For just over three minutes on Saturday morning, TV talk show host Montel Williams owned the hosts of Fox and Friends. A former Marine and Naval
officer, Montel lectured the stunned hosts on the stupidity of spending air time on the death of Heath Ledger, rather than covering the war in Iraq.
It was a spectacle rarely seen on live cable television, as Montel exposed and condemned both tabloid "news" shows and much of American culture for
what they have each become: shallow and greedy.
Three minutes into this awkward segment on Fox, one host cut off Montel in order to go to a commercial. Montel did not return after the break. Four
days later, after 17 years as a television host, Montel lost his job. Variety reported on Wednesday that the
Fate of "The Montel Williams Show" was sealed when key Fox-owned stations opted not to renew it for the 2008-09 season.
Brandon Friedman's diary :: ::
Here is the video:
::
I have no idea whether Montel already knew his show wasn’t going to be renewed, and thus felt emboldened to cut loose on the air, or whether his
firing was a result of his actions on Saturday. Either way, Montel Williams exhibited courage this week that few in the television industry ever
will. And for that, American troops around the world stand with him. We support him not only because he stood up for the troops, but because he did
it on Fox News—a station that has done more damage to the U.S. military since 9/11 than any other.
Montel Williams is an American patriot. Though he left the military years ago, he has never forgotten "his" troops.
For that we salute and thank you, Montel. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do next.

good for him, that took some balls.

Glad to see some people will still speak up for what they believe.

it's always funny to watch reporters or hosts struggle to regain control of a conversation.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Wel, doesn't he do the same with the ghost people? All the fatties that watch his afternoon show. They want to talk to ghosts like they are people.
I liked what he said by the way. Not many can and DO do this.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

I'd like to see him and Geraldo square off.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?
