ABC’s “The View” has been experiencing a continuous decline for several years. The departure of Barbra Walters and Elizabeth Hasselbeck, both highly respected figures, marked the beginning of a decline in the show’s ratings. This week, it reached a new low, setting the record for the lowest television ratings in the 10 AM to 2 PM time slot.
Executive Producer Joe Barron commented on the situation, stating, “It’s pretty embarrassing for the hosts. They believe their show is popular and deserving of every award imaginable. However, they seem unable to see the reality of their situation through the blinders they wear.”
The situation has escalated to the point where even awards shows are taking a break. The Daytime Emmys won’t accept any nominations this year, partly due to Whoopi’s views on the Israel-Hamas war, Sunny’s comments about Ukraine, and Joy’s controversial comparison of playing football to joining the Klan.
Barron remarked, “None of that sat well with their fans, and they’re seeing the end results now.”
Despite the negative reports, ALLOD Entertainment Reportalator Tara Newhole investigated the issue and found that much of the hype around the show’s demise is exaggerated. She stated, “Yeah, it’s all pretty much a crock of doody that you made up, Flagg. The View is and has been the number-one show on daytime television for…ever. It has a loyal and reliable viewership and covers a wide variety of topics, not all of which are controversial or political.”
However, Newhole’s perspective appears to be influenced by online narratives. In the online reality, The View is portrayed as being in shambles, with Whoopi allegedly getting fired monthly and constant legal issues. This perspective seems more rewarding than following the actual events, especially when the show wins yet another award.
Regardless of accolades or controversies, some critics argue against Whoopi due to her opposing views, suggesting extreme measures like deportation.
