One wonders what the president’s image would be if the legacy media weren’t covering for him. “The broadcast network evening and morning” newscasts have yet to cover the administration’s plan to force Catholic charities and hospitals “to cover sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs and contraception without a co-pay” in their health insurance plans.
And lthough “NBC News did manage to cover Michelle Obama’s appearance on Ellen” last Thursday, Mark Hemingway reports that not a single national news program covered Attorney General Eric Holder’s congressional testimony on the Fast & Furious gunrunning scandal. “Nor did it make the front page of the Washington Post, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, or USA Today the following day.”
Instead of pressing the president on these issues, when interviewing President Obama before the Super Bowl, the Today Show’s Matt Lauer, served up, as the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard put it, “this gem“:
Mitt Romney is the guy who’s running for your job. He may eventually become the nominee. He’s a guy who’s been incredibly successful in his life and career. He’s made a lot of money. It’s not a crime. It’s part of the American Dream. Do you think though that Mitt Romney can identify with the middle class and the underclass in this country.
Seems Matt Lauer relishes playing Obama’s megaphone.
The very mention of the term “underclass” betrays Lauer’s overt limousine-Liberal leanings.
“Hey, do you think a guy who spent is formative years in an Indonesian Madrassah, followed by years of mentoring by a black homosexual communist, then isolated in an Ivy League cocoon before becoming a community organizer allied with an unrepentant terrorist can identify with American Mainstream middle class.”
A question that will never be asked.
What a country.
Matt Lauer dropped out of Ivy Tech, a community college in Indiana. Then he went to tiny Ohio University in Athens, Ohio and enrolled in the School of Telecommunications and then dropped out of that school, as well. He worked behind the camera on a local TV news show in Huntington, West Virginia. From there he gypsied around and eventually made his way to the Today Show. Ohio University awarded him “his” degree in 1997 based on the “independent study” he had undertaken in becoming famous.
An now, Matt Lauer is a go-to guy for interviewing the President of the United States.
The MSM is a side show of powdered faces reading telepromters. Telepromters work on the basis of mirror images and so do the MSM.
Lauer has “Hollywood” disease. He has reached stardom and he really doesn’t have much to offer other than the mysterious “quality” factor that makes a few human beings have the ability to connect with viewers in a controlled environment. Lauer gets paid really big bucks for his commercial success for NBC, but even Lauer does not know for certain why he is there.
Matt Lauer is a douche bag.
And yet, I bet Matt Lauer sneers at Sarah Palin for attending five different colleges.
Not to mention, Al Gore failed out of law school and divinity school, but he is still supposedly smarter than George W. Bush who graduated from Harvard Business School. (I bet matty looks down on him as an imbecile as well.)
When the lunatic fringe takes over the GOP asylum and media pundits routinely trash OBAMA kow towing to their wealthy and special interest employers (owners), Matt Lauer is a breath of fresh air.
… if you have fetish for balding, middle aged men farting on your face.
When is the Today show going to drop Matt Lauer in Antarctica & leave him there permanently during a “Where in the World is Matt Lauer” segment.
