Everyone's favorite pilot, Chesley Sullenberger is a little less popular with Matt Lauer this week.
Sullenberger originally promised an exclusive interview to NBC's Today Show host. The interview was supposed to take place on January 19. That morning, however, Lauer announced that the interview was postponed because the pilot's union wanted to give the NTSB investigation more time.
Lauer said he "completely understands" the request but promised his audience that the interview would happen. Now, it seems the hero pilot is gliding past Lauer and telling his story to CBS News' Katie Couric.

Time to start digging through Sully’s trash and following his children to see if they jaywalk.

Sarah Palin (and Joe the Plumber) were modern day versions of the media attack when “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington”.
This hero pilot must have seen Frank Capra’s “Meet John Doe” and how the media treated him as well.

You’re joking, but they’re probably doing it as we speak.

But he’s going with Couric....no improvement there. I hope he asks her what she reads.

It would seem to me that a promise is a promise, and as much as I loathe Matt Liar, I hope the hero pilot works something out that is fair to both.

"even more" I don't see how sitting down with Katie Couric is an admirable quality.

As bad as she is, she is worlds better than MSDNC.
Have you ever tuned into that channel?

Maybe his wife wants to have breakfast with Jackie at the White House...Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have yet to here zero even mention this pilot let alone offer any praise.
I guess zero is afraid to stand in his (the pilots) shadow.
