Is Sarah Palin to Blame
NBC's Today Show is having a little bit of ratings trouble. So far co-host Ann Curry has been taking most of the blame. However, I wonder if the ratings trouble is not result of Sarah Palin.
In April of this year Sarah Palin was a guest co-host for one hour of the Today Show. Shortly after that show the Today Show lost the ratings race to Good Morning America for the first time in 16 years. Ever since that point, Good Morning America has been closing in on the Today Show and has even beaten the Today Show on a few other occasions.

1. Looks like a cause and effect relationship to me.
Maybe they can talk her into doing a few days on good morning America.

2. Assuming that your scenario is true
the blame would not be with Sarah Palin, but rather with the Management who made the decision to put her on the show.

The tank primitive sure blew that out of the water, eh?

IIRC, the ratings for the day that Sarah was on were their highest ever or at least higher than any recent ratings had been.
Sarah Palin won her second TV battle with Katie Couric.
Palin's controversial guest-hosting stint on "Today" helped propel the show to a ratings victory on Tuesday. That's not news in and of itself -- after all, "Today" has won nearly every day for 16 years -- but Couric's week-long return to morning television on "Good Morning America" has added a new intensity to the proceedings.
"Today" drew 5.497 million viewers, with 2.209 million of them in the coveted A25-54 demo. "GMA" drew 5.141 million viewers, with 1.917 million in the demo.

Yeah, basically after her appearance, the audience realized how bad the show they had been watching before that appearance really was, and left after Sarah's gig was done and the show returned to its normal level of suckage.

I think they are secretly in love with her, or really fear her. Either way, it is a good thing. I love the fact that they are fixated on her like they are, as it makes their stupidity shine.

Bingo!

I have a Facebook friend who keeps calling her "irrelevant." Of course, he also couldn't resist blaming her for the Giffords shooting. I wish he'd make up his mind.

Exactly. She is so irrelevant that she gets mentioned on MSNBC at least five times and hour.

Did you point this out to him?

I thought about it, but decided not to. I didn't want to deal with his legion of butt-kissers who would have come to his defense.
