|
|
Montel Williams turned the question on live television when he choose to focus on the soldiers dying in Iraq rather than the passing of Heath Ledger. Montel did not return for a further segment and probably won't be invited back.

Good for him, FOX has become tabloidish just like the rest of the cable news channels. I guess that is a product of 24 hour news service you have to fill it with something. I am pretty tired of any celebrity news and could care less about any of them. |

It was interesting how the Fox director showed pics of Ledger on one side of the screen while Williams was talking about what he wanted to talk about on the other. The co-hosts tried to shift the conversation to Ledger but Williams refused to play along.
Fox is about sensationalism, far more than it is about news anyway. |

Good for Montel.
He likely has the support of most vets regarding his actions.
Bread & circuses. |

The guy who features Syliva Browne and has her make up crap to parents of dead children? How dare Fox make money from fluff when he makes it from fluff and paying a woman to lie to grieving parents. Forgive me if I see no heroics here other than him trying to score points off of dead soldiers to make himself look like a crusader. If he really cared about parents, as he claims, he'd stop paying a woman to lie to parents of dead children.
Geez. |

Montel always has "talk to the dead" faker Sylvia Browne on his show. Parents of dead kids get up to ask her questions. "Where's his body?" "How did she die?" |

That's what I thought. Very hypocritical.
Sylvia Browne ever take up the offer of a million to prove her skills? |

She said she would. But decided that Randi is just a mean person and doesn't need to take him million and shut him up and donate his million to missing children charities. |

Randi has asked the same question, with the same million dollar prize, to the scientologists and their claims. No takers there either.
Did you read about his adventures in Korea? |

Agreed that having that charlatan Sylvia Brown on his show and then criticizing the FOX hosts as pandering sensationalists is hypocritical but it doesn't make his point any less valid. |

Yeah the first time he was here was hilarious. The guy was trying to rip him off and make him wear a goofy costume. He had a taste of the hagwon experience. |

I must agree with you here as I never really liked Montel and all his self-righteousness very much. While this latest act moves him up a notch for me, he still has a long way to go. |
