Skelton criticizes British press over sick son reveal

He blasted headlines and a London press conference while defending the family’s swift return to the United States and noting Richard is in remission and taking doctors advice. The comedian blamed an aggressive reporter for the negative coverage and said the trip’s outcome was overall a family experience despite the controversy.
