Watching it, however, I could not help but ask myself, 'who elected Matt Lauer'? That we at home, like those veterans, would be nothing but window-dressing for the Matt Lauer Show? I am not here asking how NBC arrived at Mr. Lauer, as opposed to, say Rachel Maddow. In fact, it really undercuts their whole reason for being - or at least for paying Mr. Lauer some $30 million a year. For future political fora, it should be possible to architect a format that effectively bypasses the need for a Matt Lauer - or anyone else.
