Bennish, a Victim of Precious Democracy?

Why don't I put money down on these things?

Jay Bennish appeared on the Today show with Matt Lauer, patriot extraordinaire. Rather than talk substance, Lauer sympathetically suggested that Bennish was set up, perpetuating more un-truths about the situation, namely that Sean Allen and his father first went to talk show hosts. Not true.

Generation Why? has an excellent story as well as excerpts from the interview and from newspaper articles that show Lauer to be a, shall we say, liar?

Wizbang also has more on the Today show interview as well as a column from the Rocky Mountain News, also fully sympathetic to Bennish.

Did these people not listen to the audio? How could you be sympathetic to a man who says that the people who died in 9/11 were only made innocent by our invention?

We are talking about the Today show, however. The same show that brought us the blonde reporter "rowing for her life" in New Orleans flood waters that couldn't have been more than six inches deep.

The Today program is a show I have not seen in years...and this type of interview is one reason why.
