Angry Friday Today Show

Did anyone catch the story on the Today show this morning regarding Geraldo Rivera's upcoming special on underage drinking?

I was especially offended by Katie Couric's remark (keep in mind she is a GLO sorority member, though I can't remember which one) regarding an incident of underage drinking where she said something to the effect "yeah, but this isn't just your average frat party we're talking about..."

And we wonder why Greeks have such a hard time getting positive press coverage....

Thoughts?

That is a terrible generalization for her to make. I say write the show and tell them how offended you were! The address is: today@nbc.com

I think Katie is a Tri-Delt....Amanda, you need to call your nationals & get them to give her a good talking-to!

As if the idea of Geraldo the former pothead/male slut doing a special on underage drinking isn't ludicrous enough...

33 - LOL - I seriously doubt he'd include any of his own personal experiences in the show though......

I think the special airs tonight - I won't be able to watch - someone let me know what kind of light it puts Greeks in - with Geraldo's philosophy, I doubt it will be good in any way, shape, or form though...
