D'Oh! I missed the Today show this AM & Matt's Letter reading!
Did any of them sound like this? This was mine - hastily hammered out in anger yesterday.

After watching Matt Lauer shill for the White House for the second day in a row, I have to wonder if he even considers himself a "journalist" anymore. Kitty Kelley wrote a controversial book and Matt Lauer seems to be bent on simply pandering to the current administration. I have to wonder exactly what Matt's motives are in selling out so blatantly.

It's a damned shame that NBC has become a state-run propoganda machine. You should be ashamed of yourselves for pandering to the criminal in the White House and doing your best to suppress journalism in favor of playing up the Bush family as lily-white, innocent
victims.

Today Show - AND - NBC, have lost yet another viewer. State run media used to be confined to places like Cuba and Nazi Germany, not the US. You should be ashamed of yourselves for bringing it here.

1. Sorry,
yours was not read on the air. Are you surprised? LOL! Mine wasn't either. But most of the ones he read did support Kelley and accuse Matt of being too negative. They were just worded more, uh, calmly.

3. And you've watched a lot of Cuban TV?
I have.


On average, Cubans are much more informed than Americans (global, regional, and local issues).


Why smear something that you haven't had any contact with?
