Well Matt Lauer, I hope you are proud of yourself. You too, NBC. Your treatment of Ann Curry was one of the biggest unprofessional blunders in the history of broadcast news. Matt Lauer balked at his contract until he got a big raise and the stipulation that he would get a new co-host. Leaks from NBC have been reporting that Ann Curry would be replaced for weeks and yet she had to show up on national television and do her job in a hostile work environment. And then she had to tell the world she was fired while sitting next to Matt Lauer as he patted her back and pretended to be sad. At the end of the video you can see her literally cringe as Lauer goes in for a hug. The whole thing is just outrageous and unbelievable. Good Morning America should just open their show tomorrow morning by saying, we’d like to welcome all our new viewers who are boycotting The Today Show over their crappy treatment of Ann Curry.
