I am so annoyed by this, I can't EVEN today. Even over at the Wonkette, folks were saying last night that Lauer wasn't too bad and that he did hold Trump to clarifications and/or called him out on some of the lies. We are in a place now where it's perfectly OK to lambaste Hillary on a non-issue (the fucking emails) not even relevant to what the topic was supposed to be, and constantly interrupt her before she can answer, but even mild pushback on the orange fascist is considered tough journalism. Gross, gross, gross.
Somewhere tonight I saw an inane gif of Lauer on the Today Show gingerly biting into a block of cheese. He should stick to reporting on cheese.
ETA found it

Multimillionaire pretty boy wants to keep this close.

Lauer was harder on Ryan Lochte than Donald Trump. It's scary.
