The NY Times Takes A "Moment" To Make Fun Of Michael C Hall

Of all the news publications, you'd think the New York Times would know Dexter's Michael C. Hall has been battling cancer, right?
Nope!
The Time's Moment blog was tweeting during the Golden Globe awards on Sunday night and made this unnecessary and completely insensitive comment about the cancer stricken actor:
Is Michael C. Hall playing Bob Marley in an upcoming movie? Don't get the hat or what he is hiding under it.
What a fucking moron!
We assume the twat got bombarded with an overwhelming and mostly angry response from followers and later tweeted a half ass apology:
So sorry that Michael C. Hall has had cancer. Thanks for clarifying why he is wearing a knitted skull cap.
Idiot!
P.S. CLICK HERE to "follow" Perez on Twitter!

what a friggin idiot! Reporter/blogger should be fired (if they are even paid).
That is so fucking disgusting of them, and then they just pass off their disgusting comment as if its nothing.
wow, now there is is sum1 as late as you perez
what a total twit
thats mean.
im glad he won the golden globe
i hope hes gonna be fine soon.
I wish you the best micheal!!
That's not a Bob Marley hat.
dick move
What a fucking idiot & asshole. When you see someone that is obviously missing hair and wearing a hat your immediate reaction is a fashion comment? Most people with an ounce of sense assume cancer. Hope he got ripped a new one.
OMG - A news organization making such an ignorant comment about someone who's in the public eye? Not to mention one that just made the announcement that he's undergoing treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. FAIL!!
I almost thought they hired u to make comments now , sounds like the stupid Shit u write.
It sounds like a dumb ass comment you would say, dumb ass.
Remember how when MJ was rushed to the hospital dead, you wrote on your site, "Sick or faking?"
Dumb fat ass
Hypocrite!!! you criticize the NYT when you said a lot of horrible things about Brittany Murphy before her death!!!…
having cancer is no excuse for that stupid fucking hat. he looked like an idiot. if he didn't want to show his bald head (and why not?) he could have found something more attractive than that sack to wear.
He is incredibly HOT, with or without the cap.
i didnt know he had cancer but i would think he has cancer, that is why he has the hat, stupid NY times
I thought journalists were supposed to do due diligence and actually research before reporting. Ridiculous
what's the problem?!?!?1 the dude honestly didnt know that he had cancer! just likie you didnt know michael jackson was going to die when you posted thst horrbile post about him! so shut the hell up you hypocrite!!!
omg this is horrible!
why are people being so horrible to him??
Yes, the NYT person was an idiot.
That said, isn't this he pot calling the kettle black?
This site does things like this on a daily basis, multiple times.
This is exactly why I hate the New York Times, there dumbasses!
NY Times blogger in relation to the term 'apology'…
apology - noun: a written or spoken expression of one's regret, remorse, or sorrow for having insulted, failed, injured, or wronged another
.
The term 'apology' as it pertains to Mario…
apology - noun: an inferior specimen or substitute; makeshift
.
As a avid hater on this open sewer of a website, I can clearly understand why you are confused by such a simple act…you would cut of one of your six mutant testicles before you apologised for any of your verbal diarrhoea
Ass!
So what - he's apologised! Obviously this was an honest mistake. We all make 'em. As always Perez trying to turn everything into a bigger issue than it needs to be.
Re: el polacko –
……………?
Perez, you talking about "unnecessary and completely insensitive comment" is like Paula Deen talking about "fat free, healthy food".
what a dumbass. even if he hadn't heard already…it's pretty obvious once you see him. michael is hands down 1 of the best actors out there today…and dexter is the best show on tv.
who the FUCK are you to judge ANYONE who makes insensitive remarks when that is what you make your pitiful existance doing? had you been unaware of his illness you would have said A LOT worse you disgraceful horrible "man" … i stopped coming to this site for weeks and randomly came back … I regret it.. it will not happen again. every comment is people trashing you.. the world despises you.. people come to this site to hate on you and therefore line your pockets in the meantime. I am sick that I ever had this site as a favorite.
For once I agree with you on this. That person is a royal jackass. And I hope they feel like one.
fucked uuuuuuuuuuup dude!
Fucking Idiot!!!
