I love Barbara Walters and all she has created over the years, her objectivity, fairness, and, yes kindness. When Barbara created the View it was interesting and informative, and uplifting, and for EVERYONE! I turn it on occasionally hoping they will return to information we all care about, extend some kindness, and brighten my day. I will NEVER turn it on again, It has deteriorated to the lowest level of meanness, and today, propelled me to post my opinion of The View and the participants...which I never do. They are now just MEAN GIRLS, and smiling all the way as they continue to undermine, demean and relentlessly tarnish whomever they do not agree with and do not like. One after the other just now, as in the past, they said such unkind comments about Melania Trump and her recent holiday pronouncements. I am just so very disappointed in The View. I wonder what Barbara thinks about what she created, and how it has evolved and continually shouts out negativity and unkindness to the world. So sorry to post this, but I must!
