• Barbara Walters Thinks 'The View' Is Toxic, Refuses to Return

    Ever since Barbara Walters left her seat at the table on ABC's "The View" last spring, the show has been in a slump. The powers-that-be seemed to truly believe that if they brought in a bunch of new blood they could bring it back to being the solid morning chatfest that once dominated its time slot. Instead, their on-air talent has clashed and chaos behind the scenes has created an even bigger mess that has translated into even lower ratings. After months of clashing with Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell just announced that she will be leaving and the producers are scrambling to try and save the show. The problem is that the environment is so toxic that even Walters refuses to return.
