Was Montel Williams Kicked Off the Air for Criticizing Fox News?

Was Montel Williams Kicked Off the Air for Criticizing Fox News?

Montel's 17-year-old show was canceled three days after he took Fox to task for overlooking troop casualties in Iraq. Coincidence? I think not. -- Manila Ryce, The Largest Minority

Here's a link to a blog about Montel Williams's appearance on Fox News: www.alternet.org...

Then, just 4 days after he insulted Fox News by insisting that they support the troops and give them more coverage, a number of stations owned by Fox decided against renewing his show for another year. It was a rather heavy-handed punishment even Sylvia Brown didn't see coming

LOL...I like the Sylvia Browne reference...I wonder if she did see that one coming! I'm glad Montel spoke out without fear of the consequences. If more people in his position spoke out there wouldn't be so many things pushed under the rug.

Well, there goes Silvia! She's got no other place to go from there.

As far as Montel, this is news to me and of course its retribution. How dare anyone speak out against the government's own FAUX.

I might not have agreed with everything that Montel Williams stood for, but he does deserve credit for having called Fox News out for not supporting the troops enough. It's a shame that they had to cancel his show the way they did. Maybe we should all write and call to the Fox News Centers and ask that they put his show back on the air. If enough of us do that, they may very well do just that.

I appreciate all of you, and I enjoyed reading the replies in this topic/forum-thread. Thanks for your opinions & kindness, folks. I apologize for not posting the correct video, in my original message on this topic:

You can believe that if this is true the whole world will hear it from Montel himself! He is very outspoken, not afraid to speak truth or suffer the consequences of such.

I know what you mean. He does seem to be very outspoken. I appreciate your contribution, as well as his work.

Way to go Montel. I am sure he will be back sooner or later, and after the economy fails and all those Fox News anchors are without jobs, Montel will be there to report on it.
