so we were exposed to different points of view. We even had, gasp, library cards. Not everything is a left/right battle, I’m tired of it. 

Instead of telling us who the elite media are, could they give examples of the non elite media then please.

Okay I didn't realize this until majority report shared this.  Joy  inserted quickly that Jews get discriminated in legacy admissions.  What a hilarious dig at Meghan, who was freaking out about anti-semitic issues before.   Joy is ridiculously good at this.

I can't believe that Meghan also seem to not realize the difference between legacy and legacy advantage.  She really does not understand that, which explains her weird "my father rant".  Also, the irony of using her father to defend legacy advantage.

That guy in the Puma sweatshirt does a really good Meghan McCain impression.

I'm Canadian, so pardon my ignorance, but what kind of insurance was Whoopi talking about?

Megan doubled down when Joy made that statement and her backup singer Abby reiterated what she said. I don't understand how two idiots from Arizona and Utah feel they are the sole voices of middle America. I am sure there are diversity of thoughts in their respective home states. It is very telling that they both live in liberal New York getting paid handsomely at a media elite organization..

One of my brothers had pneumonia and  was put into a medically induced coma for about 2 weeks, so, I think Whoopie was put through the wringer and is looking pretty good and I was happy to see her.

I live in a red state and I've said many times Meghan and Abby (and whatever idiot pundit on cable news) does not speak for me.  It is very insulting to presume just because someone lives in Iowa and other mid west states they are more interested in reading Field & Stream than Vanity Fair.   Meghan and Abby both from red states (although Arizona is turning pink if not purple) and live in NYC. Shall we presume they only read Vanity Fair?  When people say shit like fly over states or whatever what they mean is we are a bunch of yokels who are more comfortable in overalls instead of black tie. And Meghan is the one who believes that stereotype.  Joy is the one who usually shoots that stereotype down.  

So once again I have to say Fuck you Meghan.

I didn't know what the hell Meghan was talking about when she kept saying "Aunt Becky's husband" - and then, I realized Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky is the character she plays on "Full/Fuller House").

I found it interesting when she said she didn't know who Lori's husband was, because her husband is Mossimo--as in, the Mossimo clothing line at Target.

Seems like the kind of thing she would know. 

Samantha Bee talked about Meghan's tears last week over the Liebermans on her show last night and I CRACKED UP.

I'm a little behind per usual. While I hate our healthcare system, and think it is actively evil, Whoopi is once again displaying her utter ignorance on the topic, and is discussing it like it ought to be a savings account. 

Not to mention, Whoopie has the best Healthcare that ABC can provide and she has enough money to not go bankrupt, getting treated.

Whoopi, yes you have had health insurance for 60 years but it hasn't been all through the same insurance company.

If you haven't used it in the last 59 years doesn't mean you can now use it all at once!!

She really believes her premiums have just been stashed away in some safety deposit box just waiting for her to need it.

Nice to see Whoopi, but she's an idiot about insurance. Stop talking! Thank God for Joy and Ana.

Meghan can just fuck right off - screeching 'don't ever leave me!' Stop sucking up, you moron!

We also always had Vanity Fair New Yorker and News week. And many other magazines in our house growing up. Vanity Fair and Vogue were my favorites. I obviously wasn't buying them, that was my mom (it was the 80's I only bought teen mags lol.).

I grew up and still live in very Red Ohio.

If Whoopi doesn't understand the difference between health insurance and a pension plan, she is stupider than I thought.

The View has always be horrible at understanding the stock market, retirement plans, insurance, etc even when they bring on an expert! That will make Abby's little brain spin!!

They just need to stick with their favorite topic, politics.

[blondiec0332]

Whoopi talking about insurance made my head hurt.  How can anyone be that fucking stupid?  She wants to know where here money went/is going.  If her insurance company had been keeping it all these years I guarantee they would have spent all of it in the first week of her hospital stay.  And then they would have come to her and say sorry you are all cashed out.  Can you write us check?

Joy attempted to explain things to her but she just went on and on.

[falltime]

I'm glad Whoopi is feeling better. For a second there I thought she was going to say that healthcare should be a right not a privilege but no, she just wants to know where her money is going.

I'm sure she won't be on "Fuller House" anymore, either. I never watched it but that's another stream of income she'll be losing out on due to her greed.

I think Fuller House just taped their final season, so it looks like they just dodged a MAJOR PR bullet. (OTOH, an "Aunt Becky goes to prison" episode would be worth EVERYTHING!)

[Medicine Crow]

Does anyone see the "insurance topic" coming down the pike, along with Whoopi disseminating misinformation about it.  There's life insurance, health insurance, car insurance, etc. & I can just see her mangling everyone's understanding of what they're entitled to!!!

(Talking about how people in Iowa don't read Vanity Fair.)

Joy: That's so insulting to the people in the middle of the country.  Are they supposed to put [Beto's interview] in Fishing and Tackling?  I mean it's insulting.  They read Vanity Fair.

Meghan:  I love fishing and tackling. 

Sheesh, Meghan, that is not the topic!

LOVE this.  It is just on here and not to this point. 

[Blissfool]

They need to have an insurance expert come on and explain it to Whoopi. Just like they had a legal expert come on and explain the Bill Cosby debacle to her.

Whoopi's nonsensical rambling about health insurance made my brain hurt. Yikes!

