The ladies of The View have a lot of problems with you people---and most of them center around the problems that you people have with The View.
The panel is no stranger to controversy, which makes sense considering they spend a great deal of time launching bunker busters at people who don't even have daytime talk shows on their radar. The show has caused its share of freakouts---and they've become increasingly adept at apologizing for them. Last week, Joy Behar waxed innocent on outrage culture when she said, “One of my friends said to me yesterday, ‘The View’ has become, ‘We didn’t really mean it! We’re sorry! We didn’t mean to say it like that!' We need to stop saying that.” Co-host Raven Symone lamented that it feels like we have freedom of speech "until you say something that offends somebody.”
The funny thing with The View is, their own viewer demographic tends to turn on them at every opportunity. See here. And here. And who could forget this this piece of insanity?
So sure, ladies---you have a lot to worry about, and it's mostly your fault.
Case in point: during the same episode last week, new host Candace Cameron Bure tripped over her own tongue in a panic to evacuate a minefield of political correctness.
I'd say the panic was needless, but this is a nationally-distributed talk show in 2015, so her reaction was actually pretty mindful of the times. Watch:
