'Today' Reporter Paddles in Shallow Water

[Mind_your_head]

~ snip ~
If Michelle Kosinski's canoe had sprung a leak on NBC's "Today" show Friday, she didn't have much to worry about.

In one of television's inadvertently funny moments, the NBC News correspondent was paddling in a canoe during a live report about flooding in Wayne, N.J. While she talked, two men walked between her and the camera _ making it apparent that the water where she was floating was barely ankle-deep.

Matt Lauer struggled to keep a straight face, joking about the "holy men" who were walking on water....

"It's not like we were trying to pass it off as something it wasn't," spokeswoman Lauren Kapp said.

3. So then what was it like, Lauren?

I'm all ears.

[TahitiNut]

5. Yes it was, Lauren. It was exactly "like" that.

In fact it WAS that. Infotainment with a capital "fraud".

4. That is f'n rich

6. I have a friend in NJ. Says it's all hyped up like crazy there.

It's raining and "wet" but the media have it pumped beyond belief.

7. Saw it on Olbermann. He said she had been forced out of deeper water

elsewhere and forced to go to shallower water elsewhere for her own safety.

Why she still chose to demonstrate the height of the water elsewhere by "staging" herself in a boat in that particular area, only to have her shot blown by the two guys walking by, is for her to know.

9. Nothin' like live TV!

Thanks for posting! B-)

10. Those guys walking by must have filled her with...

"SHOCK AND AWE-SHIT!"

[Deja Q]

11. That 11 logo looks like a pair of

bare buttcheeks...

:rofl:

Man, that pic is a twoferone! :spray:

[Caretha]

13. That was not an accident!

What do you want to bet those two guys did it on purpose? I've done lots of local tv interviews at various crowed events. Believe me, no one walks between the "shot" and the camera and all the BS it takes to do it.

I can just hear these two guys plotting this...."look at this ditzy blonde reporter sitting in a canoe with a paddle...why don't we..hehe

:rofl:

[Mind_your_head]

14. Ya think? (that those two guys did it on PURPOSE?????)

How DARE those guys ruin a perfectly good lie! (stomping foot!)

Does it bother you at all that the "Reporter" Ms. Konarski staged it "on purpose" to look so much worse/dramatic than it actually was????

BTW, to the two gentlemen: :toast: Well Done! :-)

edit: it's Kosinski, but I'm not gonna bother to REALLY correct it
