Fox Stations and Montel's TV career
Shortly before Fox-owned and biased-operated television stations in major markets terminated Montel's talk-show contract, Montel appeared in an interview on Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends, and was asked to discuss Heath Ledger's death. He used the interview to point out that TV networks had continued to extensively cover Mr Ledger's death while ignoring the deaths of 28 US soldiers in Iraq since the beginning of the year. Montel expressed sympathy for Mr Ledger's family and remorse for his passing but also encouraged the three interviewers to recognize the absence of coverage for the US soldiers killed in Iraq. The interviewers suggested that the death of Heath Ledger was more interesting to viewers than the details of conflict in Iraq. Montel suggested that US news networks had the capacity to lead the country's attitudes by placing just as much importance on US deaths in Iraq as on the deaths of celebrities. Montel noted that he had awoken that morning very saddened by the unknown names of those slain in Iraq and was further saddened when he could not find their names on the web.
