The View walk off instigated by Bill O'Reilly

Recent stories of a Bill O’Reilly induced “The View” walk off worry the Fox News anchor riling up Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg to the point that they couldn’t stand the sight of him anymore. He was discussing the Ground Zero mosque with the hostesses of the show, and Goldberg and Behar couldn’t stand to hear any more. Behar stood up, announced that she did not want to hear any more, and Goldberg joined her in storming off. Like any sensational footage, it went to the web. Since then, video of “The View” walk off has gone viral.

'The View’ loses 2 different hosts

On Thurs, a guest on “The View” had been television pundit Bill O’Reilly. He thought possibly he’d talk about ground zero. The mosque controversy was discussed. He explained that most Americans don’t want a mosque near where the World Trade Center once had been in some polls. O’Reilly said that “because Muslims killed us on 9/11,” it had been not appropriate for the mosque to be there while on “the View”. Yahoo News explains that Whoopi Goldberg’s response had to be bleeped due to how upset she had been. A lot of yelling ensued, and seconds later, Joy Behar stood up and announced that she did not want to be on set any longer. Whoopi Goldberg left with her within the anger. That is when “The View” story started circulating.

Feud proceeds

Joy Behar did not understand why people thought the incident was important to note. She called O’Reilly “an idiot” herself that night though. That night, she had Jesse Ventura on “The Joy Behar Show” to talk about the storm-off and the issue at hand. Ventura could be working on his second season of his Television show. “Conspiracy Theory” is his show. USA Today explains that Ventura thinks the Fox commentator, O’Reilly, is a “spineless puke” that has hate speech.

Exactly what you expect from O’Reilly

O’Reilly is only popular for one reason. He pushes people’s buttons all the time. He makes inflammatory statements, regardless of fact at times and he does so purposefully. That is also what Keith Olbermann does. This is why he is popular. That sort of thing sells, and Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar bought it.
