Frasier Star got it right about grubby Koch and Barr of Today Show

Kelsey Grammer, the star of Frasier, should have known better perhaps before he cooperated for an interview with the trite and nauseating David Koch and Natalie Barr, but at least as a trooper he saved his criticism for the show's producer later.

Another opportunity for a decent in-depth interview squandered because the media decided cheap, gutter sensationalism beats news any day.

Koch is a "show pony" whose only interest is his own ratings. To me, he is an ageing has-been who is desperately trying to "hold back the clock" and really has very little to offer the viewing public. On the other hand, I find Natalie Barr to be charming, intelligent and under-rated as a personality.......

The Sunrise program, like its counterpart "Today" can hardly be taken as serious news or current affair commentary.......they are comprised of short grabs, items and interviews aimed at the "getting ready for work/school" category of busy people with short attention spans.

I would read the grower label on the papaya in preference to watching those clowns. 

This was a convenient instance of the Oz media showing great disrespect for a visiting celebrity and shamelessly conducting no research other than to copycat some equally grubby show from overseas.

Australia spends millions promoting its culture and tourism, while media boofheads do their best to undermine those efforts by rankling visitors with ignorance and disrespect.

This is as much a criticism of those who watch the pap and do not demand better.

LOL LOL

True.

And I say go Kelsey!, who would have more brains in his little finger than any of those presenters....probably all of them put together.
