Consider this the purest example of the media’s complete detachment from the American people: NBC has named Ground Zero Mosque developer Sharif El-Gamal one of its “People of the Year.”

Pundit Press has the story:
NBC and its affiliates have been trounced in ratings over the last several years. With stations like MSNBC under their belt and liberals such as Matt Lauer and Keith Olbermann hosting programs, NBC is clearly disconnected with the average American. Another clear sign of their mismanagement: naming Sharif El-Gamal, developer of the Ground Zero Mosque, one of their “People of the Year.”
In an interview set to air on Thanksgiving Day, Matt Lauer sat down with El-Gamal and discussed the “Park 51 Project.” El-Gamal, who was apparently pleased to be named one of NBC’s people of the year, seemed very comfortable answering questions. The excerpt released so far shows that Mr. Lauer gave El-Gamal a decidedly softball interview.
No comment necessary on this one. None. Except that we hate the media.

This is NBC news we're talking about here....
Does it really surprise you?
I'm sure the hundreds of people who watch NBC will be outraged by its selection of Sharif el-Gamal as a "person of the year".
No, those hundreds of people will probably agree with the choice. It's the rest of the world that's outraged.
