Montel Williams wins Algae Award
for taking the opportunity unwittingly given him by the faux news chumps to put things in perspective. In his soft-spoken manner he pointed out the lunacy of the so-called news media running from one housefire and train wreck to another and pimping anything that might get ratings, while ignoring the real ongoing tragedy of this country's abuse not only of Iraqis but of its own.

We are privileged to honor Mr. Williams for this. Never a particular fan of his program, we knew little about him until this incident was called to our attention. Thanks to several DUers for doing so, and thanks to Brandon Friedman on Daily Kos for his excellent post.

I heard about it, but this was the first time I had seen the video.

4. one reason I started the Algae Awards
is that so much stuff on blogs like DU is there for a few hours and sinks into obscurity, and so much stuff on places like UTube is lost amid the chatter

Some things deserve a permanent place of honor. Thus was born the Algae Awards!

We are always open to nominations!
