My wife is a teacher in Plano, my sister in law a teacher in Frisco. Ironically while home on leave from Iraq in late 2003 I told my relatives about the sensationalizing, often erroneous reporting, which near always had a bias that served their agenda. Today my relatives see the same MSM lies even in Frisco Dallas. Will the media correct themselves?
Creating false and inaccurate perceptions that are there to create the 'conflict' which sells the story (All successful stories have conflict) is in reality nothing less than 'lying'.

Part of the problem is that far to many people even consider the Today Show to be news.
I have determined long ago that if it comes from Matt Liar to take it with a grain of salt.

In the story, what is it that really happened? Was the teacher reassigned? If so, why?
It seems bizarre that someone would get on national TV for claiming to have been fired when nothing happened. But the article gives the impression that that is the case.

when precisely in the history of American professional journalism was objective truth-seeking discarded in favor of personal gain?
if news editors and reporters feel they have to invent news to keep their jobs who will pry off the coverups? perhaps that will become the dominion of the Pajamahadeen... Hail Bill Gates... and PAID reporters will end up at Weird World News and guest appearances on Jerry Springer show... [Q. how can you tell when a reporter is lying? A. if he sharpens his pencil]

My ISP's login page has gossip about Lauer splitting with his preggo wife.
To: Red6
The District is disappointed and concerned ..., more importantly, that the major media networks in America continue to ignore the facts that they have gathered.The District, with all respect, needs to get a clue. The media aren't going to let the facts get between them and a good story -- especially if it attacks the values upon which our freedoms depend.

The Today Show mislead and Matt Lauer lie? I'm shocked!!
To: Red6
Reckless disregard for the truth is rampant in the MSM: I see a lawsuit being filed immediately asking for millions in punitive damages.

Unlike the facts I quoted in the original article, this is pure opinion that follows.
Why would the main stream media play this up?
Think about it; religious zealot freaks that oppress freedom of speech etc. This fits into their world and how they want to see it.
Is the victim a teacher who is lying and now even claiming to have made more than she ever did? I guess she wants a pay raise out of the deal as well? Or is it a school system that is falsely reported on by a media looking for a 'shock and awe' story and willing to leave out not so minor details that completely change everything?
In the end, the victim becomes the culprit, and the culprit the victim, just leave it to the media.
