The View avoids discussing Whoopi Goldberg's suspension over her controversial Holocaust comments

Deadline

“You all saw the news. Whoopi will be back here in two weeks," Joy Behar said at the top of today's show amid a report that The View co-hosts are furious over Goldberg's two-week suspension, announced last night. After Behar's comments, The View panelists moved on to other topics. Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter reports, Goldberg's suspension has divided employees at ABC News. Some felt ABC News had to take action. "But within ABC, and among the media commentariat, the perspective that action needed to be taken was not universally shared," says The Hollywood Reporter's Alex Weprin. "Another ABC source said that they felt Goldberg’s sincere apology was enough, especially considering her original remarks weren’t delivered out of hate. It’s a point of view that was shared elsewhere, including by Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, who appeared on Tuesday’s View to discuss Goldberg’s comments."
