Today Show has that asshole Goldberg on who wrote "Screwing up America"
Giving this idiot total credence, and of course Matt Lauer isn't challenging this crap.

It should be called Today's Psyops Show.

1. This clown as gotten so much press over such a silly book
Almost no one I have heard listed in his book effects anyone's lives. John Stewart slammed him saying that the book would make sense if it were filled with people in power and policy makers, the people who do make a difference. The dumbing down of America continues with this guy getting all the media attention.

3. How hard would it be to write the Left wing version?
A culling of old DU Top 10's could provide the content (mostly).

I guess the hard part would be stooping at 100!

:rotf:

(For marketing/political reasons it should probably go to 101, just to one-up them). Who is the Progressive counterpart to Regnery??

5. He was on The Daily Show, and Jon Stewart was great with him
and talked about how the neocons are the ones who are screwing up America.

The Daily Show had someone to rebut this crap, and Matt Lauer was giving this idiot credence.

9. Like yesterday and "The DaVinci Code" story
They interviewed William Donohue from the Catholic League and Michael Medved (famous right-wing blogger). No balance whatsoever.

10. Lauer confused him w/ reality show winner
The Today show has deteriorated into a mindless mess of media pablum.
No Cindy, no coverage of the rapidly approaching inflation spike... no we get a muddering fool, Facsist wanabee instead.
TURN IT OFF!

11. When I saw that President Jimmy Carter was on his list
I knew he was a complete idiot.
My sister & I were talking about this last night. How could any sane person say Carter, who has dedicated his life to helping others, be "screwing up America"? He is IMHO our greatest Statesman.

15. LAUER Needs to Go. He's Gotten More and More Wingnutty & Unpleasant
as time goes on. Something like the way David BRINKLEY did, though not in the same category.

16. Why Not Katie?
She loves to go after these wingnuts? She looks so cute and innocent, then rips into them. I saw her take down David Duke one time. It was a beautiful thing.

Lauer is a lightweight.

18. Matt Lauer interview with Bernard Goldberg
While going through my early morning ritual of reading DU, sipping my first cup of java, my hubby exploded into the room, breathing fire and a stream of profanity that would shock a whore. Every other word that exploded from his mouth was Matt Lauer or Goldberg.

Now I am really pissed off at Matt Lauer not because I listened to this interview but because this has set my hubby off for the day in a bad mood. He is now composing his e-mail to Matt and I have to say Matt's lucky his red-headed rage is unable to be transferred along with the printed word.

I can't understand why these supposedly educated people think that their viewers are buying into their one-sided interviews and they call themselves journalists/news reporters yet they do neither. Reading the scrits that have been handed out can be done by any elementary school kid and millions of dollars could be saved by the media moguls.

They report Georgie drop in the polls and they know that people do not trust the media yet they continue the same path????

19. I think required watching for every American is Broadcast News..
the second expose on the "intelligence" of a picture perfect anchor. The first one was Ted on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

It was almost hilarious when Lauer was told to beat up on Kitty Kelly and by overcompensating he looked posititvely rabid, while she held her poise with stunning aplumb.
