You guys know this network better than I; is this a plant or could this be accurate?
Behind the View Walk Off: Zwecker

Chicago - Here's a bit of backstage scoop from The View: One of the show's staffers tells me it was none other than Elisabeth Hasselbeck who proved to be the true peacemaker after that big dustup last week, when Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off the set.
They were upset by Bill O'Reilly's comments about "Muslims being responsible" for the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
Though Hasselbeck is the well-known conservative Republican on the show, and a big O'Reilly fan, she kept her mouth shut about her feelings [[she agreed with Barbara Walters, that Behar and Goldberg shouldn't have bolted) and ended up being the voice of reason.
It was Hasselbeck, my source tells me, who smoothed things over.
Apparently, Walters’ verbal tongue-lashing of Goldberg and Behar hurt their feelings, and that's what really needed to be straightened out.
