Undue focus on things she's said

The section "The View" seems to be accumulating a lot of material about various things Goldberg has said on the show. This seems to be developing into undue focus on these topics (most of which are not about Goldberg herself). It's one thing to state that so-and-so has often been vocal about such-and-such topic, but another to report every controversial thing she's said. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 03:18, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lacking any objection, I've distilled that material to just the main points of each controversial statement. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 15:08, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It looks good. As she's on "The View", making controversial statements is part of her job. These sections can easily get bloated with a catalogue of all the controversial opinions ever expressed on the show. Nice to see it trimmed down. I hope you come by in a few months to do another pruning job. Cheers. Willondon (talk) 01:08, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Abortion Rights

Why no mention on how she is all for abortions? Here's the Youtube search results. https://www.youtube.com/results?q=whoopi+goldberg+abortion&sp=EgIQAQ%253D%253D 173.86.10.115 (talk) 23:13, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

keep your promise

she vowed to leave USA if Trump won.so when are you leaving ? soon we hope — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.88.249.197 (talk) 20:42, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Amen to that! She needs to keep her promise. Art Cancro (talk) 22:00, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
