a memo reportedly sent out on Thursday, NPR informed their employees that a tip line has been created for anyone who wants to express “anonymous concern” about co-workers who aren’t masking up in the office, as COVID cases begin to rise again. And for the most part, the hosts of “The View” were not fans of the idea.“I would never do that,” Joy Behar said. “I’m Italian, we don’t snitch.
We don’t snitch.”Both Sara Haines and guest host Dan Abrams called the idea “ridiculous” as well, with Abrams arguing, “We’re at a different point in COVID now. We’re just not at the point we were two years ago.”Haines took particular issue with “the snitching element” of the situation as a whole, saying that thanks to COVID, “we’ve lost our civility.”“If someone out here had the mask down, I don’t think I’d come swingin’. I’d just say ‘Hey, excuse me, would you mind?'” Haines said.
“Nobody talks like that to each other anymore. So we shouldn’t be surprised when we can’t talk about actually heavy topics.”Sunny Hostin was the outlier at the table on this one, making a case for why she actually supports NPR’s hotline measure.“I think it’s a good thing, because we’ve been terrible to each other during this pandemic,” Hostin said. She made a similar point as Haines, arguing that people stopped being decent to each other in the battle over masks, with conversations even coming to blows in some places.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticIn “Leila’s Brothers,” a once proud, now pathetic Persian family teeters on the brink of ruin, held together by the assertive sister who’s tired of relying on men to decide her fortune. Taking matters into her own hands may be empowering to watch — there’s no question that “The Salesman” alum Taraneh Alidoosti, who plays Leila, towers over this male-dominated ensemble — but it’s also a recipe for potential tragedy in Iranian writer-director Saeed Roustaee’s novelistic, nearly-three-hour saga, his first to be selected for Cannes.Some audiences may recognize Roustaee from another turbulent family portrait, “Life and a Day” (2016), whereas it was his terrific cop thriller “Just 6.5” (2019) — the closest thing Iran has produced to “The French Connection,” still unreleased in the U.S.
