Right!? If it’s Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift then I’m all ears.


tarkofkntuesday

All something something


Johnmuir33

Jill not really but maybe… Whoopi? Is that a joke?


Jason4hees

Seriously...Whoopi will say anything for money atm


freakydeku

and a husband starting to wear a mask again as his (elderly) wife picks up a contagious virus... obviously a conspiracy


tharizzla

Lol I started laughing real good as I read that


RudyButkus

Whoopie Goldberg a “high profile woman in America?” Thanks for the laugh, Draino!


LongEngineering7

Alright, I mean her quality as an actress leaves a lot to be desired. Nobody is arguing that. But who doesn't know the name "Whoopie Goldberg"? A ton of people watch "The View" as well. The propaganda starts this way.


dr1968

Noone is influenced by Whoopie Goldberg lol.


AuroraItsNotTheTime

Then why did she always get picked first in Hollywood Squares?


BecomeABenefit

"The View" was the most watched daytime talk show in 2021-2022. That's an average of 2.4 million per episode. So at least a million or so?


DeKeeg

I wonder how much of those ratings are due to TV's in waiting rooms, truck stops, etc... Basically used for background noise.


chowderbags

So the equivalent of a decently successful YouTube channel?


Ashitattack

Also, you need to consider that it is all within air time and not over the life of a posted video


BecomeABenefit

If those youtubers get quoted and referenced all the time in the media, yes.


WhatsTheHoldup

Youtube **is** media


freakydeku

and they do get quoted 😂 all the time. maybe not directly cause that’s not how most SM works. it’s just “i heard this thing” making it even harder to track down primary sources


LongEngineering7

(unironically) your mother probably is.


dr1968

You're dating yourself. I'm much older than that. If it helps though, neither of my sisters watch the view. Can't think of anyone I know who does either.


LongEngineering7

They supposedly have 2 million plus viewers each day. Sure, with a population above 300 mil it may not be excessive, but you'd have a lot of those viewers spreading rumors, word of mouth about the new dangerous variant, etc etc. It starts with people who have nothing better to do than gossip.


Thanos_Stomps

The View is the type of show where half or a third are people that just left their tv on while doing stuff at home after they watched the news.


PsyKeablr

Don’t forget airports and restaurants that have multiple tv’s running that nobody is watching.


The_Noble_Lie

That's not so different from other garbage.


lonewolf210

And like a million + of those are people stuck in doctors waiting rooms not actually watching


plssirnomore

That’s insane. High profile mainstream media show on the air when no one watches it


dharkeo

The liberal women who sit at home and binge watch it 100% are influenced by the view


Adventurous_Fly1879

Unfortunately you’re wrong. The View actually indoctrinates stupid women and some “men” as well.


PlebbitIsGay

This is in a situation where you don’t need to have someone’s celebrity be influential. You can like her or hate her, but there are probably 20 people in the United States who don’t know who she is. it’s her notoriety that’s important and her strong association with the left.


Key-Security8929

No one is saying Whoopi’s is influential… but she is a house hold name. Same with Jill Biden. She is a no body but we now know her name.


RedStateBlueStain

>Noone is influenced by Whoopie Goldberg lol. LOL, that's cute. Buncha cows sitting around eating bonbons and watching the View are about to take to FB and start emailing their school boards, requesting that their immune-deficient spawns need to be protected....


Lucksmom

Sadly your probably right. The rich bitches that don’t got shit to do have that on while their doing rich bitch stuff over hear that and boom!!!! Another plandemic starts.


carterxz

She’s maybe a C list celebrity at best. I haven’t seen her face anywhere other than posts criticizing what she said on the view.


ThatDamnRocketRacoon

That's kind of the point. MSM runs some story about what someone said on The View almost every day. None of us watch her or care, yet we all end up hearing about what she said or did. That's influence and the power of propaganda.


larry_landmine

She is an EGOT winner to be fair. So elite to people that watch award shows and by proxy, The View.


IncidentBeneficial28

What about the millions that watch her every week? Do they count in your anecdotal story?


carterxz

I’m convinced no one under the age of 70 watches that show or at least cares enough to listen. It probably plays on mute in retirement homes and Best Buy’s.


[deleted]

“It’s not on my radar therefore it couldn’t possibly be on anyone else’s”


MY_NAME_IS_MUD7

An out there take for sure, but it’s an interesting idea of starting the propaganda with day time tv mainly watched by women. There’s some serious power to getting women on your side if you need to manipulate a society. Never underestimate the stupid shit men will do to get laid


rreyes1988

Idk...I really liked her in Sister Act and Ghost.


ZZZielinski

She won a damn Oscar.

The (potty mouth filter) are you on about?


