Gee- none of the MSNBC talking heads mentioned Lauer's miserable performance.

Imagine that!

1. Not surprising

Let's see if morning joke mentions it

2. They all get paid from the same pot.

3. Their mouths are full of you know what I mean.

4. Well....

They have to sit next to Brian Williams and pretend that he wasn't jettisoned to them in scandal. He went from informing millions of viewers on the evening news to hosting a daily recap show at 11pm.


Also, if the rumors about Anne Curry are true, I wouldn't fuck with Lauer either. He holds too much sway and NBC is cancellation happy (unless it's Smash or The Mysteries of Laura).

5. National Enquirer Trumps buddy

Last week had Matt Lauer and his coke dealer on the front page. I knew then the fix was in and he would throw it for Trump. He did.

6. He is part of the MSNBC/NBC family

There is no way they will bash Matt.

7. Was it mentioned on CNN or any other network?

They all stick together, but his performance was sexist and appalling.

8. Lauer compared to what?

Since most of M$NBC's on-air talent has no idea what real journalism looks like or sounds like, maybe they thought he did pretty well for a guy who makes his living talking to celebrities on an early morning TV chat show.
