When the Morning show hosts bring up Heath Ledger, Montel gracefully says that he would rather talk about the troops.
Montel had asked the hosts if they knew how many troops fighting in the Iraq war had died since Jan. 1, 2008. The hosts reply with a nonchalant answer of about twenty. Montel retorts back with twenty-eight.
Montel says that he is disgusted with the abundance of media coverage on the “Brokeback Mountain” star’s death, and the lack on the 28 troops who have died since Jan. 1, 2008. When he expressed his opinion they cut him off and went to commercial. Doesn’t that make them look like a network that cares? In real sense, they look like total d-bags
Montel is now off the air after his desperate attempt to talk about a different subject on the Morning show. Seventeen years of the Montel Williams show, with no future because he cared about the troops serving our country.
