Regardless of what you think of Lochte, the Matt Liar (Lauer) interview was a disgrace. It was the equivalent of watching someone pull the wings off of flies just for the hell of it. I saw a few minutes of it - an elderly relative had the stomach to watch the whole thing and was unusually vociferous in condemning Matt Liar/interview as disgusting.
How many times can you ask the same question, was my thought after the few minutes I listened too.
How about asking Hillary one or two real questions?
NBC used a sizeable chunk of time on the Olympics Prime broadcast to show segments of the Lauer/Lochte interview. They even promoted the conclusion of the interview to be shown on the Today show on Monday. I wonder if they rearranged questions and answers, etc. like happens on "60 Minutes."
This had no business taking time from the athletes, even it it had been accurate. It enraged me. Lauer did to Lochte what the MSM can do to anyone they don't like. Not caring about the actual facts is what they do to conservatives all the time. NBC just had a different type victim this time.
NBC should have known, at the least, that three minutes of the time-stamped videotape were missing from what had been broadcast and wondered why. I despise the MSM.
