Peter Jennings he ain't, but Public Enemy frontman Chuck D did make his debut May 21 as a Fox News Channel commentator. So EW asked Mr. D for his thoughts on a few current events:
1 TIMOTHY MCVEIGH
''The American public is confused with the growing discontent of
militia people. The U.S. must handle this case right, since they
messed up in Montana and Waco.''
2 TIGER WOODS' AMERICAN EXPRESS DEAL
''To think that kids will run out and get American Express cards
because of Woods is stupid. However, that's a lot of money.''
3 MARCIA CLARK'S WITHOUT A DOUBT
''Just another example of how people are stretching their
[pre]occupation with O.J. Simpson.''
4 THE KNICKS-HEAT BRAWL''The NBA made this into a circus. The players were responding to a sense of danger. It was a natural response and they were unfairly penalized.''
5 THE LOST WORLD
''The sequel wasn't backed by public demand but by prosperity
demand.''
