This morning on NBC’s morning “news” show, Matt Lauer… sorry, Matt Loser, again demonstrated why morning shows should not try to cover any topic related to news.

Matt Loser was interviewing a reporter from the Arabic news station that first aired the Osama Bin Ladin tape right after the air attacks began. In serious reporter-like fashion Loser asks, “Don’t you think that by airing that video you are showing anti-American sentiment?” The reported answered with nicely political answer.

I’m thinking, I remember seeing it on NBC a few hundred times. In fact, it was on American TV so much that Condi Rice, Dubbya’s National Security Advisor, called the major networks (except for the WB - see below) and told them to stop airing it amid fears it could contain secret signs to cells in the US. But when an Arabic station shows that video, it’s anti-American sentiment. When NBC shows the video, it’s news. Go figure.

Ah well. I should stop bitching. I have better things to do. Like practicing my ski jumps. Taranis bet me I couldn’t jump over his truck.
