I don't think I'll ever watch the Today Show again.

[Jamison]

It has progressively gotten worse over the years.

It's to the point now where Katie Coric, Matt Lauer, and Tim Russert are all like Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly altogether on the same show. I'd even go so far as to say that the Today Show is to the right of Fox News.

Who else wants to join me in boycotting these neo-con media whores?

[MuseRider]

1. NEVER watch them

I stopped years ago. Can't stand it. I used to watch years ago because it was news. Now it is just either silly or stupid, revolting stuff.

[neoblues]

6. My thoughts exactly...

Can't stand them and can't understand how anyone could tolerate, much less actually like(?)(is that possible?) watching those opinionated, facile, no-talent hacks. It seems to me, there very much is a segment of America that really does deserve what they're getting and going to get--if only the rest of us weren't forced to endure the results of their stupidity with them.

[cantstandbush]

32. I stopped watching them when Couric took over. n/t

[redstateblues]

2. Never forget GE owns NBC and they make bomber engines

War Is Good- They make a lot of money to sustain the status quo. I only watch Olberman and listen to AAR.

[sam sarrha]

3. dont take it personally, it is what sells.. it isn't real, but that doesn't

matter to corporate whores.. only the money..

i quit watching it the second day that blond bitch started yapping her bullshit..

[9119495]

5. Ummm... Matt Lauer is actually a brunette. Check the color

knob on your picture.

[peekaloo]

8. LOL

:thumbsup:

[sam sarrha]

33. i was talking about the bitchy blond on CNN, the whole place filled with

NeoCon Whores... i wasnt even interested in what her name was.. i dont watch CNN to know what is on and who is who..

that is my point:thumbsdown:

[9119495]

37. Just having fun. I'd say the male network bimbos (mimbos) are

bitches too. I must be ten years without the today show. I'm down to Olberman and Stewart/Colbert...and happy.

[Cha]

4. I stopped watching that all shit

on Nov 6, 2002..I'm not into being masochistic with the corporate news.

I realize some have to watch to see what the USA's enemy is up to..don't we have mediamatters for that?

[helderheid]

7. I'll only watch if DUers go and are part of the crowd with signs telling

the truth.

[xiamiam]

9. already stopped...easier on the blood pressure..nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. I stopped watching probably going on five years now.

Can't stand Katie Navy Seals rock! Couric or Matt I'm too sexy for myself Lauer! and their corpate a$$ kissing of Pinhead** and his evil agenda. Especially when I'm pretty sure it's all about M.O.N.E.Y. and TAX CUTS for these two GREED PIGS! :puke:

[Bridget Burke]

11. I gave up on it after J Fred Muggs left.

Neither Katie nor Matt can fill his shoes. Although he didn't wear shoes. And he worked for bananas!

(Yes, I'm old.)

[iamthebandfanman]

12. me

i havent watched in a couple years now.
they were good about 10-12 years ago, i dunno what happened.

my take is that alot of mainstream media just supports whoevers in control of the country, regardless of party.
they dont wanna loose priviledges n what not, since they are infact a corporation.

[thinkingwoman]

13. I stopped 5 years ago

not too long after Katie "I am just a pretty face" Couric questioned the need to cook hamburgers all the way through. She acted like she'd never heard of E-coli before, even though it had been discussed at length on her show and every other for several years already.

It was even the political nonsense for me, it was the profound lack of sense, education, and intelligence.

Go ahead and stop watching. You'll be glad you did, and your mornings will be much nicer. :-)

[ugarte]

14. I'll stick with Al Roker on the Food Channel

where they all belong anyway.

[chelsea0011]

15. I stopped when Gumble left. Remember how he got into a whirl

of sh*t when he commented that there should be more serious news and less Willard Scott? Gumble left , Scott stayed.

[951-Riverside]

16. What happened?

[Wordie]

17. I hate "cute news," but Kerry did very well, imho. eom

[Zenlitened]

18. But but but... how will you ever know how to grill a piece of chicken?

:sarcasm:

[Jamison]

21. Grilling

I'll out-grill that blond bitch any day of the week. I worked (the grill of course) at an authentic roadside Southern BBQ stand for 2 summers when I was in H.S.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

19. Money talks

They see the Fox ratings. They are there to make money, not to deliver news.

[medeak]

20. haven't watched since Hillary was on with Katie over Monica

[Greyhound]

22. My support is meaningless since I haven't watched that drek for

mnay, many years. I just can't stand "infotainment", I find it offensive and insulting.

