veteran, who contacted Cooper to express his disapproval.

At least that's what RadarOnline is reporting.
After the jump, the site claims Lauer doesn't know who he can trust anymore
Read MoreIf NBC's Today is going to recover from their fall from grace, they need to stop talking about the fall.
That's the advice from the LA Times Joe Flint. He writes that If NBC News wants its morning program “Today” to move beyond the problems it has had in the last year, a good first step might be to stop reliving them in the media.

Down in Dallas, KXAS Reporter Ellen Goldberg is leaving the station after 6 years.
Not that big a deal, people come and go at stations all the time. But, when they are leaving to "pursue other opportunities" it always sends up a red flag.
Goldberg said in a message to staffers “After 6 great years, I have decided to leave KXAS to pursue other opportunities,.”

Many would argue that CBS has been doing the best evening newscast for quite some time, but it's really just now starting to show up in the ratings.
Last week, the CBS Evening News 600,000 viewers compared to the same week last year.

At a press conference about a racist firefighter that is in hot water for tweeting, the mayor spoke more broadly about social networking:
"Number one, I don't understand why people don't understand that anything you write, anything you send out, is gonna be retweeted, re-Facebooked, re-this, re-that," said the 71-year-old billionaire.

Read MoreYou might no longer have to wait for News Year's Eve to watch Kathy Griffin Strip down to her underwear or simulate oral sex on Anderson Cooper.
FTVLive hears that Yesterday at CNN's NY Headquarters, Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin did a secret pilot taping of what could be a new show on the struggling network.
We hear that CNN boss Jeff Zucker was at the taping and so was a live studio audience (as opposed to a dead studio audience).

Read MoreWe know you have been absolutely dying to know the name of Chris Hayes new show on MSNBC.
Who?!
You remember the guy that's replacing Ed Schultz.
Huh?!
Ed Schultz...the guy that hosted "The Ed Show" but was then demoted by MSNBC to Weekends, even though he claims he wasn't demoted.
Anyway, MSNBC has announced that Chris Hayes show will go on the air April Fool's Day (how appropriate) with the name....

Read MoreCNN's John King slammed his own network saying basically from morning to Noon there is nothing worth watching and the same news you get from CNN, you already got on your phone.
Now, you have to remember that Jeff Zucker is planning on blowing up the mornings (again) and putting a new show in it's spot, but I'm still not sure he can be happy with King blasting CNN.
By the way, John King's show has never really been a barn burner either. Maybe it's the old "those in glass houses...." analogy that King should be paying attention to.

Read MoreEvery time I go into a casino and look at the slot machine players, I'm shocked at how old these people are.
I would say that the average age of a casino slot player is...dead.
I watched two women playing slots at The Wynn, both were on breathing machines and looked like they had been dead for 5 years and somebody forgot to tell them.
It's hard to picture our beloved Katie Couric as an 85 year old grandma.
But this picture shot of Couric Today in Las Vegas, is making us wonder if Katie has crossed over to "old lady" status.

Email 1 - Just found your website and it has quickly become my new favorite site. Can I ask what company owns you?
Scott: First off, glad you love FTVLive.com and second, sure you can ask. FTVLive is owned by no company and is completely independent. Although Roger Ailes does send us some hush money each month not to report that he's a foundering member of the Jon Stewart fan club.
Who's the cutest TV News Couple? Why hasn't the News Director contacted me back? And what sites does FTVLive surf? These question after the Jump in ScottLand
Poor NBC and the Today Show, it seems now a days they can't win for losing.
At the end of last week, NBC was teasing that they would have the first interview with the Pervert from Penn State, Jerry Sandusky on Monday.
Well it turned out it wasn't exactly what NBC and the Today Show had teased.
And then after the whole thing hit air, you might guess that NBC wishes it never did.
NBC never talked to Sandusky, it was documentary filmmaker John Ziegler that did.
And it was Ziegler that appeared with Matt Lauer on Today.
By most accounts the interview was a disaster and was just another black eye for Today.
Ziegler himself said that it didn't come off very well and he puts all the blame on NBC.
What he has to say about the Today Interview after the Jump
