Montel Williams: ‘Shame’ on Media for Discussing Garrett Dust-Up but Not Hostages

Montel Williams, ever game for a controversy, criticized news outlets Thursday morning for debating Major Garrett’s question about American prisoners in Iran without discussing the whole prisoners part:

Shame on any outlet who chose to debate the propriety of #MajorGarrett question but barely mention the hostages – grow up guys.

Is he saying media outlets focused on a contrived clash of recognizable personalities over the underlying policy matters at stake? I never.
