(The Loop21) — When View co-host Whoopi Goldberg jumped into the Gibson fray by declaring that he was a friend and thereby from her vantage point, “not racist,” (despite the myriad of racial slurs Gibson has allegedly been caught on tape using,) she sparked a backlash almost as big as that of Gibson himself. But it was not the first time that Goldberg had experienced the verbal equivalent of stepping in dog-do since joining the daytime gabfest. While the show has long thrived on publicity and controversy (everyone remember the Elisabeth versus Rosie smackdown?) since signing on Goldberg and fellow newbie, Sherri Shepherd, in particular appear to have permanently disproved the age-old adage, “all press is good press.”
