NBC to Paris: A Million for Your Thoughts?

Scathing. If you don't review the interview I will lose all respect for you as a humorous individual.

Sad - if this is true then I lost my bet! I bet a friend that Diane Sawyer was going to do the post-jail Paris interview! Oh well...

This is a new low for America. The only time it will stop is when "journalists" stop satifying the public's appetite for this kind of drivel. How much more can the news get dumbed down?

Howard Beale is alive and well at NBC

Why is Miss Paris Hilton getting $1 million for an inteview, just because she went to jail for 23 days? What about other's who have been in the same category. Do those people get the same instant famous? Well, i think it is because of you TV networks that is why these young rich and famous girls and boys are getting away with the law. These wrongful people should not be viewed as heroes, but needs to be punished if they break the law. I think Paris Hilton should not be ginen a heroes welcome and the interview should not be held. At least i won't be watching and i hope other's don't.Is a shame on NBC.

ridiculous, insane, super crazy i say

Why is she getting an 1 million for an interview? Because it will sell. You know who it will sell to? Everyone, including the people complaining. Wether she is a spoiled rich girl getting special treatment or not, your paying attention. Thats what matters. She lives an interesting life. Maybe she isn't as important as the war in Iraq, but she offers an entertaining distraction from it. Celebrities have always offered entertainment on and off screen. This is nothing new.

Whoever airs an interview with Paris for a million dollars, I will not only not watch it, I will also not watch that network for a week. Perhaps we should all turn our backs likewise. Then such disgusting deals rewarding the rich for their bad behavior would not be so tempting.

NBC has no news to report and is finally joining the gossipmongers to make its end meet. Shame on you NBC. What little respect I had for NBC is finally gone with this interview. Welcome to the trashland NBC!

I'm embarrassed for you, Kyle, as you are obviously part of the problem. If NBC airs this interview, I will never watch any news show from them again.

A testament to how truly messed up the majority of our society is. The fact that people actually care what Paris Hilton thinks is pathetic.

Absolutely Insane!

How nauseating! A not too bright young woman who has been raised to believe she is above the law benefits yet again from inappropriate not to say life endangering behavior! What a sick society!

Frankly, I can't say I'm surprised by this...as with most other things in America, it's much more lucrative to ignore the unpleasant, real world stories and focus on newsertainment instead. I suppose we can only blame the American public though; the networks are just giving them what they want, however stupid it might be. Luckily I never had any faith in the American public anyway.

Stop pretending to take the high ground and admit that we are all slaves to the box and ANY news... America is boredom and we have nothing better to do. How else would you have come across this article? And to top it all off, I gurantee the majority of those reading this are at work, on the clock. GG AMERICA!

bonehead play by whatever "news" source ponies up cab fare to get Greybar Hilton to whimper for the camera. right now, the most respected source in news would seem to be The Quilting Channel, for it has no Greybar Hilton airtime.

Paris did her hard time, she has earned her stripes, now I have some real respect for her.

I did two days in the county jail before, and let me tell you, it is tough. For a woman who has been pampered all her life, it is a big thing and she deserves the money. However, I hope this experience has humbled her...

We are not amused.

I stopped watching network news a long time ago just for this very reason... This is not the first time that so-called "journalists" have compromised their integrity, while pretending to hold the moral high ground. You can send a message by refusing to watch broadcast TV news.

I AGREE WITH KYLE.
YOU GUYS ARE ALL RESPONDING TO THIS AND IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU ARE EXCITED ABOUT IT OR THINK IT IS "ABSOLUTELY INSANE." THE POINT IS YOU ARE ALL RESPONDING LIKE CRAZY AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHY THEY ARE DOING THE INTERVIEW. NEWS DEPARTMENTS TRY TO SELL HEADLINES AND OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB. LOOK AT ALL THE HYPE THEY ARE RECEIVING IN RESPONSE.. GOAL ACHIEVED. THEY SUCCESSFULLY MADE THE AUDIENCE THAT THEY ARE FISHING FOR BITE AT THE LINE LIKE CRAZY.

I want to hear how she is remedicating her life to God.

I can't believe NBC would stoop so low, they must be desperate for viewers and I'm sure they will get a lot of viewers who truly believe she deserves this notoriety. I didn't even watch the much ballyhooed intervews with the princes and I will not watch NBC again.

Betty

Don't we have laws in this country about profiting from your crimes? Heck, I would gladly do 23 days in jail for a million bucks when I get out. Sign me up!!

LETS SEE IF SHE GIVES ANY OF THE MONEY TO SOME CHARITY ORGANIZATION REBORN BELIEVER ... MY A#$! WHAT A STUPID FRECK'IN FAKE!

the only way i will respect this decision is if paris takes that money and gives it to a charity or at least pays back the county so the tax payers wont feel so ripped off for having to succumb to her special needs while in prison. oh and i think she owes us all a few bucks for subjecting us to her stupid antics over the years.
