So i hear Montel Williams loses his job

I just gained a lot of respect for him. I personally don't give a fuck about celebrities. People who obsess over them need to step back and think about what they see in these people.
that was pretty intense, I like the way he stood his ground too. they didn't know what to do so they went to a commercial lol
I agree with him 100%... I appreciate Heath Ledger's work, but he's just regular joe schmoe.. I cant believe those idiots are defending their view on coverage on some celebrity dying.. Talk about a mental illness..
what most people DONT know is montel williams is highly educated and ivy league educated....its about time someone spoke up....i hate celebrity shit but its just unaviodalbe to get into in today's society because there's just so much of it
+1 for Montell. Who gives a flying fuck about celebrities!? I would like to hear about all of the good that is happening around the world, and quit focusing in on all of the tragedies. I also believe that EVERY soldier deserves our respect. No matter how one feels about the war or the politics involved.
Sorry, started to go off topic there.

montel is kinda an asshole in person...
I've met him, so I can comment on how he is. Even so, I do have a hell of a lot of respect for his view. He says it like it is, and does bring up a good point about our society.
Was it tragic that Heath Ledger died? Yes. Is it tragic that the people that die everyday in Iraq aren't remembered by name, but only as a statistic in the news? You bet your ass it is.
It's typical tabloid garbage, and I fully agree with him on this...

Damn, just gained serious respect for Montel Williams right there - and I have to agree with him.
wow ive been saying this for last few years. i hate all the publicity the celebrities get. i dont mind hearing some once or even twice a day, but when its goes on for days, it just pisses me off that they get so much coverage, and the troops go down unknowingly to the rest of us.
did you guys hear what he said about ratings? and then they tried to change the focus. the media is full of shit. +1 for montel

I've never liked him or any of the talkshow hosts, but what he said there definately surprised me...It's about time somebody in the spotlight got the guts to speak up and say something like that.
Damn. That was awesome.
I like how the other three started squirming when he started talking about our fallen soldiers vs. celebrities.

I wish more people would get fired for what he did. Maybe then peoples minds will change and actually care about something that matters, not the death of an actor. I could personally care less what happens to Brittney or Lindsay or Paris, always have, always will.
Interesting how the announcer started by saying "an actor, gone way too soon, a tragedy, a major one". I feel bad for his family, but since when is the death of a pill popping man an effing tragedy? I'm surprised people are shocked he died, after the toxicology report came out. What is their definition of a "tragedy"? What gross, myopic lack of perspective, considering the innnocent lives being lost around the world (including here in the US) due to international terrorism, hunger, desease, war, poverty, genocide, homelessness, etc. I have not forgotten about the 50 people burned alive inside a Assemblies of God church in Eldoret, Kenya in early 2008, the thousands of civilians fleeing their countries all over the world, the dead and homeless from Katrina, not to mention the dead and the grieving after Sept 11, 2001. News flash to the idiotic talking heads of TV: Those are tragedies, by any definition and standard. Your exploitation of the death of this actor for the sake of ratings makes you nothing but whores. And then they try to put Montel on the spot by asking him for details on any of the US Armed Forces deaths he mentioned. So kudos to Montel for showing the bastards as the dimwits they are. I'm sure they didn't like having their ignorance showed on national television. Too bad Montel lost his job for speaking his mind. I hope he lands on his feet; he has earned my respect.