I know another fu@king moron- he wrote on his site that Michael Jackson was probably faking an illness, that Sliimy was going to be a superstar and that Fidel Castro has died- just to name a few. The moron's name is Perez.
funny u call him an idiot when barely a few months ago one was calling Michael jackson a publicity whore and faking his own death to get out of performing…wonder who that was??? probably some big time douchebag that has less value than the dirt under my shoe…can;t remember his name though…do u perez???
Meh. Maybe the tweeter doesn't get HBO. If he didn't it wouldn't be a shock if he didn't even know who Michael C. Hall even was, let alone understand that the dude was suffering from Cancer. People make mistakes, particularly in "live" moments when there isn't time to research and fact check. At least s/he apologized for the error. Internet cockroach Perez Hilton makes multiple errors (some of them colossal errors - Michael is faking it, Fidel is dead) and I can't recall him ever apologizing for anything.
what douches!!
You hypocrite Perez, that's exactly the kind of comments you've been making about people for years. Your insensitive and heartless. And now you call out others for saying the same thing. You're partly responsible for the some of the starlets who Od and commit suicide. You bash people any chance you get. Then you pretend to offer sympathy. What a monster…
HAha, this is rich coming from you, that does this day in and day out. You are a hypocrite, look it up.
Whoever wrote that at the Times should be fired.
Kinda like what you did with Michael Jackson.
The New York Times is always clueless. THAT is not news.
"You can not fix stupid"
Zombie's on a roll tonight!
what a douchebag move on the part of NYT!
So glad Michael won .. he's a good actor.
I've loved him since '6 Feet Under'
Sounds kinda like something your "unnecessary and completely insensitive comments" the only difference is this person at least has a little bit of decency to make some sort of attempt at an apology, YOU fucking moron!
Suuuuure, like if you, Perez, were so allknowing. The comment seems as if it came straight from this blog.
grrr that pisses me off. I love Dexter!
The reporter should be fired immediately. No excuses. An apology simply isn't enough.
Bet you would've done the exact same thing, you mean-spirited celebublogger.
-"MJ is faking it" when he was already dead.
-"Fidel Castro is dead"
I don´t remember you ever apoligyzing…right?
Oh please, Perez. No one is a bigger asshole than you. You rip on everyone.
Agreed, but remember you did the same thing with the MJ Death. Don't be the pot calling the kettle…you know.
Sounds an awful lot like the time you reported that Michael Jackson being rushed to the hospital was really him trying to cop out of his tour when he had actually died. "A fucking moron"..just like you.
I wouldn't call that an apology and whoever this is should feel like a complete moron.
Re: Zombie Hitler –
Yep
Sure, it's insensitive, but it sounds like something you would say.
That makes me wanna f$%king cry. What a bunch of ass holes..
what a horrible apology. so not okay, this person should be ashamed.
Fire the moron.
uh calm down people. it was a mistake and he apologized! yea it was stupid of him but he doesnt deserve to be FIRED.
Yeah, the NYT is not exactly a news outlet centered around celebrities. But if there is going to be any portion of the newspaper dedicated to this kind of reporting, then. . . get someone who knows what they are doing! That comment is acceptable for someone who knows nothing about the world of celebrities and gossip columns. The fact that whoever said this is being paid to know what they are talking about is inexcusable.
that's so terrible. And they're the people that want to charge to view their site? fuck them!
I would be criticizing him for breaking up with his wife to marry his fake sister rather than his uncontrollable illness
what an asssshole!Michael C. hall battling cancer courageously!!! And to get a comment made like that! thAT NYTIMES person should be fired and kicked in the ass! DEXTER ROCKS
This is a non-story. A minor celebrity who has had a couple of series on cable wears a toque in LA (a la Justin Bobby and other Hollywood douchebags), a live tweeter doesn't know about the cancer and comments on how s/he "doesn't get why he's wearing it", and now a bunch of boneheads on this site think the guy/girl should lose their livelihoods for such a minor faux pas. I sure hope you're held to the same standard in your jobs (i.e. can't make even the most insignificant error without getting fired for it.) I'm sure the tweeter feels bad for the error. At least s/he apologized. And for the record, in the picture above, Mr. Hall looks like he should be wearing a helmet and licking the windows of the short bus instead of wearing that toque.
They're a bunch of jackasses. For being one of the largest newspapers in the country they have a shitty research team. Love you Michael!!!!!
This is why journalists need to be careful. Just like you, Perez. It's why you're thrown with a dozen lawsuits every year.
morons
Re: el polacko – stupid ignorant looser, is not like he has many choices to choose from.
wow what an uninformed douche bag.
