I was just too slow on the submit. I was only pointing out how it appeared (to me) that you were dismissing his point because of who it was making the point or because of how he delivered his point.
I don't think Montel would disagree with your points. I think his message was why do we spend so much time on the death of a single celebrity (in this case days) and for the most part only report a line or two about the deaths of our service men and women. He never implied that Fox didn't report on the war or about casualties. He was just making a point about how our own societal priorities are so badly misplaced. And I didn't get the impression that he was attacking the 3 other hosts personally, but used their show to basically call out Americans and Fox News. And I think he was very sincere about his message. I wish he had been better prepared too. He should have anticipated that they might try to turn the table on him and prepared himself. He didn't do a good job of that, but that shouldn't take away from the message.
I just disagree with your reference that he's full of horsecrap (on this issue). To my ears, when you say he's full of horsecrap, then whatever he says is horsecrap too.]]>2/1/2008 12:33:08 PM2008-02-01T12:33:08+01:00192247http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/49094/1/xml_widget.rss#q26<![CDATA[cb__ @ 2/1/2008 11:02:05 AM]]>«hOOsker: When asked "OK, lets talk about those who died this month in Iraq." his response was "I looked but couldn't find any information about them."This reminds me so much of the Larry King-Paris Hilton interview, when she couldn't name a favorite Bible passage after saying she had read it in jail every day. Still, I think Montel's comments were genuine, especially after having served in the military himself (and he seems to have become a kinder, gentler soul since being diagnosed with MS). It would have helped his credibility tho if he could have elaborated and more specifically.]]>2/1/2008 11:02:05 AM2008-02-01T11:02:05+01:00192213http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/49094/1/xml_widget.rss#q25<![CDATA[hOOsker @ 2/1/2008 10:24:51 AM]]>«tomphoolry : So it sounds like you're ignoring the message because of the messenger?
Where did you get that??? I would never have expected that jump from you tom.
A few points;
I could have actually given names of soldiers had I been on the Fox sofa... god willing, I hope and pray to never know any more then I do now.
Messages, no matter how right and just, should be delivered with sincerity.
The person Montel is lecturing, Greg Kelly is a Marine.
Fox, in my opinion, gives a huge amount of coverage , if not the most amount, to our soldiers.
Montel's lecture would have been better, once again in my opinion, delivered to a network that refuses to acknowledge our soldiers and give their support, like, NBC, MSNBC,and CNBC
I had a whole different reply, but it looks like you completely edited your comment.]]>2/1/2008 10:24:51 AM2008-02-01T10:24:51+01:00192212http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/49094/1/xml_widget.rss#q24<![CDATA[PulsisX @ 2/1/2008 10:24:39 AM]]>«hOOsker : I just think he tried to make himself look superior to the contrived hype of the media, a type of hype he himself has been part of for many years, and when he was called to task he lied and looked like a hypocrite. Montel is a nice guy I'm sure, but they gave him the perfect opportunity to talk about what he was so passionate about and he blew it... seams to me that the tables were actually flipped on him.Your right. If this was something he REALLY cared so much about why didn't he have anything to say besides pointing the finger about the warped coverage. I have been a pretty cynical person my whole life and have been trying to give people the benefit of the doubt more recently.
I still think it's great that he pointed it out but when you think about the whole thing it does seem to be serving Montel's cult of personality. Guess it depends on what you want to give a greater weight. His supposed indignation or his apperance of it's shallowness.]]>2/1/2008 10:24:39 AM2008-02-01T10:24:39+01:00192208http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/49094/1/xml_widget.rss#q23<![CDATA[lllllllllllllll @ 2/1/2008 10:21:07 AM]]>«germz

He's as much of a whore as the ones he's pointing his fingers at. When asked "OK, lets talk about those who died this month in Iraq." his response was "I looked but couldn't find any information about them." googled in 2 damn secondsthe internet is totally different then TV, we are avalible to much more here. The TV is such a good device to though, because of the broad audience, which doesn't have the time or the inclination to look up something on a subject they would otherwise be uneducated about. And because not everyone is willing/smart enough to type www.google.com and actually look at something that they might be interested in -- If they knew they could find it.
People that aren't so computer savy, dont seem to have much patience to look up something that doesn't scream out and tell them they will be interested in 'insert topic here'.

* I kid.
If I ever see Montel in person he is getting a ^5. I never watched his show and really don't know anything about him but that was pretty cool and DEP is right how he stayed with his point and at the same time was respectful of Heath Ledger and his family.
Regardless of the level of horsecrap he was still putting light on the war and the issue of how the media is almost totally ignoring it. Global Securities is a great site BTW. Tons of solid info on all kinds of stuff.I completely get it pulsisX, he didn't say anything that millions haven't said from the very day Heath died...TM brought it up on the very day the story came to plime.
