Anyone who watched the View and shows like it to immerse themselves in news, remove their senses from both entertainment and the news by watching that nonsense. Pure bread and circuses.
The thing is, it’s not just who watches The View, or any of these shows when it’s on. The clips from these shows are available on social media for people to watch at their leisure, and things that happen on these shows do become news, and do influence even those who don’t watch these shows.
