Rarely am I as outraged by the dying Democrat "mainstream" media as I am today. Usually, inconsequential mice like Lauer can be brushed off like dandruff, but this latest cheap shot at Bush must get a full airing and should be seen by as many people as possible. You will get the idea quickly, within the first minute or so of this YouTube video (link below and above).
In the video you will see Lauer show a portion of his recent interview with Bush during which he asked Bush about Kanye West's declaration in the aftermath of Hurrican Katrina that, "George Bush doesn't like black people." Bush responded:
"It was one of the most disgusting moments of my presidency."
End of clip, and now back at the studio, here is what Lauer looks into the camera and says:
"Here's a two-term president who ran the country during Katrina, 9/11, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the financial meltdown, and he's pointing the finger at Kanye West and that incident as the worst moment in his presidency."
See what Lauer did there? He turned Bush's phrase, "one of the most disgusting moments", into, "the worst moment", in order to paint Bush as being more concerned about the inane rantings of a self-absorbed hip-hop artist than he was about the mass murder of 3,000 Americans, the loss of our best and brightest young people in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hurricane Katrina, and the economic mess. Watch this video for yourself and keep your blood pressure pills within reach:
Matt Lauer's Disgusting Cheap Shot - the video
I realize that Lauer has never been accused of being the brightest bub in the chandelier, but even if some mischievous newsroom writers chuckled in astonishment when Lauer actually read the script they gave him, Lauer needs to be held to account. (And yes, shame on Bush for ever sitting down with this scumbag Lauer.)
BUMP
BUMP again, since the lying scumbag is in the news again.
BUMP
...because there is currently another thread going that reports this lying scumbag may finally get fired.
BUMP
BUMP
(Note: This thread is bumped by me every time that lying scumbag Matt Lauer’s name appears in a new FR thread.)
I was just over at Drudge and saw the name, “Matt Lauer”, so I threw up in my mouth a little and then bumped my own thread here, which is what I always do when I see Lauer’s name in the news.
BUMP
