Montel Williams Loses Job after Defending Troops on Fox News By CRISTINA KINON DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Friday, May 16th 2008, 4:00 AM Friday's "Montel Williams Show" is the last, but the affable host says he has no plans to slow down."I'm not retiring," Williams told the audience gathered for his final show, which was taped in March. "I am stopping the taping of 'The Montel Williams Show,' but I am not, in any way, shape or form, stopping anything else that I'm doing." http://www.nydailynews.co m/entertainment/tv/2008/0 5/16/2008-05-16_montel_wi lliams_exits_talking_but_ says_h.html montel williams was fired or as they say "resigned" 3 days after this appearence on fox news, after making a statemnet about how disgusting the media is requarding our soldiers,it took real guts, and there you go my friends, free speech in america? i dont think so!!, a powerful man and a leader of many SILENCED BY THE POWERS THAT BE!, listen people call and write to all your senators esp clinton and obama who support bill s1959! and tell them to kill this bill! its the thought crime bill reguarding free expression on the web, we're losing our freedoms!, and montel was made an example of! FROM MEDIA CHANNEL DOT ORG Montel Williams Loses Job after Defending Troops on Fox News By Daily Kos. 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.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.-- by Brandon Friedman
