This was the only talk show I still watched because it was nice to hear everyone be able to express their opinions & for the most part kept politics out of it. Well over the past few months that seemed to change. Then the day of the Sharon & Cheryl showdown that was the day they lost me as a viewer. Sharon stated she did not say she agreed with Pierce but supported him as a friend. For that she was called a racist. One of the things I liked about this show was the ability to express their opinion & agree to disagree. That day Sharon was persecuted for her opinion which was unfair..I felt like If Sharon was to be held accountable for what she said that day so should Cheryl for continuing to push the issue. Both should have been fired. Over time the good ones on the show have been pushed out or left so good riddance it was nice while it lasted it's just no longer enjoyable to watch. If I wanted all this drama I would watch The View.
