Did anyone see Matt Lauer sink to a new low today?

[ClassWarrior]

Here's the letter I just sent:

Dear Today Show Producers:

What a cheap shot!! Ambushing the parents of the Reservists who refused orders by asking what they would say to the parents of children who lost their lives in Iraq. What the hell does Matt Lauer know about being in a combat zone, much less how one particular situation compares to another? Why doesn’t Lauer ask George W. Bush* or the other members of this immoral administration who appear on the Today Show what they would say to parents of children who lost their lives in Iraq based on administration lies??

What - now the all the blood and death over there is the fault of the poor, obviously rattled woman who was Lauer’s guest, because her daughter refused orders in a situation we don’t yet fully understand?? What’s Lauer going to do for his next act? Crush a kitten’s head live on the air?? You have hit a new journalistic low. But I guess that’s what you can expect when you let spokesmodels on a gossip show pretend they’re real journalists.

Sincerely,

(CW)

1. Matt Lauer doesn't know squat!

IT IS THE DUTY OF A SOLDIER TO REPORT UNSAFE CONDITIONS!!!

The military code of conduct even allows them to refuse an order if they do not have proper equipment

[papau]

2. It is a duty to refuse an order if unsafe equipment - but GOP spin is NBC

- Matt does not do truth - only GOP spin

At least the stupidity of the commander was exposed as he refused to allow time to clean the trucks before switching between jet fuel and diesel.

As the fellow said - and chopper using the load would have added to our - dead by accident and don't count on NBC and other GOP outlets - total dead.

23. Do you have a link for that?

For the military code provision, that is. I'd love to have it to send to a friend who has been critical of these people. Thanks!

3. Matt got the sympathetic mil. haircut--now he's an expert

[ClassWarrior]

8. Oh yeah, his version of Chimpy's fllight suit.

4. Matt Lauer is an idiot. His interviews are very biased and inflammatory

[wicket]

5. OMG, did you really include the asterisk after Bush??

BWAHAHAHAHA, I love it! :thumbsup:

[Vickers]

6. I noticed that too...CLASSIC!

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[ClassWarrior]

9. Yeah, up until recently I hesitated to add the asterisk...

...in LTTEs and the like. But fuck it. His "presidency" is an abberation, as he likes to prove daily.

7. What branch of the military did Matt serve in and what military 'action'

did he participate in? (Ended another sentence with a friggin' preposition dammit.)

Matt Lauer turns my stomach. If only people who served in the military were allowed to report stories about Iraq and Afganistan, then we'd hardly hear damn thing about it. And if all supporters of this war were forced to go fight, it would end tomorrow.

10. Pretty boy Matt is a dickhead.

And that truly was a cheap shot even for a talking head on a fluff show.

[porphyrian]

11. Why the fuck are you watching that asshole?

If I want to watch an asshole spewing shit, I'll install a camera in my toilet.

[ClassWarrior]

13. Know thine enemy.

I can take it - and we all can. We need to nail these fucks every time they trash our nation. CALL, EMAIL, WRITE, VISIT - SHOUT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!! We HAVE the power!!

14. Matt's a gutless old prikkk's shitstain.

Watching the media spin GOP is like watching a short armed man wipe his ass with two strips of Charmin.

12. Before every mission

The unit is required to do a Risk Assessment and report it to their superiors.

[Iris]

15. Just because he has a "buzz cut" . . . n/t

[ClassWarrior]

16. What a phony.

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. HA!

Matt "I'm too sexy for myself" Lauer and Katie "Navy Seals rock" Couric. What a joke they both are. I stopped watching those bush*bots many months ago.

[annabanana]

18. I wrote to tell him he should have had that Mom THANK the kid

for refusing to deliver contaminated fuel, thus SVAING LIVES of other kids over there.
(I also suggested to management that they reassign him immediately to the Green Zone so he can report on what the heck is really going on over there):evilgrin:

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

19. matt should be embedded in their unit

and go out on patrol with them.

[Junkdrawer]

20. Yes I saw it - and thanks for expressing my thoughts better than I could..

Matt is a whore who, if he only had a brain, would find it hard to sleep at nights. :mad:

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Why Doesn't Matt Sign On As A Merc?

Then he could go over there and answer the question himself. I know that would require him giving up his 7 figure income, but if following orders and conducting a war are that critical to him, he could find a way to participate.

[merh]

22. What's his email ad

I will join you in chastizing this poor excuse for a human being (let alone man and/or journalist)!

Love your letter by the way!
