While few sentient TV viewers would consider morning show entertainment TV as an example of journalism; still, many good 'ol, solid American citizens who watch, biding time until the Jerry Springer Show comes on, see vacuous, spong brains like Matt Lauer play banal little visual "gotcha" games like this one. Lauer likely thinks that the crap he is told to present on TV by the producers are red hot political exposes, but he hasn't got the necessary intelligence or judgement to distinguish a transparent, stupid stunt from a Michael Savage outrage.
Our TV screens are now full of mindless career pursuing idiots like Blitzer, Russert, Glen Beck, Arianna, those trained seals on Fox News, bottom feeders like Limbaugh and Imus, the - - well - - the list seems endless.
The answer: DON'T WATCH.
Let the "mainstream" media, especially TV, fill the air with excrement, but ignore the stupid parade. Forget about the "debates", dump bozos like Lauer, and read a good book instead.
The problem, however, is that those good 'ol solid American citizens who watch Springer and pro wrestling also VOTE !
