MEDIA LOSER: Eric Bolling and David J. Harris Jr. Newsmax host Eric Bolling introduced a particularly sexist segment called “Date, Debate, Deport" on Thursday, during which podcaster David J. Harris Jr. recommended The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg be “deported” to Africa to better appreciate “what she has here in America.” Bolling presented three categories, "ladies of The View, ladies in the White House, and ladies on Capitol Hill," and asked Harris Jr. which of three chosen "ladies" he would "date, debate, or deport." The bit is a play on the popular and ridiculous “date, marry, kill” where people pick what they would hypothetically do to one of three typically famous people. The demeaning and sexist nature of the segment alone would be enough to deem Bolling today's loser. But Harris kicked i up a notch. The host started the segment off by using Goldberg, Joy Behar, and Sunny Hostin as the first three targets. “I think Whoopi just needs to be deported. I think she just needs to go over and actually spend some time in Africa and, maybe, she’ll learn to appreciate what she has here in America,” Harris said. Goldberg grew up in New York City. He also chose to date Hostin because she “maybe could be reached if the mood was right.” The segment continued in similar fashion, pretty much stripping accomplished women of their credentials by determining whether or not you would date them, and referring to them as "ladies." |
