I will still be part of the ‘Today’ show family but I’m gonna have a new timeline, a new role. This is not as I expected to ever leave this couch after 15 years but I am so grateful. Especially to all of you who watch because Matt and I and everyone who sits on this couch, we often call ourselves a family but you are the real ‘Today’ show family.
You are why I have ventured into dangerous places and interviewed dictators and jumped off of planes and off of bridges and climbed mountains and landed in the South Pole and convince the Dalai Lama to come live in our studio. I have loved you and I have wanted to give you the world, and I still do.

OMG. Ann Curry is out at the Today Show, according to reports from the New York Times. “[Matt Lauer] and Ms. Curry noticeably lack the kind of on-camera rapport that Mr. Lauer had with Ms. Vieira and, before her, Katie Couric,” writes NYT media reporter Brian Stelter. NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie’s name is being mentioned most as a possible co-host replacement, Stelter tweeted.

This is the reporter heckler who yelled at President Obama during his Rose Garden address on immigration and the Dream Act. His name is Neil Monro, and he works at The Daily Caller. That was not journalism, kids. Here’s video.

You can safely assume that my bowels were beginning to twitch slightly about what was going to happen.
Piers Morgan in one interview with investigators shortly after the government announced an investigation into a stock-tipping scandal centered on the tabloid he edited, The Daily Mirror. We got our hands on a bunch of documents that surfaced this quote (and many more!). (via newsweek)

Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” decided to make a 4-minute video looking back at Obama’s first term. It’s even more “Fair and Balanced” than you’d think. (via Politico

[A] bunch of lying scum.
That’s how Roger Ailes, Fox News chairman, described New York Times reporters in a speech at Ohio University Monday night. A senior Fox News executive says he regrets using that language.

Ah, our favorite nwktumblr feature is back: the also-rans! These are the alternate versions of our ’First Gay PresidentNewsweek cover that were left on the cutting room floor.

Which one’s your favorite? Your tumblrs are really digging Oliver Munday’s #2, but also like the simplicity #6 (the quote over white) brings to the table.

Kind of digging the quote on white too.
