“It’s your show, Barbara. Obviously is you were that concerned about Behar’s offensiveness, it wouldn’t be allowed to happen.”
Because Walters does`nt control the show. behar and whoopi do. And before that, rosie controlled it. Walters is just along for the ride. behar and whoopi tolerate Walters as long as she does`nt get too far out of line. Walters is terrified of them.
Walters owns the show. It's her production.
She has no reason to fear anybody on the set.
Ah, but she does, both literally and legally. Walters and her business partner, Bill Geddie, are the creators and executive producers of The View. Barbara has complete authority. What she says, goes. I assure you, Barbara Walters is terrified of no one, especially those for whom she signs their paychecks.
