Is the media overblowing what Rosie O'Donnell says on The View?

Question

Or is Rosie O'Donnell really trying to feud with everyone about everything?

I'm really get sick of seeing the headlines about Rosie supposedly starting verbal fights with people, but since I don't watch The View, I don't know if that's what's really happening or if they are making headlines out of nothing.

Your insights, please.

Answer 1

I used to really like Rosie. Problem is that she ,like many other celebrities, thinks her opinion is more valuable than others. She'd better cool it or her next rise to stardom might be the route of Star Jones

Answer 2

I personally adore her. She's an excellent role model for young people everywhere. She's an excellent Lesbian role model, one of many out celebrities that manages to maintain a relationship, and successfully raises a family. She and Kelly are excellent role models for families, gay and straight alike. They are loving, they love each other, and they love their own children. Most of which were someone else's children. How can you not love that? She might be outspoken, but she's honest. It might come across as abrasive at times, but the world needs to hear the things she says. They might not always be 100% factual, but alot of it is, and alot of it is what people have been avoiding talking about. She's called out that Pink and Purple Polka dotted Elephant from the middle of the room and forced people to talk about issues too 'sensitive' or 'scary' to address. She's a catalyst that this world needs. I would love to see her go on and work with more advocacy and non profit groups like she has, always using her celebrity to gain attention to a cause that is neglected. I'd love to see her host a show where real people are the heroes and honored for the work they do in real life. Rosie shouldn't and won't waste her time with an arrogant self absorbed wanna be celebrity like the dumptruck. Rosie is an inspiration, and people can say what they will about her, but what is said is mainly based in fear and ignorance. To truly know the kind of person Rosie is, is to understand that people need to sit outside their comfort level if just for a little bit. Rosie isn't going anywhere. She's here to stay. Whether you like it or not.

Answer 3

I am all for anyone speaking their mind and expressing an opinion but sometimes we must all learn to 'pick our fights'. While the media has definitely contributed to this ongoing crap, if Rosie had not initially said anything about Trump's decision then the fallout, his comments and this silly feud would not have taken place.

That said, "The View" is enjoying excellent ratings and Mr Trump does not seem too disturbed as he continues to make money and enjoy his success.

I like both Trump and Rosie, they are both successful, assertive and determined people, and this clash of the titans needs to go away as it undermines their achievements and not a great example for their children.

Answer 4

Rosie gets paid to express her views on topics that are circulating in the news. The problems is that most people would rather BS because they don't want to step on any body's toes... Rosie doesn't care, she's not running for anything and she's not in any body's pockets so she speaks freely. The media isn't used to it so they make it news. She has a tendency to be passionate about her opinions but I see that as a good trait.

Answer 5

Rosie O'Donnell is on a show called the view, she gets paid to talk about things that are currently in the papers and making todays headline news. She is allowed her own opinion on whatever topic they are discussing. She is not starting fueds in my opinion she is making statements that alot of us think and feel but do not have the voice to do it. The views ratings have sky rocketed and only continue to climb so hiring her must have been one of Barbara's great idea's to get herself a great business deal no matter what anyone thinks of Rosie, Like she says if you dont like me don't watch - change the channel

Answer 6

I look at it this way. When Rosie talks about things on television she usually does so during the "Hot Topic" session of the show. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you don't agree than you don't agree. She has raised some valid points and many people agree with her. I think she is getting the bum rap because she is outspoken. Yes the media has blown things out of control but I really don't see why she has to take all the blame.Oh well, to each his own. I don't worry too much about that stuff because before long they will be picking on someone else.

Answer 7

Popular culture is fascinated with itself. That is the essence of narcissism.Rosie O'Donnell is a poster child of the first generation raised on television.She is a fountain of useless information gleaned from years of sucking the glass teat(watching television,for the post-literati)

Answer 8

I am SOOOO sick of the Rosie Vs. Donald ..they are BOTH acting childish and if the media would leave it alone , they would chill out..they are doing it for attention! and OMG the stuff donald comes up with is sooo first grade like shes fat and ugly! he is too so whats the deal there?

Answer 9

Perhaps, but I find the spat between Donald and Rosie entertaining.

Answer 10

Rosie has a thing called.....i say it like i see it .. and that comes over to many as being forward or rude or whatever you want to call her saying of things.

either ya love or hate her for the way say tells people what she thinks.
