On the Today show this morning, Katie Couric was promoting a segment that would talk about the apparent staged inteview with soldiers in Iraq. A few moments later the show went to correspondent Michelle Kosinski, reporting on location about the floods in New Jersey. Kosinski was canoeing in what looked to be in deep water. However as the segment begin two men walked in front of her in what looked to be a few inches of water. Michelle Kosinski attempted to brush this off, however Katie and Matt couldn’t stop laughing about the situation.

I amd shocked that a major television network would stage a news piece in any way. Yea, right….........

Beautiful irony.

Cool. How Stupid do they think we are!!??
6:47 pm
wow…..they sure don’t give us any reason to question their integrity, truthfulness, or “journalistic integrity”. When are you media folk going to buy a clue?

Ian-
Blogs for Bush is reporting that Lorie Byrd from Polipundit and other bloggers are going to be on CNN tonight about the Mier’s nomination.
Heck what show is it going to be on? Please catch it-I’ve just sat through Lou Dobbs and he is sickening.
Blogs for Bush is not saying which show and I don’t think Lorie has had the time or access to post it at Polipundit.

It’s all Bush’s fault

Thanks for the video.
What absolute jerks. Why does anyone tune in to this drivel? We give these idiots far too much cultural power.

The media tells us what to think, but here in Canada we let the beers tell us what to do, and the whisky too.

The DNC needs a new media coordinator to avoid this type of situation. Never mind the lefties are never held accountable for anything. Buried or never reported by the old media.

wow – a VIDEO blonde-joke!

Congrats on the Drudge link Ian…

What a joke. I haven’t trusted the three “main” networks since the 2000 presidential elections. Doesn’t suprise me at all.
7:55 pm
I see the news organizations are still DanRathering the news. I guess they want to continue to ride that fiction bandwagon of the Harry Potter books and movies by wagging the dog perfected by Dan Rather. Cool! I wonder, though, when did Yellow Journalism become the new black?
8:26 pm
The media staging trick photography to give an impression that a natural disaster was really a whole lot worse than it really was?
Nah, they would never do something like that!
Bush ‘stages’ a chat with troops in Iraq and the Today show is all over it. A reporter stages a scene to look like she’s in deep water when she’s floating a canoe in a big puddle.

[...] Need proof that the media make mountains out of molehills? Check out this clip from NBC’s Today Show, courtesy of The Political Teen. Katie Couric and Matt Lauer can’t help but poke fun at the reporter at the end of the segment (watch the whole thing, it’s worth it): On the Today show this morning, Katie Couric was promoting a segment that would talk about the apparent staged inteview with soldiers in Iraq. A few moments later the show went to correspondent Michelle Kosinski, reporting on location about the floods in New Jersey. Kosinski was canoeing what looked to be in deep water.

“Staged” media coverage
The latest manufactured tempest in the teapot that is the mainstream media is their accusation that Bush’s Q&A with the soliders in Iraq was “staged”. Well, coming from folks who stage things all the time (ahem…the news) I guess they…

This is hilarious. Rush was talking about this and how the Today Show had done a segment on the “staged” Bush-soldiers teleconference.

You’d think the MSM (NBC) would realize they have been in “deep water” for several years now. But it aint water
The Kanoeing Konsinski says:
“Hey…was that a Baby Ruth or a Brown Trout that just floated by?”

Row, row, row your boat…Even when you don’t have
Everybody has linked this, but it is to funny/typical/ironic/sad not to:
I would say I am shocked, but I am not. Stupid, lying, exaggerating MSM. Sigh

Michelle Kosinski’s little boat
This is just too funny. Reporting from New Hampshire, reporter Michelle Kosinski is seen paddling in a canoe to illustrate just how deep and dangerous the floods of New England are. Then two people walk by up to their ankles

Why is it that the party of “personal responsibility? immediately tries to shift the blame to someone else every time they screw up? Please no lame excuses.

NBC Floating in Shallow Water
While the left is in their on “ah ha!” moment at “staged teleconference,” the left wing MSM flagship NBC will undoubtedly get a pass on their staging of Michelle Kosinski’s canoing on less than shallow flood waters. (Political Teen has the video)...

When someone meets with the president on live TV, they take the time to prepare. You want to talk about staging, then explain the link!

Weird. All of my messages disappeared. Censorship, in a fascist forum? No way! I wont believe it! You can’t make me buy it! They would never do that! Impossible!

Person deleting my messages, shave off your shoe polish dot mustache, put your arm down and stop screaming in German. We can ‘liberate’ you. We are the allies. Come over to us. We pill ‘protect’ you.

That video is hilarious, by the way. Instead of griping about the media being biased, you should gripe about it sucking. From the ‘Today’ show to ‘Hannity and Colmes’, it’s dumbed down, simple-minded, slobber. They pander to the most poorly informed among us. They offer nothing in-depth. It’s a race to perfect superficiality.
3:04 pm
The result is there is no proper context for anything. People must have basic knowledge of institutions, policies, events, circumstances, etc. Else, they cannot properly make a decision or form an opinion. It’s chaos.

I don’t see how NBC was exaggerating anything. This is Jersey we’re talking about. I was expecting to see Godzilla come out of the water and swallow her up.
