It is a ridiculous stretch for the newsman to refer to the "Today" show as an "NBC News Property".

The "Today" show is not a news show. It is an entertainment fluff piece where the hosts talk in sentences appealing to twelve year olds about inane and infantile subjects like embarrassing recollections from junior high or first dates or some recent singing of a famous nineteen year old pop star or their ability to stand on one foot while balancing a teddy bear on their forehead.

When the goal of a show appears to be trying to drop viewers' IQs to below 80, it does not deserve the title of a "News Property".
