[edit] Changes to introduction
This show has undergone some changes in co-hosts during 2006. Please keep in mind the style guide suggestions for a lead section (WP:LEAD) when making updates that reflect these co-host changes. Thanks 66.167.252.200 18:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Location of the View
I'm just wondering, this show is like the first thing I see on TV every morning when I wake up (though it frequently bores me to death), I just want to know if anyone has the location of the studio. I mean that would be interesting information that has not yet been mentioned in the article, and I would just want to know where the location of this show is. My guess would be Hollywood, CA, but then again I have seen this show occasionally I have found some NYC-bias in this show to, further growing my curiosity. Falconleaf
- WABC studios, 320 West 66th Street, downtown Manhattan. http://abc.go.com/daytime/theview/show.html -- ArglebargleIV 01:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank You now I can put that into the article. Falconleaf
[edit] Bias?
The View isn't a news show. It's a talk show, the purpose of which is for hosts to express their opinions. If the hosts have liberal opinions, that's not "bias" because there is no reasonable expectation of neutrality in this case. As such, I contend that the inclusion of this Bias section is unnecessary. Unless someone can give me a decent argument why it needs to be there, I intend to eliminate it. scola
Don't believe half of this bull these people put out. I am Native American and I am not impressesed with Rosie's Bashing our Country. If she had half a brain and a smaller mouth she could maybe not spout so much hatred towards our Military Men and Women who are protecting her fat ass while she sits out of harms way. She doesn't speak for all of us Americans and I wish these Democrats would quit saying all of the Great Citizens of this Country want us out of Iraq. She makes me almost ashamed of being Gay. Thanks God we have people like George Bush and Bill O'Reilly to help us through this difficult time. So Rosie why don't you shut our big fat mouth?
[edit] bias? 2
As a talk show, "The View" is subject to less scrutinization for bias. However, the accusations of its partisanship are noteworth nonetheless if only to advise the article's reader of a criticism that is very serious. I understand that not all accusations can be mentioned in Wikipedia articles, but considering that two of the current four hosts are outspoken "liberal" and there is only one conservative, the charges of bias are worth mentioning. At the very least, I suggest the allegations be merged with the "negative criticism" section of the article. Polysci
According to the wiki article The View uses biased liberal thinking in deciding co hosts, so why should it not be mentioned that the program itself is liberal biased ?
If Barabra Walters or "the panel" has decided that the next co host should be a minority. this is clearly liberal thinking, add Rosies daily liberal statements on top of that and The View is clearly liberal biased overall.
[edit] Negative criticism
... Is there positive criticism? I think this is a bit redundant. (QUINTIX 22:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC))
- Thanks for the "constructive criticism", which is now fixed, having been overlooked due to more blatant problems on the page. "Negative criticism" is akin to Yogi Berra's comment about his 1960 Yankees losing the Series: "We made too many wrong mistakes!" Wahkeenah 07:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] High Def
The HD broadcast is in 720p not 1080i am I not correct? From my understanding all ABC affiliates broadcast in 720p except one affiliate in Texas.
Given that this show is being broadcast in high definition, if they have a controversial guest and use the expression "warts and all", we might want to watch Regis and Kelly that day instead. Wahkeenah 04:11, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Confusing
This article seems like a mishmash of current and old information. It's quite confusing to read. In at least one section it seems as though Star Jones is still on the show, and in another it seems like replacements for her are still being considered. What's up?

- It's the "Wikipedia Camel" effect. A camel is said to be "a horse designed by a committee". So also (sometimes) with wikipedia articles. Wahkeenah 15:30, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed a statement from the introduction
I've removed the following sentence from the introductory section under the premise that it is most likely one person's opinion (there is no source for the statement) and it was rather poorly placed in its respective paragraph.
- However, with the addition of Rosie O'Donnell it has turned into "Rosie's View" a platform for the Democratic Party.
Additionally, the user that made this change made only this change, and this has been their sole contribution to Wikipedia.
If anyone here thinks I'm wrong in removing this claim, do as you will. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.40.172.245 (talk) 18:05, 23 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Thumbs up for Hasselbeck... on Marriage
Thumbs up for Hasselbeck... on MarriageI am so glad to see someone stand up to these Women about Morals.. Way to Go Elisabeth Hasselbeck... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.160.213.205 (talk) 05:41, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
- If Glenn Beck were to come on the show, would anyone Hasselbeck? Wahkeenah 11:39, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Wahkeenah, you are an idiot.
- May I not quote you? Wahkeenah 01:35, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
The talk page is not an approved area for general discussion, it is for improvements to the article. Please refrain from posted unrelated comments. ~adropofreason

[edit] Intimidation from Bill O'Reilly and Fox News
Several months ago Rosie and Joy alluded to Bill O'Reilly's sexual harassment lawsuit. This is what happened next according to Rosie at rosie.com:
| “ | when joy and i
alluded to bill oreillys sex scandal on the view we were told the following day that we couldn’t bring it up anymore or else bill o would “go after” all the hosts of the view |
