Ratings: ‘View’ Loses Ground to Rivals, Including Fox’s ‘Outnumbered’
“The View,” ABC’s increasingly troubled daytime all-female, left-wing gab-fest, might finally be on its last legs. After a series of personnel changes that would make the late-Billy Martin’s head spin, “The View” is now shedding viewers while similar shows on
