NBC Defends Today Show Kardashian Koverage

by at .

At 8:46 this morning, practically all major networks turned their coverage to the moment of silence observed in New York City and Washington, D.C. on behalf of the thousands who died on September 11, 2001.

Except for NBC. It aired an interview with Kris Jenner instead.

What was the program thinking?!?

Kris Jenner on Today Set

“The Today Show dedicated a considerable amount of time to September 11th coverage this morning throughout the entire show,” a spokesperson for NBC News said in a statement to TV Line, defending the network's decision.

And there is truth to that: Today did dedicate time to a special 9/11 package.

However, considering NBC Universal also owns E!, the plugging of Keeping Up With the Kardashians over a national period of mourning doesn't exactly look good.

What do you think of The Today Show interviewing Jenner over taking part in this honoring?

    Shame shame on nbc. The kardashians are not a national treasure yet more and more they are treated as such. When will corporate america understand this. I give them one more year on reality tv and maybe we will all come to our senses and quit donating our time and money to them and then they go off the air. Khloe and lamar will ride off into the sunset happy as can be. Kourtney will marry scott cause no one else wants her. Kim will find a new celebrity to hang on to and rob will come out of the closet and be happy . Kris and bruce will divorce and their 2 daughters will live with brruce cause they cant stand mama. The end

    If they had done it with someone who had a part in 9/11, understood it and gave a damn about it all, that would be understandable. That they did it with the leader of a self-centered familial mob is abhorrent. If the K's had lost one of their own in the Towers, the Pentagon or in the plane in PA, Mama J (not K anymore) wouldn't have done this. Instead, she would have been somewhere surrounded by camera coverage crying her eyes out in "grief" getting even more attention for her mind-numbing, money-grubbing brood.

    A terrible shame. The Kardashian tribe should rot in hell. They do not deserve the time given to them. TODAY has gone to hell in a hack and it's time to get rid of Matt Lauer and his tribe... They all suck. Reason why I now watch GMA and the rest of the people should follow suit. They got rid of Anne Curry so now it's time for Lauer and his girlfriends to leave. Get with it NBC... 9/11 will always be in our hearts and memories. They deserve a little time every year. Guess NBC doesn't agree so I don't watch NBC these days. Guess it's more important to talk about fat-butt women. Yuck
