Personally, I’m a little tired of

Highly paid news anchors bashing CEO’s over “their” excesses.

I’m sorry, I just can’t stand watching Matt Lauer, who is making $13 million a year for about 3 hours work a day, bashing CEO’s over their egregious excesses. It’s like watching two fat men arguing over who is fatter.

My wife loves Matt Lauer, so I don’t get any traction at home with this argument. And, I’m pretty sure that I’m not going to get much traction here either, but wtf, I really don’t care. Matt Lauer is essentially a highly paid entertainer, just like a lot of athletes, and negotiated his contract during better times.

I just think that it’s galling that this guy, who really doesn’t do anything, everything is done for him and he just sits in front of a camera, repeating other people’s work, sit’s there and bashes these guys.

Maybe it’s just the Today show that I’m getting tired with. Would somebody please call up the Today show and let them know that Caroline Kennedy is not going to be the next senator from NY, and they can stop covering the story? If you want to see the bias in the media, just look at how the Today show has been covering this. The Today show has been beating this story non-stop, to the point that I’m beginning to wonder what tie that Caroline Kennedy has to the show. WTF.

So, with that, I think that the grumpy critic has said his piece, and will be moving on for now. I hope you have a good day, and if you can’t, well then, keep your misery to yourself. Nobody likes complainers.

Except, of course, when I’m complaining, then you just have to sit back and take it.
