  You know, I'm sorry for him, and his family, and his network. I really am. Losing a man at that age, under those conditions, has got to be heavy to the people close to him. My heart goes out! It's fucking horrible to endure that kind of pain.

  But people are acting like this guy was Martin Luther King, jr., you know? His death was the top story in the New York Times. And on CNN, and Fox News, etc..

  And he was a talk show host, and a blogger! I mean, TV-wise, he wasn't even in the same league as Oprah, or Martha Stewart. But the media reacts like he was some kind of figure on the level of Geraldo Rivera, or Harry Reasoner.
