If you thought daytime television was a harmless way to sip coffee and catch up on current events, think again. “The View,” once a platform for female voices discussing hot-button topics, has increasingly become the epicenter of controversy, misstatements, and what one critic brutally describes as “IQ-reducing television.” At the heart of the uproar? Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts—repeatedly panned for tone-deaf commentary, historical inaccuracies, and unchallenged political rants.

The latest firestorm erupted when Whoopi Goldberg infamously claimed on-air that the Holocaust “wasn’t about race.” Not only did she double down on the statement, but she also delivered it with the casual air of someone discussing the weather. Viewers were stunned. Critics were livid. Historians were baffled. For those even remotely familiar with the Holocaust, the Nazi regime’s racial ideology targeting Jews was central to its genocidal campaign. Whoopi’s assertion that it was merely “man’s inhumanity to man” felt like a dangerous whitewashing of history.

One particularly scathing critic, himself Jewish and outspoken about antisemitism, didn’t hold back. He called the comment delusional and described Goldberg as “obnoxious and stupid beyond all measure.” He didn’t stop at her Holocaust blunder—he took viewers on a tour of her greatest hits, including her past racist remarks, tone-deaf political takes, and a consistent pattern of intellectual laziness.

And he wasn’t alone.

Social media exploded. Commentators across platforms called for accountability. But, like many incidents on “The View,” the backlash faded into the background, replaced by the next viral gaffe. No real consequences. No retractions. Just more defiant statements and smug justifications. According to this critic, this wasn’t a mistake—it was a symptom of a deeper issue plaguing the show: a commitment to outrage over truth, and narrative over facts.

The same critic pointed out how co-host Joy Behar, often seen as the show’s comedic elder, somehow manages to deliver takes that veer from cringeworthy to outright racist—while trying to sound “woke.” In one clip, Behar made an argument so racially tone-deaf that it left viewers speechless. Another host suggested that only women should speak on pregnancy and fetal rights—while somehow forgetting that this contradicts progressive ideas about gender identity.

The show, according to this scathing review, has become a full-blown performance of contradiction, hypocrisy, and echo-chamber delusion. He accuses the cast of fake unity, where even the most outrageous comments go unchallenged. He describes a culture where stepping out of line risks cancellation—not from the audience, but from the group dynamic itself. The show, in his words, is less about conversation and more about staged, self-congratulatory monologues.

But it’s not just the ignorant comments about the Holocaust or awkward racial commentary. According to critics, “The View” has become a launching pad for morally confused comparisons. One host even likened the United States and Israel to terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Taliban. The backlash to this remark was swift and brutal. The comparison was not only offensive, but deeply misleading—and yet again, there was no pushback from producers, no fact-checking, and certainly no correction on-air.

The View’s critics argue that the show has abandoned all sense of journalistic integrity. Instead of facilitating challenging but honest discourse, it relies on outrage, shock value, and narrative manipulation to drive views and online engagement. And the most damning part? It’s working.

The critic’s frustration boils over when he discusses how “The View” has essentially turned into a “human repository of stupidity.” He’s amazed by how casually these co-hosts toss out historically incorrect, morally suspect, or outright absurd takes—and how the rest of the panel either nods along or pretends not to notice. No debate, no facts—just tribal affirmations of the day’s designated talking point.

One particularly biting moment came when Goldberg launched into a tirade about men having no say in fetal matters. Her logic, the critic noted, was not only grossly reductive but also accidentally transphobic by modern progressive standards. She suggested only those with eggs should have an opinion on pregnancy—effectively excluding trans men and post-menopausal women. The critic couldn’t resist pointing out that by her own political camp’s rules, Goldberg had just “canceled herself.”

This is the contradiction that keeps “The View” spiraling into chaos: hosts who claim to champion progressive causes, but continually say things that undercut those very values. The critic sees it as pure theater—activism without substance, moral posturing without coherence.

At the root of his frustration is a central question: How are these women still on TV? With each passing controversy, the critic argues that ABC’s refusal to step in has made the network complicit. There’s no editorial oversight, no fact-checking, no real-time correction. Just a runaway train of inflammatory nonsense.

And still, the ratings hold.

That’s the paradox that infuriates critics the most. Despite its frequent forays into controversy, misinformation, and offensive rhetoric, “The View” remains a cultural staple. But to this critic—and many viewers growing weary of its antics—that success doesn’t make it right. It just proves how broken the conversation has become.

At the end of the day, the critic longs for one moment: to be invited onto the show. Not for the fame, but for the takedown. He imagines five minutes on that set would be enough to dismantle the entire charade, expose the contradictions, and force the echo chamber to finally confront reality.

Until then, “The View” remains exactly what he calls it: not a conversation, but a circus.
