NBC Fires Matt Lauer

Why is that? Just because they can?

 

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

 

Or Charles Haley jacking off during team meetings?

 

That was a doctored-video prank by Ellen. You can't see that his head doesn't belong on that body?

Tell us how to do journalism again, you muppet.

 

I thought the CBS morning show handled their first broadcast much better. Went from a few short compliments to a stern stance on this is never been acceptable lecture.

I was bothered by Savannah and others saying they "loved" him. I think I heard that five times in their intro yesterday, which to me was a much poorer performance than what CBS said last week.

 

Worth remembering -- Charlie Rose was suspended the day before, so the CBS Morning Show had time to figure out what they were doing. The Today Show crew supposedly found out shortly before going on air. That makes a huge difference.

 

True. And Hoda had to be brought in earlier to cover the 7 AM slot.

 

I’m sorry, embarrassed, and am soul searching.

But, also, those women are lying.

 

Comcast is going to have to clear house at NBC.

 

Someone mentioned Costas as a replacement, and that was my first thought as well. He doesn't relish the 2 am wake up calls, I bet, and he doesn't need to do it.

I doubt it'll get any traction, but Dan Patrick would do well in that chair.

 

You and Matt Lauer are both searching your souls.

This troubles me.
