Swearing off The Today Show
After five decades, I have sworn off The Today Show. FOREVER!
It’s been a mushy feelgood variety show for years, but this morning’s show was the final straw when Matt Lauer blamed Nancy Pelosi for the stim getting aced by House Republicans. Then he criticized President Obama for engaging Rush Limbaugh. What got to me wasn’t so much that his comments and questions were partisan as they were just plain stupid. Doesn’t he review these before they’re handed to him!? The issue was that nary a Republican voted for the stim which was a huge failure of GOP leadership. Period.
“Change it. Change it,” I screamed to my wife. “I’m done. No more Today Show.” To her credit, she’s wanted off The Today for a couple of years now.
It’s MSNBC’s Morning Joe for us where the political dialog is both bi-partisan and reasonably intelligent. I long for Bryant and Katie! And Dave Garroway, Frank Blair and Jane Pauley!
