We don’t mean to beat a dead horse, but every time Jeremy Piven comes out to tell his story about sushi and mercury, NFI feels the obligation to remind the rest of the world that we think his story doesn’t amount to much.

Originally, when Piven appeared on “The View” on June 25, 2010 to tell the story about his departure from David Mamet’s production of “Speed the Plow,” weissued a media advisory. But now that ABC Television decided to re-air that same program earlier today in a number of markets, we feel compelled once again to remind the rest of the world of what we’ve been saying about Piven for the better part of 18 months — his story just doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

Why outlets like ABC Television continue to give Piven a platform without asking him any tough questions is baffling.
