Of course he's right, Fox is a stupid machine that all they care about is ratings, like any junk tabloid...yet they load themselves up with patriotic police that didn't even serve like Sean Hannity, BillO, Gibson, Cavuto, etc

God forbid anyone say 'hey, what about the soldier who died yesterday'?

Or else Fox cancels your show

Do we know whether or not the show's contract wasn't renewed before this incident?

He said something to the effect of "I don't need the ratings" during the clip, maybe that was a reference to the fact that his show wasn't going to be on the air anymore?

why did they go find montel williams to discuss the pressures of being under the glare of the celebrity microscope?

and what did he say that was wrong? He went after the media, not ledger.

He threatened to kill some teenage kids or something because he was having a rough day.

Found it:
Montel Williams threatens to "blow up" high school student

His ratings sucked and was already on very thin ice. You're probably jumping to conclusions here, and btw it wasn't just Fox who was focused on Heath Ledger and not our troops.

I think the theory was that he bashed Fox's practice and got his show canceled as a result.. the other thing with the high school kid was months ago, so who knows if that had any impact or not.
