What you're not seeing is this: How many of the other morning shows covered this, let alone with a tear in their eye about it?
I'm sure La Couric and Mattie exert some sort of editorial control over their newsreading - and determining what gets commented on or what gets passed over in silence is a great deal of what passes for "news" in this country.
glgb was right to call her on her Greenie BS.
I dunno ... I didn't watch this or any of the morning shows, never do.
