The World Wants A Moderate The View
Earlier this year, in what seems like something straight out of Office Space, The View brought in consultants and did polls and secret panels to find out exactly what their viewers thought of the panel. Excluded from any of this was Barbara Walters because she is Barbara Walters and none of the viewers who were asked were quite sure if she was alive or a robot brought in some mornings. What the study did find and what was widely reported was that people had a strong dislike for the conservative views of Elisabeth Hasselbeck. This led to the speculation she was being fired, but will probably just move along elsewhere. The same number of people had a strong dislike for Joy Behar and her liberal views and as you know Joy decided to leave the show. So, what does this mean for The View going forward? No one will ever be allowed to give any opinion on any subject that is not universally agreed to and polled beforehand.