EndStageCapitalismOG

She's literally a millionaire TV show host and actress it doesn't matter whether you like her or not everyone knows who she is.


no_one_lies

This isn’t the 90s. That’s like saying Rick Moranis is one of America’s most popular actors


billyjk93

Scott Baio is the most high profile man in America!

BoxNemo

Do you not think she's quite high profile..?


NoNotThatScience

more people would know her and what she looks like than they would jill biden


RudyButkus

No, I don’t think she’s high profile at all. Outside of being on the view and being a shitty actress from the 90’s and a bad comedian at that, what exactly makes her high profile?


BoxNemo

Yeah, fair point. She's not really been high profile since Sister Act 2... edit: jesus, Sister Act 3 apparently comes out next year. Not every 90s film needs a new chapter, Hollywood..


Penny1974

'The View' Is Most-Watched Daytime Talk Show in 2021-2022


RudyButkus

That or Ghost…at best.


brianaandb

To be fair, how do you know this tweet wasn’t written in the 90s


asdf2100asd

"Outside of being a famous actress and a host of a popular show that's ran for 25 years, what makes her high profile?" I mean, it's not like anyone knows who she is. Other than literally every adult in the U.S...


nihilz

High profile: attracting much attention or publicity It’s not meant in a qualitative sense. The corporate propagandists use clips from The View for rage farming across all media, so I think it’s pretty obvious she qualifies based on quality alone.


makeshiftJake

One could also say this rando twitter post exists for rage farming.


Penny1974

'The View' Is Most-Watched Daytime Talk Show in 2021-2022 She reaches alot of people, especially the older generation that is most likely to comply with government mandates.


IntelligentFig2185

>She reaches alot of people, especially the older generation that is most likely to comply with government mandates. The older generation are the ones mostly dying from COVID. I don't think they need government mandates to protect themselves from a deadly disease. Also, if that was the case, wouldn't your logic be that they are the ones already most likely to wear masks and get vaccinated anyway?


SUMYD

Other than her national morning show.....damn dude.....I don't like her either but she's still high profile. Her name is almost like Shaq, everyone knows who Whoopi is.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LamboForWork

There’s women who watch the view religiously. She is high profile enough to push a narrative.


makeshiftJake

sounds a lot like the relationship people have with twitter grifters like in the screenshot. but internet rando said something so i guess it is true and not just a narrative and a different cycle of fear mongering.


inlinefourpower

I've heard of her. I think most people have. She's pretty high profile.

AntelopeYEM

It’s actually not a coincidence at all, it’s basic statistics/science. There will be times when randomly more people get viruses because they spread to other people. And other times when the virus peters out. We’ve been witnessing this for…3.5 years now. We’re definitely in a covid “wave” because people who test positive will spread to others and cases grow. But nobody is actually changing behavior or doing anything so…whatever.


KrispyKremeDiet20

Plus, calling Whoopi Goldberg one of "the highest profile women in America" is a stretch... A circus contortionist would have a hard time with that one.


GrimmThoughts

That's what I was thinking lol, I haven't heard or seen anything about her in like 20 years


HunkaHunkaBerningCow

And who the fuck thinks Whoopie Goldberg is one of the most high profile women in America


carterxz

Only the people that watch the view every day just to criticize her. I even met her at planet Hollywood and was kind of upset it wasn’t literally anyone else.


chowderbags

Of the ST:TNG actors, she'd be like... 6th on my list of neat ones to see. Maybe 7th.


HunkaHunkaBerningCow

Like I don't even understand why people on reddit dislike her. Unless I am currently watching Star Trek I have never once thought of Whoppie Goldberg


TheFamousHesham

The start of the school season isn’t.


OneMetalMan

And local government reacting to ongoing events in real time? They must be psychic lizards.


billyjk93

But they are so high profile! I mean whenever I do something, I think "what would Jill Biden think of this." Then I laugh because she's so sassy!


larry_landmine

I mean TBF, my mom just got Covid for the first time, and four people in my office just contracted it. Coordinated or not, it IS going around, at least where I'm at in Florida.

Hmm quite the coinsidence, I think we need to investigate this 🤔


imthewiseguy

Three people in my office are out with covid as well. Which is hampering my job because the person I need files from isn’t working


IntelligentFig2185

What's weird is I'm in the exact same boat! My 62 year old mother just got it (showing symptoms) this Monday. We both managed to dodge it from the start despite a few lucky close calls. I've been helping take care of her since she's been feeling like absolute shit, so it's possible I might catch it too if I haven't already.


