Barbara Walters' Dream
“The audience size that Barbara was able to capture and harness is unmatched in today’s world,” said Jackie Jesko, director of the new documentary “Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything,” debuting Monday on Hulu after its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this month.

The late Barbara Walters became a star on NBC’s “Today” in the early 1960s. She turned newsmaker interviews into major television events. However, her legacy is a dream she had. Basically, it was having liberal women with one or two Conservative women tossed in, who would discuss fashion. the culture and sometimes the news. It has become one of daytime TV’s longest-running talk shows. Her dream “The View,” kind of morphed into a radical leftwing tv show with 4 very ignorant people saying ignorant things.

The other day, one of the women of the view, Alyssa said that nobody would want to go live in Iran if they could live in the US. Whoopie Goldberg fired back with "not if you're black. " After 60 years of racial preferences and affirmative actions, millions spent on LBJ's anti-poverty programs and here is a woman who is a millionaire comparing the US to Iran and claiming that blacks are persecuted. And like the other illiterates on the show she says things about race, that if they were reversed the show would have been taken off the air for blatant racism.

The View's audience is getting smaller. The show gets lampooned regularly by Greg Gatfield and after this latest gaff Guy Benson called it "The daily national insane asylum."

You be the judge:



Even the Aussies are laughing.

Simple solution to that, don't watch it.

Here is some background on black slavery in Iran.

Black Iran: The Forgotten Legacy of Enslaved Africans in Persia Is Being Resurrected

Race and ethnicity: Shining a spotlight on Iran's Black community - Middle East matters

Meanwhile, it appears that the USA is now at war with at least Iran, after B-2's or B-52's apparently struck at least 3 "nuclear facilities" today...

All planes are out of Iranian airspace and returning to their base(s).

So much for not getting involved in the ME or another war in the ME.

Iran vows vengeance.

Is a broken promise a lie?

A limited strike does not make a war.

Listen to the tape. Woopie (not Oprah) is clearly comparing the lack of human rights in Iran with the "plight" of blacks in the US

Somebody didn’t read their own link, the View is the 7th most popular on a crappy network and 30th overall.

The View is a U.S. television program broadcast on ABC since Monday, August 11, 1997. The View is currently the seventh most popular show on ABC and 30th overall on TV,

Wouldn't this be a dream that became a delusion?

Obviously you CAN make this stuff up.  And get away with it.
