I'm not a huge Rosie O'Donnell fan. I thought she did add a lot of content to the usually content-free 'The View'. But I also thought of her appearances that she both brought good points, but that she didn't defend them particularly well. It's possible that she was holding back a little because the show is supposed to have a lighter tone.
Anyway, what's happening now with Fox Noise just piling on her is a new low for the news network. This most recent character assassination session between O'Reilly and Trump was particularly disgusting. They call her a monster and throw other crass epithets around, all while she is not present to defend herself. At one point O'Reilly does try and interject some actual facts by quoting a Fox Noise viewers poll that shows Rosie has worse approval numbers than Bush. Wow, you don't say. Fox Noise viewers hate Rosie. Surprise, surprise.
I thought her decision to leave early was a little gutless. But now I just feel sorry for her. She is on the wrong end of the spearhead of the far right wing spin machine. And that spin machine, since it can no longer support Bush and his policies and retain it's audience, spends all of it's time slamming critics of Bush's insane policies.