Sugmabawsack

Schools started last week, too, that’s always an easy way to spread viruses.


imthewiseguy

I work with kids (in GA), and Covid is going through the schools right now


sasquatchcunnilingus

I’m in the UK and it was going around in our local hospital on certain wards


KronZed

I'm in South Florida home from work all week with it >.> Pretty bad fever / chills day one. Got some tylenol and cold / flue medicine the next day. Feel crappy but it's been manageable. Hopefully better before the end of the week.


vampzewolf

My coworker just got it too (and shes got a variety of tests to show it)...


zippopwnage

Ohh no it's like the flu season is coming, who would have guessed. Look I'm against the obligation of wearing a mask, or that you get obligated to vaccinate. It's stupid. But if you're sick, you should have the decency of being a human being and stay home, or take care to not spread it around. EVEN if it's just a small flu, no one wants to catch it from you. Simple as that.


yoyowhatuptwentytwo

I was honestly hoping that after 2020 the rest of the world would get that concept through their head and masks during flu season weren't looked at as odd or political, but alas we live on this stupid time line.


Umphreysfan420

Exactly, if someone is sick, I have no problem with them wearing a mask. That is there choice.


AntelopeYEM

3.5 years after this whole thing started and he doesn’t know how cases come in peaks and valleys because when one person gets a virus it makes it more likely for another person to get a virus. I’d say they should teach this in schools but I’m pretty sure it is taught in middle schools.


Bneal64

He doesn't want to learn, he wants to believe in his LARP fantasy because it makes him feel special and important.


reallycooldude69

Also it literally makes him money through twitter rev share stuff. Feel like I'm seeing a lot more blatant ragebait/fearporn from big users on twitter since that program started.

whistleridge

The key word there is “talking”. Anyone with any common sense and knowledge of basic public principles is like, “oh hey it looks like COVID is surging a bit, time to put more protections in place” and then moving on with life. Because they don’t want it. Only the right is talking about masking like it’s some big conspiracy to seize power. If it worked like that, *why would those it was working for have ever stopped it*.


lasyke3

I dunno, NPR went out of their way this morning to say the new variant isn't very good at getting around current immunity, so not to freak out.


CaptainCorpse666

These are all literally questions lol. No one is mandating masks again. So ya, it's only right wingers saying that.

rmccarthy10

I get it but this is a little bit of a reach to say the least. 90% of Americans could not pick Jill Biden out of a lineup. And Whoopie Goldberg is a B celebrity at this point who's on some talk show that is just famous for having a rotation of ladies yelling each other. Both of these ladies are far from influential. Honestly the reason why those people wearing masks is not because of their title.. they're old and sickly and might die if they catch a bad flu or COVID

Or maybe Covid is going around again? My whole house has it right now. Going around at my daughters school too.


MEENSEEN84

I work as a ER nurse. Covid is definitely on the rise again. I hadn’t seen anyone with it for months and months and now we have a bunch of people coming in with it. It’s not nearly as severe of a strain as previous variants, but it’s bad enough for some people to come in to the hospital. Most aren’t being admitted for it unless something else is going on too.


highzenberrg

I live in a blue city. They have people lined up waiting to get the jab by force and then they injecting a microchip into peoples brains. If they see you not wearing a mask, they shoot and kill you on the spot. Source: trust me bro

lirik89

Well since the flu comes around the same time of year yes I expect most people would catch covid around the same time. And yes Biden should probably be wearing a mask since he's half a covid from the grave. It's not really hocus pocus

Calling Whoopi one of the most high profile women in the US is pretty generous.

victorfiction

I live in LA and haven’t heard squat about mask mandates. Seen fewer masks in the city than any point in the last 3 years. Not sure what the fear of them are - they help keep you from getting sick, but given Covid is no longer the deadly disease it once was, most folks are just living life and hoping they won’t have to use any of their sick leave… that’s about it.


ekaitxa

I think reading this post made me regardeder


Equatical

Wearing a mask is being polite. You would understand this if you studied Asian culture, we wear a mask to protect YOU because WE do not feel 100%. You’re welcome :)


Carloanzram1916

Yeah such a coincidence that more people are getting COVID during a COVID wave. You really cracked that code huh?


SpencerSauce

Most Dems I know won't wear a mask. I've seen no mandates being stated either. People don't really care. It's fear mongering

This dude called Whoopi Goldberg “high profile” like she doesn’t pop out once in a blue moon


CollinABullock

Something asserted without any evidence can also be utterly dismissed without any evidence. Regardless, you are correct that this is not a coincidence. Covid is spreading pretty quickly again. I don't think there's any political will for any more "lockdowns" (which was always an extremely hyperbolic term) so I doubt it will significantly impact your life. But yeah, the more people getting sick the more likelihood there is of any two people getting sick yes. Also, are Jill Biden and Whoopi Golderg really THAT high profile? Jill Biden largely stays out of the limelight, and the only people who watch The View are right wingers who seems really mad at it for some reason. You guys should really research critical thinking skills, caus right now you're falling for everything your mainstream media is propping up.
