    Why is this still on tv?

    By the years I have seen some incredible shows canceled and others don't even start airing. Examples of that are Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and the Farm which was a projected spin of of the very successful: The Office. A lot of other shows come to mind. Those shows that were canceled had great rating numbers and still were canceled. So that is why my question comes: Why is the View still on TV? It's ratings are extremely low and their content is the probably the worst of any talk show ever. Instead of promoting intelligent discussions and thinking the hostesses screaming all over the place gives women a bad reputation.

    Horrible

    Why can't the hosts be neutral and less judgmental with their guests. Kelly Ripa is able to do this, but this crew, no way.

    The most biased talk show on national TV

    They definitely express a "view". This show has become a political reality show staring Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar as the lead Political Analysts (haha). I really have no idea how this show is still on TV. They keep getting rid of any host who has a differing opinion. It's sad.

    Who gave these people this show?

    If there was a god in heaven this show would be taken off the air and all footage burned in a fantastic bonfire. The least intelligent and least qualified people are given the task of telling whoever has the displeasure of watching what to think and we get the results woo hoo, thank you tv!

    No, "right wing" did not organize a bunch of 1 star reviews. Look at the dates, they all come from different years.

    I was looking at the reviews to see if I should give this show a chance. The one thing I noticed is how often the reviewers who gave this above an 8 had the opinion that some conservatives wasted their time organizing bombing this show with 1 star reviews. So, I looked, and I saw that the 1 star reviews had no similarity in dates at all. They were published any time from 2005 to 2022. No cluster of any similar dates at all. I couldn't even find more then 2 that came in the same week. I even checked the 2 star reviews. Nothing.

    The fact that the people who like this show don't have the intellect to check their theories before writing them in their review by doing something so simple as to check the dates, tells me I don't want to watch this. And they call others "conspiracy theorists"??? LOL! What is even funnier is that it looks like we got a bombardment of 15 people who pretty much gave downvotes to any review on this, the Tucker Carlson show, and possibly a few others. But look at the ratings this show; 2.5. So how many people do you think love this show? Not many. And yet, all of a sudden I get this many downvotes? All in a space of 2 days. Projection.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In September of 2009 Whoopi Goldberg who was the new moderator of the View at that point, made the infamous statement that Roman Polanski was not guilty of rape: " Whoopi Goldberg suggested that whatever he was guilty of it wasn't "rape-rape".As a guest on The View chat show on US television, she said: "I know it wasn't rape-rape. It was something else but I don't believe it was rape-rape. He went to jail and and when they let him out he was like, 'You know what, this guy's going to give me a hundred years in jail. I'm not staying.' So that's why he left."' This outraged many people because Polanski was charged with plying a 13 year old girl with drugs and alcohol and then sodomizing her. And infact he was charged with rape: "In March 1977, film director Roman Polanski was arrested and charged in Los Angeles with five offenses against Samantha Geimer, a 13-year-old girl, rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, lewd and lascivious acts...." Goldberg's statement that it was not "rape-rape" was both inaccurate, (it was rape-rape as she put it); but it also seemed to soft-pedal or excuse Polanski's crime to a certain degree.
