All the cable networks and rival morning shows Good Morning America on ABC and CBS This Morning carried the moment of silence this morning to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama led the moment from Washington. TVNewser says, though, that NBC’s Today instead aired its interview with Kris Jenner of Keeping Up With The Kardashians fame in which she discussed her breast implants. In New York, the NBC local station did break in to the interview to carry special coverage of the event at the World Trade Center site, where NY police and firemen, the Port Authority and the families of victims were in attendance.


DISGUSTING! They should be ashamed.
Why does she merit any attention? Seriously. Our culture is in a really bad place. No wonder so many people are depressed and angry.
well put, completely agree.
This speaks to everything that’s wrong with Today these days. Ann Curry was bad, the way they got rid of her was worse, and above all, the content is terrible. How Jim Bell still has a job is beyond me.
NBC…..
way to earn 4th place!
…will distroy it’s sports division next.
I’m sure they figured they could just air it on tape delay like the Olympics.
This just tells you that Reality TV Celeb interviews are more important to NBC and its ratings, they would rather forget about the events of 9/11. If only everyone would adopt the George Costanza principle of doing everything the opposite, this country would be a better place to live in.
Reality TV is a waste of your precious time, when you could be spending quality time with your family and friends, or coming up with a new business idea, to get you out of this financial mess we are all in.
So shocking I don’t believe it… I guess 9-11 didn’t affect anybody outside of NY.
The Today Show is filmed in the heart of NYC, grit. If anyone should be sensitive to 9/11, it’s the employees at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
I worked also…
Pimping and Prostitution reign supreme in the Kardasian Household and Bob Wright helms NBC! SO, there’s Your Answer. A No-Brainer! All you need is a pathetic, sociopathic, greedy Mother, ie Kris, brain-absent father, ie Bruce, and 4 little dress up doll-daughters, wahla!!! 21st Century Pimps Up Hos Down in the Kardashian Household. The John’s? American Consumers! Sad State Of Our Civilization. I stopped watching the dumb-tube 4 years ago! Thank GOD
So, clearly, even crazy people are mad about this…
haha
Um…Bob Wright hasn’t been “at the helm” of NBC for years. Crawl back into your hole, conspiracy guy.
The terrorists have won
Jim Bell should be fired, the Ann Curry fiasco, the rating slip to GMA and now this… Knowing NBC though, he’ll be promoted and running the entire network in no time… Come on Comcast, take care of your house
#NBCfail
…Again
I have always been a die hard Today Show fan, but MAN they’re making it rough. First the idiot that is Sarah Palin, then the sloppy exodus of Ann Curry (I’m not even a fan, and that was bad), now this? Guess it’s back to ABC for a while… even without Robin Roberts, it’s a better morning show…. So sad. How the mighty have fallen.
Sarah Palin is not even remotely part of NBC or the Today Show’s problems. If anything, she was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal display of ineptitude and gross bias …and she’s laughing her way all the way to the bank. She played the left to the hilt and came out a millionaire.
Way to keep it classy, NBC. You seem to be going out of your way to create reasons for people not to like you… Well done!
NBC aka NOTHING BUT CRAP! Shame on NBC and the Today show for not even making an effort to take a moment and pause for this most important date in history, so that they can broadcast a reality TV show interview….. seriously!! PATHETIC
People are tired of 9/11 it’s old news. The Kardashians are new news and our audience wanted to see the queen bitch monster herself Kris in all her disgusting obnoxious artificial glory. We aim to please at NBC.
Regardless of whether or not people are tired of 9/11 stuff as you say it was totally inappropriate of NBC to show Kris Kardashian talking about her boobs. The only reason that MORON BOOB was on the air was because she convinced Ryan Seacrest and the NBC affiliates that people would be interested in her most recent surgery. The truth is that the MORON Kris Jenner’s family would not give her the attention she wanted after having her boob job so she went to Seacrest another MORON and he had NBC feature her. Sadly no one is interested in this whacked out narcissitic MORON! NBC you get a big fat F from me and a whole lot of other people!
It would have been great for Today to observe the moment of silence as other stations did, but i am WAY more tired of people hating on the Kardashians than I am of the actual Kardashians. At least the family entertains. You guys just regurgitate insults about a family whose show you dont watch.
No one hates on the Kardashians the reason we do not like them is because they are phony, greedy, nasty, foul mouthed, self serving, stingy, selfish, narcissitic idiots. Have incestuous garble amongst each other and they act like they are the next best thing to sliced bread! They aren’t!!! They speak like 3rd graders, act like hookers and their mother is so embarrassing! They without a doubt are the most nauseating mess of a family that one has ever witnessed!
Producers and anyone else making that decision should be fired. Chris Jenner, really. NBC, No Brain Cells
Okay. It is time for those Producers to hit the road. This is beyond poor management and bad decision making. Where are the resignation letters? Is anyone even in charge of there? Absolutely DISGUSTING.
I understand corporate synergy but this is just embarassing. What has happened to TODAY?
Don’t you people realize that Kris Jenner was talking about very important things? Much more important than a moment of silence.
Among the poignant topics Jenner discussed: the decision to film her breast implant replacement surgery and air a family therapy session on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” The interview was to plug the season finale of the family’s reality series.
After the Jenner interview, “Today” went straight into an interview with actor Richard Gere.
I love it!
NBC’s actions and tuoil are much more interesting than ANY of their current programming!
This is why Today is now #2. GMA just scored another victory!
Sloppy and careless. Revolting, insensitive and ignorent. More BAD PR for NBC. The production staff needs to GO.
Ryan Seacrest and the Kardashians need to be following right behind them!!!
Stop the hating. Didn’t you see how choked up MZ Jenner was about 9/11, that she cried a tear.
Well, you could have seen it but her face is pulled so tight it wouldn’t come out.
