Regardless of her political leanings, Barbara Walters has to be concerned with her reputation, and can’t possibly enjoy this kind of negative publicity dealing with an ongoing relationship with an employee. It already appears that she has little control over the discussions that ensue on her program, and that the presence of the extremely liberal O’Donnell has moved “The View” even further to the left thereby offending a greater percentage of middle America.
On the other hand, it is quite possible that this squabble was all a publicity stunt. Variety magazine recently reported that this spat between Trump and O’Donnell has sparked the program’s ratings with its highest viewer totals ever occurring in the fourth quarter of 2006. With Barbara back from vacation, could this fight in the makeup room all have been staged to milk this matter even further?
If that is the case, then Walters either herself is only about the ratings regardless of content, or she enjoys the new Rosie-dominated “View” irrespective of how offended moderate and conservative watchers might be.

Walters will never fire Rosie now, because she is livid that Trump lied about her saying she do not want to hire Rosie.
Now Trump is calling Walters a liar in a letter to Rosie.
Trump needs some psychology help fast!
He's a fruitcake!

As soon as everyone emails the network and threatens to boycott until they bring back Star! It's so unfair that she was fired just for getting slim! It's anarchy, I tell you, fat people anarchy!

She'll be gone by Fall Season. She wasn't hired for the long run.

I hope this week! They're not very smart though. It could take a while for them to figure it out.
