My Take
Sunny Hostin earns my respect because she brought courtroom discipline to a format that usually runs on volume. A Notre Dame-trained lawyer who became a legal correspondent and then a co-host of The View, she argues from evidence and structure even when the topic is pure morning-show chaos. That is harder than it looks; daytime television devours unprepared panelists. Her Emmy nominations tell me the audience senses the rigor underneath the warmth. In an era when opinion is cheap, someone who can actually build a case on live television is genuinely valuable.
