Walters is as serious a journalist as Rosie

I don’t watch The View. That’s the Barbra Walters inspired morning talker with four hens all clucking like Henny Penney about things they know very little about. So I don’t watch. But lately who can NOT watch. The View has become the staple of every other news show in America mainly for the outrageous and factually incorrect things that are said on that show – usually from emanating from the clueless Rosie O’Donnell. So ill informed is Rosie that her name has become a euphemism for stupidity. Like, “You have to be kidding, right? Or have you seriously gone Rosie on me?”

Producers of the show surround Rosie with a bunch lemming guests and co-anchors and they must screen the audience to make sure each has been recently lobotomized to insure they applaud when the sign is lit. How could thinking people sit and listen to this idiocy without throwing up. First there was the Trump thing – WHO CARES? Two rich fools trying to show America they can be the biggest buffoon. Then Rosie compared Christian “hate” with the Muslims who are blowing things up all over the world – ooops sorry DemoRATS, heads buried deeply in the sand, want no mention of a Global War on Terror. But who cares and besides it’s the Christian nature to turn the other cheek. Then there was the impeach Bush stuff. Fine, Rosie is no dumber than about 75% of the public that have not the slightest idea of how our government works. But then there was the “The US Government had to have brought down the WTC because there was a federal investigation into Enron being conducted there.” Rosie is not a structural engineer and didn’t even stay at a Holiday Inn before announcing that fire cannot melt steel. Really? Well how then do they shape steel into all of the useful things that we use everyday, oh Keeper of All Knowledge?

Now there is something insidious and evil about a person that is so willfully uninformed, or just so angry that they would go on national TV and make such charges. And so who are the losers in all of this? Rosie for sure, but she is laughing all the way to the bank and will continue to make millions speaking to DemoRATS across the nation. ABC is in the same boat. The corporate suites there have to know that Rosie is an unhinged lunatic spouting non-sense but they let it go because the bottom line is what is important to them. Lemming co-anchors as well because they either support Rosie’s lunatic rantings or are too weak to stand up to the overweigh gasbag. This includes Barbra Walters who supposedly was a “respected” news person – insert oxymoron joke here. Walters can no longer be taken seriously.

Have a blessed Easter.
