Scott D. Pierce: Jones is no 'Star'
5 comments | Read story
Jones is definitely a star in her own right. She's a journalist who I'm sure is proud of what she's doing. If you don't like or believe in her, then please, at least show her the well deserved dignity and respect. Please, give her the benefit of the doubt.
Please, sit back and watch her a bit. You can look past her gender and race. You'll see a journalist embarking on a whole new beginning. Liz Walker embarked on a new beginning by joining Boston's WBZ Channel 4 in 1981. She put in 20 years at the desk, and now hosts her own Sunday morning show from beyond the desk.
It just goes to show you. "You can't judge a book by its cover". Please, be happy you're a journalist. Somebody somewhere could be calling you a buffoon. Would you like that? I assure you I wouldn't. Please, leave Star Jones alone. Give her the dignity and respect she well deserves.
Star Jones ego is so out of control she can't believe anything she says or does is wrong. It's everyone else who has the problem.
Mr.Pierce reported on what happened at Jones's press conference. Yes, a public relations disaster.
She acts like a Goddess and seems to think the rules of the media ( like answering a simple question honestly) do not apply to her highness.
The definition of buffoon is, "A ludicrous or bumbling person; a fool." I think this describes Ms. Jones perfectly. I wouldn't accuse the writer of "name calling." More like being very descriptive concerning the person being interviewed.
If Star Jones would quit acting like she is God's gift to the rest of us and we should bow to her then maybe, just maybe, she could make it.
What if Jones would have come out to the press room and announced, "Yes I did it, I had stomach surgery, now about the show." And then laughed at herself.
The mood of the room would have changed and perhaps the reporters would have been kinder to her.
As it stands now Star Jones doesn't get it. She is a walking, talking public relations disaster.
