The verdict on Star Jones' interview w/Isaiah Washington: nauseating...
OK Star, I wanted to be positive about your new venture but you have turned me off on day one with a nauseating interview with Isaiah Washington about "second chances." You see, Star, you had seemed to have learned something from your past behavior, Isaiah has not and yet you give him this warm and fuzzy platform. Were you two even speaking English? So many metaphors...it was sickening television.
Maybe you are in over your head with this show. Where was the criminal prosecutor in you today?

News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

It seems the blogosphere has turned into the pro-TR (e.g., yourself) versus the pro-Isaiah (e.g., Jasmyne Cannick) crowd. Seems each side is quick to applaud some aspect of their protagonist's story or behavior and ignore everything else. Neither of them is the saint or complete victim each side is painting them to be. TR gets soft-ball interviews (e.g., he's never been asked to address Isaiah's most recent accounts of what went down) and so does Isaiah ... what's new? Isaiah got a punishment he deserved, TR seems to be happy now that he's been relieved of the pressure not to be open and he's got an Emmy nomination (not that I would have expected him to get one without this whole controversy) ... let's move on from taking sides and give these two a break for a while ... since 'fair and balanced' coverage is impossible - I can understand that sometimes you just like some people and not others either for no reason or because of their actions.
