The Today show moves people to the left just by their choice of news to cover and people to interview. This is the biggest sin of the Today show and all our mainstream media. They can (try to) kill you just by ignoring you. Such as with the Swift Boat Vets

For the Today show I would say liberal-leftist producers call a lot of the shots here
