Watching Matt Lauer's relentless attack of Christie Brinkley's character as a mother this morning on the “Today” show was a painful reminder that true journalism in America has gone by the way side and been replaced by men who falsely make claims to be journalists.
In an effort to research Mr. Lauers journalistic accolades I instead found a dossier filled with photographs of him romping around with his abs exposed rather than finding any empirically researched stories of depth, accuracy and integrity.

Christie Brinkley was surreptitiously invited to “The Today Show” under the guise of discussing her role in “Chicago” which is currently playing on Broadway. Brinkley has been reluctant to hold any press junkets to promote her role in the show due to the unrelenting smear campaign her former husband, Peter Cook, has been lobbing against her for months now, calling her an “ego-centric narcissist”. Yes, ego-centric narcissist is a redundant term, perhaps someone should send Peter Cook a memo. To that regard “projecting” is a hallmark of a Sociopathic Narcissist. Malignant Narcissists will both overtly and covertly smear the one who dared leave them. The ego of a narcissist is so grand that they can not bear to be abandoned, therefore, they go on the offensive with a preemptive strike in an attempt to bring down their former lover. They project their view of self onto those they loath, ergo, referring to Ms. Brinkley as the Narcissist, when if fact, it is he who has a formal, court ordered diagnosis by a Forensic Psychiatrist, of Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Matt Lauer seems to have either forgotten the role of a journalist includes researching his subject, by searching beneath all the layers and interviewing professionals that may aid him with his presentation and interview of his subject or he never learned the core tenets of quality journalism. Instead, he launched into an assault against Ms. Brinkley's judgment as a mother. He asked her five times “What about the impact on the children?” As Ms. Brinkley tried to explain, Lauer interrupted her a total of eight times, never allowing her to finish a sentence or explain the symptoms of Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder. If he had allowed her to finish her statements and explain the symptomology of MNPD, Mr. Lauer's question about the children would have been answered. Mr. Cook's MNPD is the impediment to bringing this long standing battle to fruition not Ms. Brinkley's character as a human being and a mother.
By luring Ms. Brinkley on the show to discuss her role in “Chicago” while he had an entirely other agenda in hand, Matt Lauer violated and egregiously so, a trust between himself and Ms. Brinkley and himself and his audience. Today's interview between Matt Lauer and Christie Brinkley was poor journalism at best and misogynistic narcissism at its worst!

I will never watch a show with him in it again, unless he gives, what I deem, a truly sincere apology. I do not trust his journalistic abilities at all, anymore. It will take a lot to convince me to listen to anything he has to say on any subject, from here on out.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing while I watched. I thought it was a blatant attack. I was raised by a severely narcissistic mother, and knew right away what I was seeing.
ReplyDeletewell, i know that some years ago, matt lauer's wife was rail thin and ruined...and he was always exposed as a cheater..as with any psychopath, they ruin others and come out looking like the innocent victim..the more i learn about these people the more i realize there are..once you know the traits, you realize the world is inundated with them...and so many things that never made sense before, begin to come clear...
