I didn’t watch Whoopi Goldberg and Jeanine Pirro plunge daggers into each other’s backs in real time. I caught up with it later.<\/p>\n

I am filled with a couple of thoughts I want to share.<\/p>\n

First, Goldberg has established herself on “The View,” a network TV show she co-hosts, as an ardent, vehement and feverish opponent of Donald J. Trump. Accordingly, Pirro — a former New York judge — has staked out her role on Fox News as an equally<\/em> ardent, vehement and feverish supporter<\/em> of the president.<\/p>\n

“The View” invited Pirro on the show to discuss, I presume, the state of affairs regarding the president.<\/p>\n

Didn’t anyone on the show — or on Pirro’s staff, for that matter — anticipate that these two foes\/enemies would end their confrontation in such a heated manner? Had it occurred to anyone, they might have thought better of inviting this kind of rage to present itself … on daytime television!<\/em><\/p>\n

Check it out here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Goldberg should be ashamed of herself for treating a guest<\/em> on the show in the manner that she did. However, I won’t join the right-wing media campaign to persuade ABC-TV to fire Goldberg and\/or cancel “The View.”<\/p>\n

But if there was any demonstration of the state of our political discourse these days, it revealed itself on a talk show that over the years has been a breeding ground for the co-hosts and their guests to vent their visceral anger at each other in ways that give “political debate” a bad name.<\/p>\n

Let’s settle down.<\/p>\n\n
