The Disgusting Matt Lauer News, and Once Again Vindicating Ann Curry
Daily Beast 10-11-19
by Kevin Fallon
In light of the disgusting revelations that surfaced this week, there are many things I wish for Matt Lauer. Because of those revelations, among many other reasons, I wish to know how NBC News bosses Andy Lack and Noah Oppenheim still have jobs. And because of all the horseshit Ive witnessed covering TV news and morning television over the last decade, there are many things, as always, I wish for Ann Curry.
I wish for her to rise each morning, well-rested, to a breath of crisp, invigorating air. Maybe theres a whiff of warm croissants coming in through the window, stoking an appetite for the knowledge she will immerse herself in that day. I wish for her curiosity about the world to be satiated, but I wish for her to have found the balance between being activated by the news without being too traumatized by the horror of it all. I wish for her to feel things, but not so deeply it hurts.
I wish for her to be greeted every day at 4:30 p.m. with a healthy pour of white wine. I wish for a non-stop parade of knowing, warm smiles from passersby on the streets. I wish for her to stumble on a $20 bill on the street, though I know she will do something saintly with it, rather than indulge in spending it on herself. I wish for her weekends to be spent at the beach, a relaxing convalescence from this crazy thing we call life, energizing her to return to her journalistic pursuits when Monday morning calls.

(9,999 posts)1. She was the first person I thought about when Lauer's shit hit the fan.
Vindication for Ann - damn right!

(4,316 posts)3. She is a real person, and could see through Matt
which can get you fired when others are scared of that.
What about the other co-host Katie Couric. Was she just blind.
Also why did the woman, Brooke Nevils continue to see him. I can see being assaulted and wanting to keep quiet to keep a job, but why continue to see him.

She's still an amazing person in my book. I never liked Matt Lauer one bit. He always seemed like he had a huge ego. Ann on the other hand seems so real and sincere.
