17. He golfs with that pig?
Two pigs in a poke! Truly sickening!
The unpersoning of Matt has begun.

16. Remember the forum he hosted with Trump and Clinton
and how utterly unfair he was at it. Yet another sexist pig who has a big media position in 2016. At what point are we going to understand that Clinton lost almost entirely because the media was at best OK with sexists and at worst a bunch of sexists.

19. I read on DU that Keith Olbermann suggested that another sex scandle
might be coming and involving someone on MSNBC. But Lauer is at NBC?
Speaking of Keith, why did he quit his GQ pod casts? It ain't the BS reason he gave about Trump being through :whistling:

21. Just watched him officiating the Thx-giving parade..
..with Samantha Guthrie on YouTube Monday night and said to the hubs, "there's something about that guy I don't like." I swear I did.
If I remember correctly, I've heard him make some sympathic remarks about wingers in the past; so, I think that was it.
Duppers knew all along Matt was bad. Bill Clinton, John Conyers, Charlie Rose and the rest, not so much.

With all these high-paid on-air people getting the boot, broadcast media profitability might get boost. Not that the hysterical partisanship will get dialed down ... the opposite seems more likely to me as the younger talking heads try to make a name for themselves and get careless.

Sadly, you are probably correct.

This great purge started with just one target--President Trump, but Trump is still standing.
Leftists are going to have to comfort themselves with the scalps of Ailes an O'Reilly (Matt Lauer doesn't count as a conservative, sorry dummies).
A rough estimate, a 10:1 ratio of leftists to conservatives getting crushed in this purge that was started with the expressed purpose of taking down the president.

The thread is still active. Pulled this gem out before it got purged.

45. It always disturbed me...
His creepy affinity for dressing in drag on their Halloween specials.
I never liked his arrogance and narcissistic behavior. But after what he did to Ann Curry, those feelings were amplified. That is pretty much when I stopped watching the Today Show.
Flagging for review for being transphobic in 3, 2, 1...

The libs decided to use sexual misconduct as a way to take out conservatives but the tiger got loose and turned on its handlers.

It's looking like Lauer was another Weinstein - well known as an abuser and for having cultivated the ability to destroy any woman who dared try to stop him.
-
Lauer, Weinstein, and company had to know what they were getting into when they cast their lots with liberalism. How the process goes is well documented. You're a god to them until they don't need you anymore, and then you're gone and they never heard of you. I have no sympathy for any of these high profile libs who enjoy riding the wave only to then crash and burn.

Yeah, now they can hire a bunch of illegals for minum wage to do the shows. It doesn't even matter if they speak english, only liberals watch and as long as their mouths are moving it is good enough. :lmao: :lmao:

I was gratified to learn that Garrison Keillor, host of public radio's A Prairie Home Companion, got the axe too. I always despised the way he ridiculed rural and small town folk as ignorant oafs and city denizens as the enlightened ones.
Apparently Garrison never met a product of big blue city Democrat-machine-operated high schools.

Yep, plus: a senior "news" editor at NPR; Jake Tapper's producer.
Jack Ketch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ketch) has been busy today. :-)

^^^ This.

They wore the racist thing out so they backed up and decided to go with the sexual harassment angle. It as always worked before... except they have never met someone like President Trump and libbies should have never opened that door. Now that they have, the liberal weenie genie is out of the bottle and it ain't going back into it.
And President Trump is still President, hillary ain't, and long time liberal donors and their pols and getting some karma right up their hypocrite asses.
What ain't to like? President Trump understands them better than they understand themselves and is beating them at their own game... all he did was dangle the bait out there a little bit. They bit on it, hard, and now the man has got to be laughing his ass off in the White House.

My previous employer was a defense contractor. One annual time-wasting ritual was training against sexual harassment. It was a waste of an hour, every damned year. How long does it take to say, "Don't be an asshole! Treat fellow employees respectfully!" BTW, the training videos had a timing function that prevented people from skipping through the material and taking the common sense tests. You had to waste that hour!
So I'm thoroughly enjoying the rain of falling pompous entertainment, "news", and politicians whose hypocrisy finally caught up with them.\
I wonder, will the Oscars still have pompous hypocrites lecturing normal people about how we should live? Fox should do a "Fact-Checking the Oscars Speeches" program the following night.
