Why would 'The View' keep Rosie O'Donnel ?She is an embarracement. Is Barbara Walters afraid of her?

Question

I no longer purchase any advertized products from that show. Are others doing the same?

Answer 1

Wouldn't you be afraid of her?

Answer 2

"The View" started as a good program. Then when Barbara Walters stopped being a regular on it, it totally went downhill.

Putting O'Donnell on it in an attempt to boost the ratings worked, but I think at best it is temporary. O'Donnell just does not appeal to people like she did at her zenith with her own show.

I don't watch The View. I dislike how Rosie O'Donnell has handled a few things. She is vulgar and crude. She speaks without thinking.

It's time for that show to be retired. I think Barbara Walters should leave TV as well. She is wayyyyy too old to be doing anything anymore.

Answer 3

A guy with a question about "The View", that's interesting enough in itself. I don't believe Barbara is afraid...I believe that she trusts that Rosie will do what is best for the show. And I don't think Barbara wants to start a huge arguement with her very own co-worker for the media to talk about. The Rosie- Trump fight is enough for everyone. I think Barbara Walters is just too classy.

I do agree that Rosie needs to GO!

Answer 4

The more people hate her the more the ratings go up for The View....She helps keep controversy alive, that's the American way of life. I doubt if Barbara is afraid of her, she's using Rosie as an asset....It's all about profit.

Answer 5

Oh come on !!! Look at you bringing attention to "The View". See, this is what people like. Rosie did a terrific job on her talk show and won Emmys year after year for it. Rosie knows how to work the crowd. Barbara is not afraid of anyone. She is one of the best journalists ever and wouldn't be if she was afraid of controversy. She knew what she was doing when she hired Rosie. Everyone has their own opinion but I think Rosie is "View" material and "The Don" is out of line.............

Answer 6

They keep her because she's a squeeky wheel who gets attention.Bah Bah Wah Wah isnt afraid of her she just uses Rosie O'Donnell because she attracts attention from the audience they already have. The network will eventually make her dump her dont worry. I never watch that crappy show. Mail Call with R.Lee Ermey has re-runs on the History Channel watch that instead

Answer 7

Barbara Walters knows what she is doing and the fact that we are discussing the View tells me its working.

Its simple ...More viewers = higher ratings higher ratings= more money in Barbara's bank account.

Donald Trump is just mad because Rosie did an awesome impression of him.

Answer 8

I love "The View" now that Rosie O'Donnell is on the show I don't think she is and embarrassment at all.Why would you say a thing like that?No Barbara Walters is not afraid of her.She is relay great friends with her of the show belive it or not.

Answer 9

For as many people that hate Rosie, the ratings on The View have never been higher. I guess people are tuning in to see what horrible thing she is going to do next. With more people watching than ever before, it would be a mistake for them to get rid of her.

Answer 10

I no longer watch it! I don't care to hear her disgusting mouth. Walters ought to be ashamed of having her on there. I think she's afraid of being sued over a breach of contract or something like that. I don't know how the ratings have increased, everyone I know will not watch it either. I thought Barbara Walters had more class than this!

Answer 11

Barbara Walters isn't afraid of anyone. She's too powerful. Rosie brings in the viewers (minus you--big loss), because she is radical.
Good luck opening your mind, dude.
