Barbara Walters died today, aged 93. [Story Here]
Ms. Walters is credited with blazing the trail for women in media. Walters legacy includes many facets, including the modern era launch of the most transparently biased interview technique in opinion journalism. Barbara Walters never let the details of a good story get in the way of her opinion of it.
Yeah, no. RIP for her soul, but she was just another MSM propagandist pushing the Establishment Narrative.
Dorothy Thompson was heading the NY Post’s foreign bureau in Germany before Barbara was born. Interviewed Hitler, expelled by NAZIs. The movie, Woman of the Year with Katherine Hepburn, loosely based on her career life.
Thompson on the power of propaganda, Hitler, and Martians.
“Hitler had armies to scare people with, Welles scared them with nothing.”
Fake News is the Enemy of the People.
Thou Shalt Not Lie
West in peace…
-loved Gilda Radner🤣
First thing I thought of.
Me too
First thing that came to mind was her admitting that she had to do a “Kamala Kneepad” from here on known as “K squared” to get an interview with some rag head in the middle east.
Elmer Fudd in drag.
Still get a laugh out of Gilda Radner. One of the best.
Elmer legs go branson shound be on the view.
Barbara Wawa.
Great comedy sketch, classic humor.
Back in the day when SNL was still watchable.
So true.
That was verwy, verwy mean!
Barbwa is wesponsible fow the view!
Pee-yoo!
Sorwy…
RIP Barbara Walters who did an incredibly condescending interview with Dolly Parton once.
Dolly took the high road, and made Ms Walters look pathetically limited as a result. Dolly Parton, because of open generosity far beyond her family, humor, and humility, is a much-loved local person in this Great Smokies area.
We all go to God sooner or later—may mercy reach us all.
The linked ABC article is interesting and fleshes out much more about this person’s character and background, strengths and vulnerabilities. Appreciate your linking that article, Sundance
One of my granddaughters asked her mother a while back who was the First Lady.
Without missing a beat or looking up from the book she was reading, her younger sister said, “Dolly Parton.”
Their mother said, “I’m not correcting that.”
🙂
Only would need correcting if moocheele obama was the answer.
I remember a big time comedian suddenly dieing after declaring what moocheels gender was.
Joan Rivers.
Dolly Parton does more to the benefit of humanity in a single day than most all of us could ever accomplish in a lifetime.
Barbwa and Dolly. Wow.
Wow…….what a lovely woman!
I met her one on one when I was 16.
She was real and took the time to talk with me a little.
Of course being a 16 year old young male actually meeting dolly made me weak in the knees and impressed.😉❤️
If I had met bawah I would have been impressed but not weak in the knees.😂😂
Dolly has a lot of class and intelligence.
Walters is a low class slag.
Walters: “When I think of hillbillies and I think of your kind of people“.
Just wow.
Just remember what kind of people she was from.
Hers have always hunted down and hated Dolly’s, my, kind. I’m not supposed to name them out loud, yet look how they say such vile things about us
Walters was such an elitist snob. Parton had more talent and class in her pinky finger than Walters had in her whole career, while leaving us with the miserable wretches on the View.
Well said
Ba Ba Wa Wa
RIP
I hope to outlive the psycho criminals who have turned our country upside down.
When HRC dies, I’m throwing a party.
I’ll bring the champagne
I’ll bring dip and chips.
I’ll bring the glasses and thirst
HRC is only the public face of the enemy just like Biden and not the brains only HRC doesn’t have dementia yet!
She’s too evil to die.
Vampire Vile Vixen…
She’ll continue on …sucking the life out of all she touches.
Paid staff will continue to chuck her chubby, stumbling corpse into the back of black SUVs.
Finally, one day, perhaps a century from now— a stake will be driven through the place where her heart should be. At last, they will chuck her into a crypt.
I’ll bring the shoe!
I lead the dancing!
she did..check realrawnews.com
Did she know Jesus as her Savior? A life of renown is pointless without knowing Christ.
Not likely. She’s from a Jewish heritage.
Yes that explains it.
Yes, well. God knows the heart.

Matt21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 ‘Many’ will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
This humbles me every time I read it. Even so come my King and Savior.
Yes, humbled indeed.
Most concise obituary I’ve ever read.
She missed all the already published “who we lost this year” lists.
Sympathy to those who loved her.
If you were a tree, what kind would you be? Now that was classic, before its time.
