Montel Williams deplores lack media coverage of Iraq casualties. Fox network drops the Montel Williams shows from 17 of it’s stations across the nation. Montel will be going off the air totally. Why is Fox and the other news media so against providing coverage of this type of issue? This is a war and they want to put it on the back burner and talk about fluff news. What the hell is wrong in America when the media is owned and controlled by the rightwing conservatives who only want their agenda to be aired? Fascist media propaganda and lack of important real news!

I'm a lifelong Republican voter. In the past, I've made donations to the Republican party. They used to stand for solid principles like responsible fiscal policy, separation of church and state, and minimal intervention in foreign affairs. But those days have come to a screeching halt. The party has been taken over by mindless religious zealots and cowardly corporate toadies who refused military service in their own time but chafe at the bit to start wars for other families to send their young into.

And Fox has become the corporate mouthpiece for these neocons.

I may never vote for another Republican.

That is something that has always bothered me. Montel Williams losing his job over his comments is a pathetic commentary on FOX news. Not that i needed to see this to confirm my opinion on them.
Besides the US military casualties, why does no one talk about the iraqi casualties? The US miltary, while tragic at least are people that voluntarily ENLISTED into the military. The iraqi civilians did not enlist in this war, yet they are paying a very high price.

Do you really think leftwing nut shows like CNN Commi News Network would show anything that is a good thing? No. So dont blame Fox, blame them all, the lib media purposely has skewed the results to show nothing but bad things and will never show a positive.
Typical left wing freaks who will do anything to make Iraq a failure to help their adgenda.
What happen to the 6 marines who were called killers by the looney left and traitor Jack Murtha? They showed this moron on CNN over and over and over again calling them murderers, killed in cold blood etc but now all 6 were found innocent, you dont see it at all.
See the idea !!

Isn’t FOX professing to be fair and balanced?

And there isn’t much of any left wing media, if so tell me who owns it?

I don't think ANY of the media outlets are truly FAIR and BALANCED!
FOX NEWS......way far right!
MANY of the rest are too far LEFT!
So......I watch bits of each and SEARCH for as close to some form of fair & balanced news......or just read between the lines the best I can and come up with my own conclusions which, I figure........is best.
Either way, I KNOW ALL news is NOT fair or balanced as it SHOULD be and they only tell us what they WANT us to know........true or not.

So, before I decide to get outraged, what were Montel's Abritron ratings? How did they compare to his past ratings, and against his competition?

It's more about the news media. Seems we ALL agree on this one.

Do you really think that could be an overriding factor for him to mention Iraq?
