*Today Snubs 9/11*

Was it a political motive or just another PR error by the Today Show?

While millions of viewers were watching a moment of silence in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks, NBC's Today Show decided its viewers were more interested in Kris Jenner's breast implants.

The long-running morning show saw it's ratings lead disappear in the last year and appears to be looking for higher ratings instead of important events.

Critics from across the country have labeled the incident as "a major shot in the foot" to "a poor choice" to "bad taste."  Whether important or not, many former fans of the program are calling for a boycott on Twitter.

The moment of silence was not a late-breaking or unscheduled event.  It is likely the Today Show team knew of the event and decided not to honor the memory of those killed during the attacks.

Since part of the event was with the president, it would be natural for the network that supports his re-election the most would air the event.

Apparently, the Today SHow has lost touch with news and important events.  It is more important in Hollywood glitz and families that have questionable taste.  The Today Show now joins that slate of shows with little more value than some of the sensational talk shows available.

I am sure Dave Garroway is spinning in his grave
