Today Show "should be sued" for quoting old/biased Time Mag. Poll
Katie and Howard Fineman beating the drums for AWOL's 12% lead.

I can see when a poll comes out and you don't know the details...you may share it with viewers.

BUT...when it is proven that it was rigged and "focus" on that poll... that is ANYTHING but journalism.


Now...Katie and Howard are talking about how they will dismiss CBS and any "bad information" about shrub.

They should be sued.

1. That was the most frustrating five minutes of tv I've ever watched
I don't watch the Today Show anymore, but was tuning in to catch the Kelly interview-- I'm so sorry that I did.

10. did you smash in your TV??
I can't watch anymore for fear of smashing in my TV and inadvertently electrocuting myself. Why would I want to do that to myself? Instead I read about the assinine things Katie and Matt say on this site and then send the today show acidic responses. Quite theraputic.

3. Howard is working overtime
he was on MSNBC last night (Joe Scar...) dissing CBS.

He was lamenting that all journalists have is their credibility and if CBS would just come out and reveal their sources and all of their information - that maybe they were duped or felt rushed into releasing this information - it was remarkable in its arrogance.

It was all about the information has not bee proven true, so it should not be out there -

5. He said *all* the Democrats talked about at their convention
Was what John Kerry did in Vietnam. Generalize much, Howie?

7. Ignored the total disaster in Iraq
while saying that * should be judged on his current performance. Now NBC joins Faux and CNN on my "never watch again in my life" list.
