NBC's Matt Lauer Urges Obama to Prevent Unfair 'Income Distribution'
Newsbusters ^ | 10-27-11 | Kyle Drennen

In an interview with former White House press secretary and Obama campaign advisor Robert Gibbs on Thursday's NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer fretted over a report showing "the rich are getting richer" and pleaded: "So what responsibility does President Obama have in terms of dealing with income distribution in this country?" [Audio available here]

Lauer began his push from the left by explaining: "Some of these young people are the same young people who are occupying parks across the country and they're out there protesting Wall Street. They're also protesting the White House."

My first thought was that in order to "fairly distribute" Matt's wealth, he should be allowed to live 3x better than the average American, since he's an important morning news anchor and all... So his salary should immediately be slashed to 3 times the average American's salary of $69,000 a year, or $207,000 a year. That should be plenty for Matt, and it's certainly a lot more fair.

Let the Today show be a leader in this distribution movement. NBC should pool the Today show’s income/benefits budget and divide it evenly among the staff .. Matt, clerks and secretaries, cameramen, producers, writers, makeup artists and hair stylists, the drivers who pick the stars up at their homes at 4am .. just everyone who works on the show. It would only be fair.

How did we get to a place where the mainstream national press endorses the premise here?

An overpaid, brainless, do-nothing demagogue who sits with his back to a huge window at street level should really, really think a little more deeply before shooting off his stupid mouth.

Partisan Media Shill ping.
