Not to sound mean, 'cause I totally understand what you're saying...but what did you expect? It's kinda like the story about the scorpion and the frog...scorpion asks for a ride across the brook, promises not to sting the frog, and when he does sting the frog, he tells the frog "that's what I do".
Well, that's what they do. But you know that. It was a pleasant "what did you expect". Get ready for more of it when Walter and Dan and Tom and Ted and Jimmah go the way of the earth.
Oh, you're not being mean. I completely understand what you are saying too and I expected as much from the Today show and the other msm.
It just seemed snobby to me. Sophisticated and worldly does not a newsman make. Talk about some good deeds he done or something, not what his perception to (certain parts of) the world was Katie. (My wife forces me to watch the Today show because she likes pushing my buttons - so sometimes FR is my outlet :-) )
By the way, you are also right. It will be probably be much worse when Ted, Jimmah and the rest go....
