I think the last time I watched the Today Show on a regular basis....was the spring of 1977. Since then, I probably saw bits and pieces on thirty occasions. I would use the word ‘weak’ when describing their journalistic abilities. They were aiming at naive housewives and teenagers. I think through the 1990s...it got to a marginal status and worthless.
To me, it's a rumor, a myth. I can't even picture it.