That’s the one I’ll remember her by..
No one has asked me, but I know the answer when they do: Tree of heaven. (Ailanthus altissima)
“Bawbwa Wawa” Gilda Radner RIP!
Helen Thomas in a fur-lined g-string is still way hotter.
I see that you drink.
Sometimes to excess.
Aaarrgghh!
How ironic – she was famous for getting her interviewees to cry on camera…..but most right thinking aware people will definitely not shed a tear for her.
93- years of age, an adulthood of misinformation.

Payback is a bi-itch.
A bad case of Bidenitis.
That is willy, willy wude of you!
I would say that all who come after her “generation” have even less of what she had.
Spent a lifetime lowering the bar for those who follow.
Spot on Sundance…..Just to Humanize Barbara Walters…for a momment
She revealed that a classic “Saturday Night Live” sketch poking fun at her speech impediment left her fuming….
“Baba Wawa” was Gilda Radner’s most famous impressions during the first season of “SNL” in 1975.
Her daughter, Jacqueline…then just 7
years old at the time ..said…Oh, mommy, where’s your sense of humor?
Walters soon changed her tune.
Years later, when Gilda died, She sent her husband Gene Wilder a
sympathy note and signed it Barbara Wawa,
Walters said “Gilda was so wonderful — the sketch immortalized me — but at the time I
wasn’t so thrilled…..
Even the classless can have classy moments.
So she died … is this supposed to be some sort of accomplishment? I mean, everybody dies … it’s no big deal. Dozens of people died in the Buffalo Blizzard of ’22 … now those are tragedies of note … or the four students in Idaho who were murdered … those are tragic deaths.
Ba ba wah wah … forgot she was still around … and in a few days, everyone will forget she even existed.
they wont let us….
Maybe she was a victim of the weather in Buffalo… To this day I miss Gilda Radner
This is the second time today I’ve had occasion to post this from Bob Marley…
“Don’t live for your presence to be noticed, but for your absence to be felt.”
Gilda made millions laugh, and she was adored by her husband, who felt her absence every day until he joined her. A wonderful couple.
I miss them both.
Second time I have read & upvoted this today.
I miss them both as well.
I miss a whole lot about the times when we laughed more, Magic….
Well they are together now.
Yes, they are.
💔 and yet 💕
Often told my kids that the news used to be serious news until so many women became news anchors and turned the news into gossip
that’s so true and it gets worse all the time. foxnews is the ultimate in gossip bs i think although i don’t turn on my tv unless i’m watching sports or b/w movies.
walter cronkite — serious news???? serious propaganda.
It may seem women wreck things. But I maintain stuff is handed off to women when the companies , the cities and the countries etc have been rung out and are on the way to the trash heap. Mostly women are brought to hold the bag and to fend off criticism for a time as others leave Dodge. imo
what were her pronouns?
Comrade!
They / them.
She called herself legion.
Wow! Some of you are vewy, vewy hawtwess…
BaBa WaWa, as early colleagues will remind, well employed the “round heels technique”
to gather support from men that occupied the upper echelon.
If no one told us, most wouldn’t have even known she was still alive until now.
Actually, that was my first thought.
And most wouldn’t have cared one way or the other.
I knew she hadn’t died but was surprised to see she was 93!
She had a lot of “work” done.
Barb having a heck of a time with norm Macdonald. Greatest view episode ever!!
Barbara had to have a stiff drink after that …
Love Norm MacDonald.
You must get paid per comment. Whew.
Sensoring of “wrong speak” taking place in that interview.
In her early years pre “The View” she was a decent reporrter. Still wonder if she really intended The View to get so radical.
RIP Barbara.
In her prime, she was the swamp ‘s velvet glove. While those left on the Disney plantation are straight up harpies.
Norm MacDonald on the View with Barbara Walters in 2000 when he repeatedly called Bill Clinton a murderer
And????
He got away with it. Everyone laughed.
Upon the death of Standard Oil magnate, John D. Rockefeller, his chief accountant was asked:
“How much did John D. Rockefeller leave behind?”
The answer was, “All of it.”
I once heard Billy Graham speaking live in a gigantic football stadium. At one point he said, “People ask me, Billy, when can I expect the world to end?”
He then said, “I always answer – The world will end for YOU the moment you die.”
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:19–20)
One less agenda-serving sycophant.
Wasn’t Walters one of the originators of that poc “The View” ?
