Yesterday (3/20/24), I nixed the daily Today Show update I have received online for years now. The advertisement portion has been morphing into more ads than content. Even the show is becoming so concentrated on hawking products that it has, in my opinion, ruined the shows. I just had the 1st hour of the Today Show on this morning (3/21/24) and was watching a cooking segment with a lovely Jamaican chef. The moderator was pushing the guest chef to move along faster due to time constraints but got in her space and took over seasoning and moving chicken thighs until it looked like he would push her out of the way. I understand why things need to move along in these cooking segments, but this was visually overwhelmingly rude. If there is not enough time to comfortably complete these cooking segments then don’t do them at all.
I have been watching the Today Show for years! I am thinking 15 years but the show is making me anxious and I feel my heart racing. I’m switching over to CBS for a more relaxing, informative morning update.
