Scandals, and a more divided political environment. The producers of “The View” actively advertised Robert De Niro’s participation on the program.
De Niro’s visit was anticipated to attract people anxious to hear his perspective on the present situation of the country, since he is well-known for his candid political opinions,
particularly his condemnation of former President Donald Trump. But the result was quite different from what the makers had expected.
De Niro’s section seems to have had the reverse impact of increasing ratings. Social media was used by viewers to voice their displeasure with the show.
While some were turned off by the political language that dominated the debate, others thought the actor’s presence overpowered the show’s normal structure.
The reaction was swift and severe. Negative comments were all over social media, with many of them criticizing the show’s use of divisive personalities to increase viewership.
