I am furious, sick, disgusted!!! I need to do something !!
No you didn't miss it, they never said one word about it. Can you believe that?

Oh this does not surprise me. Barb walters is so phony and doesnt want to discuss this since she knows she lied. They think they'll just Ignore it, i guess. What a bunch of idiots!
~L
they wimped out.
Not a word was said.
I think that baba wawa just couldn't trust Star (or herself for that matter) not to open her yap and say something assinine and decided it better not to discuss it to get everyone all riled up again. Reminds me of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all..." I haven't watched in forever, and what I watched yesterday reminded me why...

Why did they bother to promise to discuss it the next day then? Well, I think they really were going to discuss it, but then it came to light in the Jimmy Kimmel show the night before that Barbara Walters had lied, so it would be too embarassing for her to bring the whole thing up again? Her only argument was that it was the guy at the plane who was uncomfortable with NIP - not her... Lying is bad, but even worse when a reporter does it

I think we got "bumped" by Madonna


and yes, the Jimmy Kimmel thing was a tough clip to put a "spin" on...

I will tape it today.... again! Maybe they wanted to wait until Meredith was back because she seems like an BF advocate?

I still think it would be a terrific topic for them to discuss if they do it right!

Nothing today either. I think we scared Babs. they may not give out transcripts from the show but JIMMY nailed her with the taped evidence!!! :LOL

It's going to be swept under the rug, you know there's more important things to discuss...said tongue in cheek......Tom & his crazy jumping couch tricks, Michael the sicko......
Disappointing...

I watched it Wed and nothing was said, so I watched it today Thursday and nothing said again about nurse-in and BW wasn't there. The only thing that was said was how breastfeeding you can still get pregnant and Elizabeth saying how she needs to get with her dh and Star said they would babysit so she could get her groove on with her dh for the evening without baby.

I'm so gald I never watch this show (except when this all came up). It's just too annoying to listen to stuff, I'll just stick to mdc!

I feel the same exact way. Journalists make a living busting ppl for lying, and here BW turns around and does JUST that... talk about being an hypocrite. I get the feeling the ABC publicists advised them not to discuss the BF thing... b/c basically BW is like a deer caught in the headlights. We ALL know she lied and the proof is right there, if she had not lied, I bet they probably would have talked about it on the show, but since she was caught in a lie, I am thinking the execs think it is better to let this one blow over on its own (which of course ticks ME off!). I think it makes the show look bad that they said they would talk about it, and then wimped out... I think it makes them look especially unprofessional. I even watched today's show to make sure that they wouldn't talk about it today. Of course, I should have slapped myself in the head, b/c today elisabeth made some retarded comment about how jealous she was of her DH spending time with the baby and not paying attn to her. That's what I get for watching.
My DH heard elisabeth's comment today too and said, "I think all the woman on that show are REALLY self absorbed." I must say, I agree with him. I think it's WONDERFUL that elisabeth's DH is spending time with the baby, I thought that is what all moms wanted.

Well maybe they just won't bring up breastfeeding at all anymore. It really is a shame that they just can't address that she straight out lied. However, I think in the case of The View not discussing breastfeeding anymore at all is probably a good idea because every time it is brought up someone says something stupid.

YES! I DID notice that, and I was trying to figure out if it *was* b/c they knew BW was lying, b/c there didn't seem to be anything else going out that would be funny.
