‘The View’ From the Bottom
Taki's ^ | August 19, 2025 | Spencer Davis

When your flagship talk show spends more time reading legal disclaimers than delivering punchlines, the problem isn’t bias—it’s boredom.

...

Let’s be clear: The View’s bias isn’t a flaw; it’s the product. It exists as a corporate-subsidized safe space where the Obama-Clinton catechism can be recited without fear of contradiction. Russia stole the election. Trump is a Kremlin agent. Fauci is The Science™. The CIA are the last line of defense against tyranny—so long as they’re not investigating Democrats.

The real reason the “liberal media matrix” is dying is not because Trumpists stormed the control room, but because it has bored itself to death. The View was never meant for debate; it was a daily catechism, a secular psalm service for the already converted. When entertainment becomes sermonizing, and the sermonizing stops being fun, the pews empty.

...

The View is also a master class in the art of the on-air legal disclaimer. Recently, the coven was obliged to walk back a series of smears against Trump allies and George Santos. Joy Behar “forgot” to mention that Santos had pleaded guilty to wire fraud and identity theft, prompting ABC legal to hand her a note mid-broadcast. The correction was read with all the sincerity of a hostage video.

"The View" might get shut down, but it will re-emerge as something else that starts with "V", maybe they'll get honest this time and just call it "The Vagina", which everybody knew was the real message anyway.

Of course, I'm assuming the people on the panel (excepting the occasional male guest) are biological females. I could be wrong....

Keep them around for the entertainment value. Each time I think they couldn’t go any lower, they open their mouths and totally redeem themselves.
I don’t watch it but i do enjoy the comedy made from their stupidity.

The person who started The View was Barbara Walters. I remember her in Cuba interviewing Castro and behind her was a prison where Fidel Castro kept political prisoners. She was a supporter of that dictator.

Writer George Plimpton watched prisoners being murdered by Che Guevara.
He did not tell anyone about what he saw for many years. He worked for ABC at one time doing series of specials.

The mindset of people like these two I cannot figure out.