She was awful. Anything for fame and my ney
Gods peace to her and her family. I leave it at that.
“The modern era launch of the most transparently biased interview technique”
Please elaborate, Sundance. Knowledge is power.
Sorry, not sorry.
The woman is dead so she is officially off the hook as far as I’m concerned.
May she roast in peace.
Well said, Sundance, as always.
Wonder who she left ‘selfie’ to in her will.
If you really want to know, google it, but trust me, you really, really don’t want to know.
everyone dies
“We thought that he was going to be – I shouldn’t say this at Christmastime, but – the next messiah.”
~ Walters on 0bama
Nuff said.
Ugh.. how disgusting!
I quit watching television news some time during the Vietnam War and quit watching television in general during the early 80’s after my children outgrew Sesame Street, so I know nothing about television and can’t feel a whole lot about Barbara Walters.
From reading other posters’ comments, I don’t think I missed too much.
In two weeks Barbra Walters will be remembered no more.
.
Leftist do not understand a life well lived, they never celebrate anything.
.
If Leftists make a big deal about a funeral it is only for the propaganda value of their “movement”.
.
As Rush Limbaugh always said, “Leftists are never satisfied, nothing is ever enough.”
.
Rush actually paid and independent accounting firm to audit his pronouncements, hunches and predications.
.
RUSH: As you know, the latest opinion audit on me from the Sullivan Group’s various branches offices Northern California has my accuracy rate documented to be almost always right 99.8% of the time.
.
So even Leftists will not celebrate all the deeds Barbara Walters did for their movement.
.
Her memory will quickly fade away…

Barbara praised Bashir Assad for how safe she felt on the streets of Damascus.
As more of the wealth and power of the world passes to women, the scales will tip toward fascism.
Women place a higher value on physical safety (who’s more likely to wear these silly facemasks?), and more profoundly, women have a different valuation for freedom of speech if it upsets people. Exhibit A, Donald Trump.
Woman place a higher value on physical safety, and real women live with real men, who make sure they have just that.
“hear, hear.”
As a toxic male…misogynistic, homophobic, islamaphobic, etc.., bigoted , and all the other names we’re called,
I DON”T CARE!
I don’t wear them as a badge of honor, I just wear them on my sleeve.
O… and I’m a racist too, as in I Love all races.
I’m been married to a real women for 38+ yrs. I love her. So don’t mess with her or you’ll find out what Love is!
Have a great day my friend,Dave (I appreciate yours and many others comments on here)
only thing which she said in her life I AGREE….
Ann Coulter on “The View” called her out:
as Walters was reading an excerpt from one of Ann’s books, Ann blurted out, “Yes, read it like Eva Braun”. (SHE WAS RIGHT!) Walters was stunned and befuddled, she argued about it taking great umbrage with a strong hint of hurt, Ann would not yield, Ann caught her and called her. Very Memorable.
And….
Barbara and Pelosi have something in common ( besides being “full figure” girls).
They’re both mob princesses. Barbara’s daddy ran The Stork Club at it’s heyday.
Well known to have mob connections.
Not a fan. She always was Fake News.
I guess if you can’t say something nice it’s better to say nothing at all. RIP
Ah, better to say what you have a mind to or, forever hold your peace.
She was a dishonest, smug, condescending, rotten hack of a hag that was elevated because,
1. She was female, which helped fuel the feminazi agenda.
2. Her father’s connections.
I’m guessing she knows what truth is by now.
Sad but when you do biased narrative news there’s simply no respect for her.
May all her sins be forgiven and may she be at rest in heaven tonight
Thoughts and prayers (lol).
Opinion journalism.
Just opinion without documented facts or inacurate facts.
Thats not journalism but jarganism.
Today the main stream media is jarganism and is mostly opinion based on political views controlled by direct portal to fbi/ hls/ biden regime.
Jarganism based on lies and propaganda.
Yep bawah never let the facts get in her way.
Her opinion was more important than the real story.
Her legacy is the view.
A liberal rag of woke people.
I remember cringing listening to her overbearing reports and OFFICIAL type of “reporting”.
Were is a real reporter like Dorthy Kilgallan?
There isn’t any.
Opinions like mine are important.
Get it.

nothing new under the sun.
As a kid I remember my mom HATED Barbara Walters. I grew up to understand why.
Not shedding any tears over this one…
The world is better off with one less Mockingbird in it, and I’m not referring to the winged creatures.
