Star vs Barbara feud

Since when is it a crime to speak up or stand up for oneself? I am appalled at the negative publicity Star Jones is getting in contrast to Barbara Walters! It just shows that good, decent America Family Values does mean anything anymore, while the famous can do anything immoral such as adultery and it get swept under the rug. News casters are giving Barbara Walters a pass because of her fame on TV. I have lost respect for her because she has always portrayed this God Almighty self-rightous image quick to judge others (like making a big deal because Star didn't want to reveal her method of losing weight) while knowingly, Barbara Walters was living a lie (which makes her a hypocrite) of causing disturbance in someone else's family. I applaud Star (I'm no fan of hers either) for telling her like it is! She has every right to her opinion because its a free country with freedom of speech and Barbara seems to use her rights to slander Star without any hessitation. In a book? please! For money she didn't even care to spare the family of this Senator (whom she hurt to begin with) the shame and pain once again by going public with this now. Why didn't she go confess to a priest, but no...she wouldn't make money. That's all that matters with these shallow celebrities. I hope people with character and good family values will express their strong opinions about this woman and hopefully boycott her program!!!
