Today Show

[plcdude]

I think I have just about reached the limit with this show. Of all the important issues related to upcoming election that need to be discussed the TS is in complete avoidance mode. This morning they had the audacity to spend inordinate time on the tragic air plane crash and then (if you can believe this) and interview of the pedophile who cleverly escaped punishment in Thailand and is now free in the United States. We need to write those who make decisions for the TS on programming just what they ought to be covering in a comprehensive and substantial manner.

1. It's a total waste of time. My 13-y-old calls it "happy talk time."

2. Just a gentle reminder that deficits, war, corruption are not

entertaining issues per se, require some thinking, and provoke viewers into bothering their congresscritters. These goals are incompatible with the goals of the morning "news" shows.

4. If the Today Show was made of paper, it would be on a roll in my

bathroom.
