On the Talking Points Memo, Bill O'Reilly discussed whether the media coverage of the Robin Williams suicide was indeed over the top.

"He is one of the last entertainment icons, meaning that most of the country knew him and his vast talent," O'Reilly said. "Today we are a fractured society, with Americans going off into different directions thanks to social media. Never again will entertainers like Robin Williams be so prominent in the nation's mind."

Playing video clips of various movie stars discussing Williams, O'Reilly said that depression was widespread and listed some of the other famous people who had also suffered from it.

"My friend Mike Wallace struggled with it his entire life and even attempted suicide," O'Reilly said, referring to the longtime 60 Minutes figure. "It is a terrible disease, but one that can be overcome."

O'Reilly argued that unlike the CNN coverage of the missing Malaysian plane, the media coverage was not overdone.

"Talking Points does not believe the coverage is overdone because this is a very important story," O'Reilly said. "Apparently Robin Williams suffered from depression, as 16 million Americans do."

"Things will get better. The cycle of life dictates it, unless you are self-destructive," he added.
