From a review on Amazon.com:
“Yes, Maureen Dowd has a point a view – that’s why her columns appear on the op-ed page of the New York Times, not as front page “factual” news.”
I found this one difficult to credit, but Googling reveals that it is very common. Unfortunately Google doesn’t distinguish between “point a view” and sequences like “point. a view. . . ” so it’s hard to quantify.
Perhaps not an eggcorn, because not a lexical reshaping—what could “point a view” possibly mean?
