After calling for a “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” yesterday, Donald Trump sat down with Barbara Walters, his personal friend of many years, for an interview on ABC’s World News Tonight. Walters asked Trump the tough questions, like “Do you regret your ban on Muslims, which some people think is un-American?” and “Are you a bigot?”

Famous blonde actress Scarlett Johansson was featured as one of Barbara Walters's Most Fascinating People last night, because who cares, why not? In the interview, however, Johansson revealed that one thing about her is decidedly not fascinating: her flesh and blood.

Remember how Barbara Walters was supposed to retire, and then she was like, "No I'm retiring from The View," and then she showed up on that show several more times? I just want you to consider the source of this information first.

After 53 years on television, Barbara Walters is retiring today (or something). For the 84-year-old's final appearance on the show she helped create and will continue to executive produce, The View, about two dozen women in broadcast journalism joined her onstage to honor the woman who helped pave their way in broadcast journalism, and tell Walters, "Goodnight, Moon!" one last time in front of cameras (maybe). Oprah was there! So was Gayle (of course). Kathie Lee and Hoda seemed sober. Elisabeth Hasselbeck wept.

Last night, the final episode of Barbara Walters' Most Fascinating People aired (she's retiring in 2014), and she seemed completely ready to be done. She wasn't nearly as goofy as last year, and her resting face is a scowl. Babs is tired.

The bosses at ABC have struck Edward Snowden from the top of the list of people worthy of mention on the special "Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of the Year." He'll have to settle for runner-up.

On Monday, 83-year-old Barbara Walters officially announced her retirement from television (“special occasions” aside) on The View, a show about yelling she created in 1997 at the age of 68. She’s not officially planning to retire until the summer of 2014, she’s just giving everyone a year’s notice so that they can start planning a truly tasteful “Bye Barbara, Love, Television” party for her.

Monday morning on The View, Barbara Walters will announce that she's officially retiring from journalism next summer.

Barbara Walters will retire in 2014, thus ending a once trailblazing career that became mostly just celebrity worship.

A couple weeks ago, when Barbara Walters slipped and cut her head while leaving a party at the British Ambassador's house, we were all secretly jealous of her because knowing British people is so fancy.

Barbara Walters has been hospitalized after falling on a stair and hitting her head at the British Ambassador's home.

Come next week, we'll get to see with our own eyes if the pop-culture feud of 2012 is as fake as it seems when American Idol begins its 12th season featuring Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj on its judging panel. But until then, we'll just have to take their word for it. Nicki has already weighed in, and Mariah got an extended chance to do so last night on Nightline when she sat down with the always daffy Barbara Walters.

Barbara Walters landed the first post-election interview with the Obamas, and she used the opportunity to focus exclusively on the important issues of the day. Just kidding-she went straight for the juicy stuff.

Barbara Walters' annual 10 Most Fascinating People special aired last night. Here's the list. I'm sure you'll find it fascinating. (Spoiler: David Petraeus was her No. 1. Also, Honey Boo Boo made the cut, but unfortunately, she did not sit down to sass and yawn at Babs in an interview.)

Today on The View, things got a little saucy when Emmy Award winner/lady in the street/freak in the sheets Barbara Walters started to share a story about her own forays into the world of 50 Shades of Grey:

Barbara Walters may be upset and disappointed after being bumped by Lindsay Lohan in favor of appearances on nearly every other talk show, but the Liz & Dick star told Jay Leno last night that "the timing wasn't right."

Unless you're Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, one of the twinks from One Direction, "Fifty Shades of Grey" author E.L. James, Olympian Gabby Douglas, musical idiot Seth MacFarlane, probable Oscar winner Ben Affleck, or perennially angry New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, you did not make Barbara Walters annual list of most fascinating people.

Treasured gift Lindsay Lohan has been forced to pull out of a much-hyped 20/20 interview with Barbara Walters, after learning that Walters planned to use the interview as an attempt to interview her.

Emails obtained by The Daily Telegraph through a Syrian opposition group lay bare an uncomfortably close relationship between The View matriarch Barbara Walters and the former press aide of genocidal tyrant Bashar al-Assad.

This is not just a list of media people we don't like. Nor is it just a list of media people who had a bad year. This is a list of media people who—abundant evidence shows—should not be in the media, any more. Give it up. Try something else. (We'll even make a suggestion.) You've given it a shot. It's not working any more. The media is not for you.