[underpants]

23. I'm with you today just about did it

I will have to watch the laughfest on CNN or maybe just start tuning in the kids shows for our baby.

That was ridiculous. Last week when Katie took on Dean did you notice how she had her talking points (WRONG talking points) ready to go for him?

[ecoalex]

24. Couric asks loaded questions

And is pro *. The whole NBC set up is slanted towards *, and the Weise Haus talking points. Couric is blatantly a drone of *.

[underpants]

27. What's worse is that her sister was the head of the Va. Dem party

she was diagnosed with cancer and died shortly there after.

The right is SURE that Katie is a liberal and we see her clearly right slanted questions.

Oh well. Look up her sister. They look remarkably alike.

[GR]

28. You Know, I Dont This She Is...She's Posturing For Career Leverage

To me, she knows what it will take to get that CBS Evening News job and it's Bush-Friendliness...I don't believe she thinks Bush is right about anything but she's putting her own political convictions aside to earn more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ as an anchor.

God I miss Dan Rather, who had some damn integrity...

[GR]

25. I Will Continue Watching...For The Time Being...

Because this is the most watched morning show and it's how a lot of people have their opinions formed so I want to know what they are saying...I have pretty much given up Hardball because of Matthew's shameless Bush Pandering.

That said, I was thoroughly disgusted with Katie's confrontational interview with John Kerry this morning. She took a rude stance from the beginning and constantly interrupted everything he said.

I was terribly disappointed in her bald-face ignorance of the Abramoff bribery scandal and her argumentative and stupid line of questioning with Dean.

In fairness, she had been sick, but there's no excuse for such stupidity.

Unless she changes her ways, I would really question making her the CBS Evening News Anchor, but Bob Shieffer is also showing himself to be a pure-dee Bush shill as evidenced by his soft-balling of Bush over the weekend interview. John Stewart smashed his ass beautifully for that.

[underpants]

26. VIDEO-#4 of 18

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032633/

[Wordie]

29. Is Cindy Sheehan still scheduled to be on? If not, I'm turning to

something else. I haven't watched the Today show in ages, and have only made an exception because I would like to see the Sheehan interview. (I'm glad I caught Kerry's SOTU response though, which was excellent.)

Please let me know about Cindy Sheehan. Thanks.

[SoCalDem]

30. I quit those shows ages ago.. when they started getting too "folksy"

The whole switch was to be more "Mom-friendly", which struck me as totally condescending..like Moms couldn't understand news, or bear to watch anything that was not seeded with recipes and movie start gossip.

I also abhor the phony banter between the hosts. I am glad they get along and all, but surely they could socialize off camera. It's supposed to make us all feel like we are there with them, sharing their camaraderie, but it's just cheap voyeurism..

Like Katie Couric (or any of them) would give a commoner the time of day..without the camera rolling....or that most commoners would even WANT them to.. Most people's lives are busy.. they want certain things from their news.. They want to know what happened, where it happened, when it happened..they want to know if it's gonna rain on their traffic to work or on the kids on their way home from school..

It aggravates me to no end that there is SO much TV time available to really enlighten people, and they choose to waste it on drivel..

[AgadorSparticus]

31. I watched one episode of the today show and wanted to puke.

Couric and Lauer annoy me to no end. It wasn't hard to never tune in again. I can't watch the View either. Actually, there are very few shows that I CAN watch which is just as well....

[xxqqqzme]

34. stopped years ago when

couric was being nasty and argumentative w/ Hillary; causing HC 2 blurt out the VRWC defense. I was appalled that couric would be that rude 2 a first lady. couric appears 2 have an extremely high opinion of herself

[deutsey]

35. I stopped watching most corporate news around November 2000

[question everything]

36. Never watch them... except around the half hour when it breaks

for local stations. Their local affiliate is the best for traffic and weather..

Couric was cute when she was thirty something, but there is nothing charming about a fifty year old woman trying to be cute. I cannot believe that CBS was actually, perhaps still is, considering her to anchor the evening news.

I watch the CBS morning show - the least offensive of them all.

[Cleita]

38. I don't have to join you as I stopped watching that morning crap

years ago when Ted Turner launched CNN. Now that CNN has become a echo chamber of Fox News, I don't watch any of it. I turn on my computer and get my news here and other internet sources.

[MsUSA]

39. da.......I haven't watched ANY of the morning shows

for years. Get off them NOW.
