I have respect for Barbara Walters. I can't understand why so many people dislike her so much. She seems like she is an okay person. I am surprised she has lasted this long in the business. I don't know if it is because she is a tough old bird or if it is just because she is different. I think she has done more than her fair share of interviews and it really is mind blowing to think how many times she keeps on interviewing more. Overall, she is an okay person who has managed to stay active enough to be a pain at times. Thank you.

Can't stand to watch a bunch of women who are so full of themselves gush and blather on endlessly about nothing...those that can't are on the view~those that can are out there doing it and keeping their big mouths shut and their opinions to themselves...BTW I have considered myself a liberal until I watched this tripe!!!Elizabeth probably has the smallest brain of the bunch but continually come off looking like an Einstein next to the rest...I feel it is time for celebrities to keep their mouths and opinions to themselves when it comes to choosing the leaders of this country..because we ALL know Oprah's soo good at judging character don't we?

Barbara Walters has become an unkind, often cruel interviewer who can be so disrespectful to her guests that it makes me sick. Joy is too liberal and needs to be removed from "The View". The show just continues to go downhill. They don't understand not everyone is Liberal. The majority of them are so unkind to anyone conservative or Republican who happens to be on their show. They would not want to be treated that way, so why would they be so unkind. They have gotten to rude and always interrupting guests when they are tryingto talk (especially if they don't agree with their guests views). Down with The View and Barbara Walters!!!!

Growing up, I always knew that if Barbara Walters was interviewing someone, it had to be someone very important and with something important to say. I always thought that she knew exactly what to ask and how to ask it no matter how risky or bold. When I saw the 1 hour visit from Barack Obama on the View, my thoughts of her were shattered. The other ladies on the view are more like tabloid and T.V. personalities but Barbara has interviewed Kings, Princesses, Royalty, Presidents, and the most important people in the world. She is in a class of her own. So why did she not ask the important questions to Obama? Was she afraid for the first time? Why was his opinions and beliefs on religion and race more important than his actual detailed plans for our struggling economy, the removal of our troops from Iraq, the impeachment of Bush/Cheney, NAFTA guidelines, our health system, and so many other important issues? I felt as though the Barbara Walters I thought so highly of and respected was gone and in her body was a National Inquirer T.V. personality. I am a struggling American single mother of 3 and I could care less about personal opinions and religious beliefs. I want to hear strong solid plans based on undenyable facts. Barbara, it's time to interview Senator Clinton and ask about the detailed plans to get the economy back on track. She at least deserves as much time as Obama. That's only fair, right? If he wins the nomination, it will not be based on the issues, it will be based on the fact that the media and tv talk shows have given him all the free air time that Clinton can't afford to buy. It will have been all about race. And Obama says that's not what his campaign is about. That is rediculous. The media and you Barbara have made it so.

I would love to hear more of Sherri's views on her failed marriage. Often she comes off as terribly weak & self-deprecating. Based soley on snipets I've heard from her about relationships, on The View, I would NOT want my teenage daughter to be in ear shot distance of her speaking on it. Speaking on the Spitzer ordeal, she said something along the lines of "So men are just going to cheat? Well maybe I should've stayed married." Today she said she'd prefer her husband be intimate with a hooker than having an affair. However, in the same breath confirmed her awareness of the health risk. She just seems to have very little respect and love for herself.

This woman is a tv icon that everyone can relate to and use as a guideline for what to do to be successful in the media. I was aware that Barbara had a background, but not one with her credentials. Now if you are a fan of the person she interviews, you will enjoy what she has to offer. She lifts up and praises the person she speaks to (biased conversation). I don't recall her giving tough questions that would cause the person to be angered or lock up. A skeptic/critic might gain insight from one of her interviews, but probably would want to just see highlights and write the rest off.

I really don't have a review. I just wanted to
say that I think Barbara Walters should consider Lisa Lampanelli for replacing Rosie. The ratings for
The View would go thru the roof. After Lisa, Rosie would seem tame, but Lisa is
great. She can make you laugh at anyone or anything. At least let her guest host, but be sure to advertise it - no one would want to miss a show with
Lisa. I'm having a hard time making this 100 words. I love Rosie & miss her. I hope you'll give
Lisa a chance. Thank you for your time.

Barbara,I have watched the View from day one and have loved it! UNTIL-You chose to hire Rosie O'Donnel, WHY? would you and others @ abc feel she could contribute to this great show? Today did you see how upset everyone,even the guests were, after the scene that happened between Rosie and Elizabeth? Rosie thinks her opinion is Right and no one else's matters. She has hurt your show and I have decided to leave myself, I am not going to watch anymore. Sorry, but she makes a mess of this show and you,too... smvicznesky

Barbara Walters, when are you going to take charge and take Rosie off your show, if not for me but for my mom and the rest of the viewers who have to suffer for an hour each day?
Because every day you're not fighting to take control of your show, Rosie continues to take over. It's surprising how the first female co-anchor who has broken the barriers for women in journalism seems to not have a backbone when it comes to a b*tch named Rosie O'Donnell. So my advice is: get a backbone and get rid of Rosie so that you can take back your rightful place as host. Act quickly, because I have a feeling that that show is going to end sooner than you think if you don't do something about it.

Update (Posted Jan 18. 2007): I have to admit that Barbara Walters doesn't know how to run a TV show. She just lets Rosie and all her other women do whatever they want. My mom wrote to the View some time last year to get Rosie off the show and Barbara still has her there. The View has got to be the stupidest, most self-degrading show that has ever been broadcasted to women, for women. I'm getting tired of hearing about the Rosie/Trump feud. It's more annoying than when entertainment news started with the "Anna-Nicole-losing-her-son-to-anti-depressants" story. Thank god that story turned stale. I wish that Rosie and Trump would go and kill each other so that people who are tired of this story wouldn't have to hear about it anymore. (Besides, Barbara Walters isn't making the situation better. She's only making it worse.)
