What Nicolle Wallace's firing as day-to-day panelist on THE VIEW teaches us.

Headline from the DEADLINE.com site:

Nicolle Wallace Axed As ‘The View’ Regular After Proving Herself Insufficiently Shrill And Kardashian Illiterate

Whether or not one shares Wallace's conservatism (I don't), it's educational about how the morning show THE VIEW programs viewers to accept comic-book Sort-Of-Left/Right confrontationalism about "Hot Topics" ("good television" over thoughtful discussion) and why Elisabeth Hasselbeck proved to be a hit on the show as a Loyal Opposition caricature--which propelled her to the Big Time of Fox News.

Now, Nicolle Wallace can decide whether or not to take a demotion to recurring status.
