I sent an email off to the Today Show. Not my normal thing. Tell me what you think:


Today Show,

I'm very very disappointed, no in fact outraged, at the obvious way that your show continues to attack ANYONE who says ANYTHING against the current White House administration. My jaw was on the floor watching the way that Matt Lauer saw fit to completely attack someone who was gracious enough to be interviewed on your show. Does Karl Rove personally write your interview questions? Could Matt have come off as being any more viscious and rude to her? For a moment there he seemed to be determined to shout her down. Was he going to tell her to shut up?? Who did she vote for in 2000? What relevance does that have to anything? Did the Today Show spend this much time attacking the author of Unfit for Command? Not likely.

This is exactly like Couric's attack on Michael Moore on this very same show. I try to be as fair minded as possible when listening to the stories from both sides politically, but the fact that you continually attack people that speak up, as if you receive your marching orders from the White House is just disgraceful.

I hadn't planned on buying Ms Kelley's book, but after seeing the beating she took on your show, the least I can do is support her by purchasing a copy. The visciousness she endured makes me think there is something to the story, since no one has seen fit to try and discredit any of the story, just discredit the messenger, but that is the game plan these days. I sincerely hope that your show somehow finds its journalistic integrity again. But I won't hold my breath.

Disgusted,
