Barbara Walters feels ABC execs have ‘ruined’ legacy of ‘The View’

Barbara Walters thinks ABC execs have ­ruined “The View” and fears the show will be ­remembered for its petty backstage bickering and revolving door of talent.

“She feels they’ve ruined the franchise that she and Bill Geddie built. Instead of focusing on smart, educated women with strong talent, they cast uninformed child actors on the show. The legacy has been compromised because of poor casting and bad leadership under ABC News,” a source told us.

Walters is so over the show that she even ditched a post-election appearance, which reunited original hosts, Debbie Matenopoulos, Meredith Vieira, Joy Behar and Star Jones. Walters’ longtime rep told us she was vacationing with her daughter in Florida. “It was a prearranged vacation for the two of them. She calls the control room multiple times a week to offer her suggestions. She has a wonderful relationship with the show,” she said.

Jill Stein is enough of a loony to be a host on the view.

All great comments, never thought of The Great Megan Kelly. She is soooo in love with herself and has such hate for Trump. Kelly would be a great fit to sit with that trash.

The liberal bias of Behar and Goldberg ruined the show.

Have not seen much of the view. Mostly when O'rielly shows clips. I think it was probably ruined from the beginning. Just hot air bags babbling trying to hold on to a careers that have long past them.

Liberalism killed the view. (But illuminated the cray cray)

Anytime you have liberals running the show that cannot tolerate any other view but their own, it's bound to hurt or destroy the brand of a show poised as opinion television.