This is where I thought she was going, too but silly me. It's been awhile since I've heard her ramble her way through a segment, so my expectations were higher than they should've been.

[Blissfool]

I can understand what Abby is trying to say about elite media. I do think VF and Vogue cater to upper middle class and rich folk. People Magazine is a good example of print media that appeals to the masses, in my opinion.

Ana and Joy did bring up how expensive health care is and how people can go bankrupt because of it. Whoopi should thank her lucky stars she had insurance and the means to pay anything not covered by insurance.  A poor person with her same illness might not be alive today to talk about it.

Whoopi said it weird but I thought she meant that if you pay the premiums you should get your treatment.

Target is not "elite." I doubt she shops there, at least not for clothes. She's more of a Saks or Nordstrom girl. 

I was surprised she didnt know who Aunt Becky was. She's the right age to have been watching Full House in the 90s.

They also bungle politics. So many times some on the panel will give out misinformation due to lack of understanding of a subject or disinformation because some will spit out talking points that are false and dangerous. Megan is an example of both every time they discuss politics.

She called her "Aunt Becky" instead of Lori. She knew.

And fair point about Target. It's just that the money that Mossimo has made from Target is no joke, so that seemed like Meghan's market, so to speak.

Whoopi has been complaining about insurance for yeeeeaars. She really thinks her premiums should be accumulating somewhere for when she actually needs them.

I noticed that, too. Sort of disrespectful to me.

Ahhhh, the hunched-over look....from an old lady:  Shades of James Dean.  So soulful, so sexy, so misunderstood (in our teenage minds).

I don't watch the show, but isn't his hair dyed darker for the part of Jughead (blue-black hair in the comics)...and maybe the length is required?

[Aileen]

I cried when she came out and everyone rushed to welcome her back. I like Whoopi (not as a moderator, though) and am glad she’ll be ok. ETA, both of my parents died from sepsis other the past 3 years.

Oh, and btw, Barbara Walters is the first lady of The View.

Then Joy.

Then maaaaaaybe I'll give it to Whoopi.

[Lifesabeach]

I was glad to see whoopi up and about.  I would imagine she will be really easing back in slowly. I think Joy (love her) has been fabulous as moderator.  I think they could/should tag team the job.  Pneumonia is so serious in the elderly, and double with sepsis?  Woof!  It has long been known as the ‘old persons friend’ in medical circles as it can be a fairly easy way to pass on for the infirmed.  At least better than many other ways. Apologies if this has been mentioned previously.

i was confused by whoopi’s talk about insurance because I thought she was only a year younger than me and was on Medicare.  Sorry Whoopi 😙. Keep well.

and yes, mm was unbearable once again.  But how can we expect anything else from her?  It’s in her DNA.  Like a mutant hobgoblin.

[Cementhead]

I have a feeling Whoopi isn't much of a sharer. 

[athousandclowns]

I can’t with this twit. When Whoopi’s telling a funny hospital story which involved Ana and Sunny Megan she just jumps right in and said we all visited then sighed and rolled her eyes and looked at the audience. How dare Whoopi not acknowledge her even though she was not there when lady recognized Ana.  Then at the end hunching  herself across the table to call her the First Lady of The View and she’s happy she is well.. I fully expected her to mow someone down to get to Whoopi first. 

The advocate is a hospital employee at least they were when I sought one out. Insurance has to have guidelines or doctors would order unnecessary tests.   Oh and doctors do own medical machinery.    It’s also the insurance company job to turn down stuff.  So fight it.  Also if you get the doctor ordering to call insurance company it usually works.  Stanford was dragging their heels about a treatment trying say it was experimental. When surgeon heard  that he said when I call they come around.

I think you got it,  coffeewinewater, about MM being a childwoman.

She must have gotten the idea that it was cute and she got her way,  so she kept up the spoiled brat pouting, squeaky wheel persona. 

As MM is ageing and becoming not so cute, her arrested development mannerisms are reaching Baby Jane level of crazy.

[UYI]

UGH when Meghan called Whoopi "the First Lady of the View". No disrespect to Whoopi, she's been there a long time now, but it's SO obviously a swipe at Joy, who has been there longer and deserves that title more (hell, it may be a more fitting title for Barbara, since SHE'S the reason the show exists).

*ahem*

That's all I'll say before I let MeAgain McCain give me high blood pressure. Not worth it. 

[Cementhead]

Yep, calling Whoopi that was totally passive agressive.  Now that her protector is back, she is going to stick it to Joy every chance she gets and she waited all but 5 minutes to start doing so.  Such a child. 

[telemachus2]

It was quite touching to see the rest of the gang joyfully welcoming Whoops back - Sunny (at least) & I teared up momentarily.  But then Whoops spreads her typical misinformation re insurance (payin' in for 60 yrs - how old is she, REALLY?) & tops it off with a cat poop tale - ugh.  Go home & get well, W., & maybe realize life is short & you don't really enjoy doing this show.  Sad to hear her only resource in an emergency was her faraway work partner & her make-up artist - not to worry, the fambly will make it to the will reading, fer sure.

WHOOPI!!!   You da shit woman!!  The stories abt the diff visits were funny.  As good as it was to see her, seeing her did nothing to alleviate worries..she is still a good 3 weeks out.  She needs to build up her strength and immunity.  She should be in rehab ideally-PT and OT.  Don't push it to quick and land back in ICU this time