What a rotten mother fucking douchebag loser.. He should be fired immediately. Sure hope Karma doesnt come back and bite him right on the dick and someone in his family or himself gets sick.. Fuckin loser.
PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, PEREZ.
oh and i am so so soo happy Michael C Hall won the award. he truly deserved it, Dexter is nothing short of amazing. get well soon, michael.
wow, they should do research before saying things like that, its TERRIBLE. And you can tell from his FACE that he isnt healthy, the poor man. for a media related source thats a disgusting comment.
fucktard!
You stupid piece of s**t.. mother f**cker!!! Get a clue you stupid idiot! Fire whoever wrote that.. Now!!!!!! We love you Michael!!!!! Get well soon!!!!!
What a fucking dumbass.
Wow there is a OMG moment….poor writer probably freaked when he/she found out what she wrote.
PS love this site I can't believe haters even come here. I mean if you hate something a lot then why would you come here. It's as bad as someone saying they hate root canals, but they still get the for fun….IDK just dumb it seems to be a part of the traffic that keeps a site going when you hate it.
Perez, don't ya' think that your hypocrite?! Here's the *heartwarming* and *caring* things you had to say when Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital.
"We knew something like this would happen!!
Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance from his Holmby Hills home to a nearby Los Angeles hospital on Thursday afternoon!! Supposedly, the singer went into cardiac arrest and the paramedics had to administer CPR!!!
His mother is even on the way to visit him!!!
We are dubious!!
Jacko pulled a similar stunt when he was getting ready for his big HBO special in '95 when he "collapsed" at rehearsal! He was dragging his heels on that just like his upcoming 50 date London residency at the 02 Arena, of which he already postponed the first few dates!!! Either he's lying or making himself sick, but we're curious to see if he's able to go on!!! Get your money back, ticket holders!!!!"
how rude. what an idiot.
but you do the same thing perez. michael jackson is faking and wants to get out of his tour! a couple minutes later he's dead. fidel castrol is dead, the book of eli beat avatar! . and if you didnt know about michael c halls cancer i bet you would rip on the hat wouldnt you. i didnt see you apologize about mj, brittany murphy and a dozen other people.
Michael is the BEST, I love him. Great actor, well deserved win. I hope he gets better soon and we have many more seasons of Dexter to come.
BASTARDS better leave my Dexter alone!!!!
that is terrible…
omg what asshole! i love michael c hall when i saw him win i almost cried!
Hmmm… i guess this idiot is related to you, Perez.
It's bad what they said, but you say bad stuff all the time and even when you are called on it you just move on to your next victim. You are a hypo-crite.
Didn't U report that MJ wasn't really dead when he died?? U should know that it is allowed to do mistakes at least he apologized.
What a total “` DOUCHE `bag!! B!tch needs to be FIRED!! LOVE this guy!!
i thought the ny times were respectable
i cant believe they would stoop to perez hilton level
heck even perez hilton knows better than to insult a man with cancer
What an asshole.
And his half assed appology didn't help anything.
Michael C. Hall totally deserved to win!!! "Dexer" was simply amazing last season!!!! I hope he overcomes his illness and wish him all the best!!!
YOU make comments like that everye fucking day. A lot of people know that he has cancer, but guess what. Some people don't. Unfortunately the dude was one of them. He has since APOLOGIZED, which is something you ever do! You have made some pretty shitty remarks yourself dumb ass. Like accusing Micheal Jackson of faking, when he died. You NEVER offer any apologies for the shitty remarks you have dished out yourself.
yeah and your he one who bashed michael jackson after he died. stopd being a hypocrite ou fat shit
wow i hopee this doucheebag got fired for thaat.. and P.S theres nothing wrong with trying to mimick bob marley hes a LEGEND
A holes!
Perez…
Remember what you said about bernie mac right before he died? then you took down that post?
how about when michael collasped during his tour rehearsal…and you said it was so he could get out of it?…then he died then you took down that post
HYPOCRITE!!!
All these tweeting morons. I was really glad to see Michael C. Hall win. No sympathy vote, he totally deserved the win. Dexter is a great show!
wowww..i cant even believe that was said…hope michael overcomes the cancer
Re: blacklily.of.the.valley – hah ur open sewer comment made me laugh
what a dumbass..
Re: el polacko – you think that is what's important? your as big an asshole as that reporter.
