Barbara Walters Gets Mannerly About O’Reilly Showdown

Although Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar insisted on Monday’s episode of “The View” that they had walked off the set during last week’s show (-down) with Bill O’Reilly because they thought his stance on Islam was bigoted, Barbara Walters got all Emily Post on them. “You don’t leave your own home,” Walters advised. So hosting a network TV show is the etiquette equivalent of inviting someone to your own home, even if that person is displaying some pronounced signs of Islamophobia. —KA
