'Today' Reporter Michelle Kosinski caught staging flood

[52barney]

Pussy Matt would be afraid of the germs.

[hogbackmtn]

I love how she's like "hay guize..."

[cag9228]

it's good to see a woman who can paddle her own canoe

[TheIntrinsic]

Hell, as a man who's six one, I'd be scared to death walking in four inches of water.

[swans1997]

Say that again about, "staged news reports" eh, Katie? Stupid liberal shill.

[cometrally]

This was actually painful to watch, haha.

[loveatejeca]

Hahahahaha!!!! Epic fail!!!

[TheCoolMovement]

Holy shit i just found out she lives down the street from me!

[Nekologic]

"Why walk when you can ride guys?" LOL. "Is your oar hitting ground?" "Ofcourse not! It's as smooth as silk.." LOLLL. i love her.

[rock3044]

i bet she smacked the shit out of matt the next time she saw him

[bramantim1]

She wasn't STAGING the flood she just wasn't in the dangerous areas. If she was staging anything it was her canoing.

[rgz1985]

@bramantim1 Duhh, that's the point

[kramer87]

lmao!!!!!!!!!!!



[4LeafCoyote]

You know the camera man did that on purpose.

[charlieJH401]

0:25 NBShit-C 

[VastedCouth]

The best part is when the anchors play back the video and catch luls over it.

[SlinkyPie]

lmfao @ are these holy men i love coworkers lmfao.

[ReidEstreicher]

How I love the media. Wait, I meant loathe...

[Nekologic]

"Of course not... it's as smooth as silk.."

LOL

[yuyudude1112]

At least Matt and Katie call her out on it

[DRINKMOREWHISKEY1]

JAJAJA poor woman :x How embarrassing, although this cracks me up!

[kiiifute1]

Think these two phonies will draw attention to the staged coup that is taking place in this nation's capital. Article II Sec1 Cl5

natural born citizenship enjoins a sole allegiance, at birth

[ParmaChick]

It's really tough to control a canoe when it is hitting bottom ... and scary, too.

[swans1997]

"this, is REALLY moving" HA HA

[putdownan8dude]

what a sad, ridiculous tv program this has become. we miss ya jane and tom!

[vmtz2001]

She did say that it was a lot deeper elsewhere. Also, you might want to take a canoe regardless of how shallow it is, anyway. It's a lot easier and besides a few feet away it might get much deeper.

[shesaiddont44]

@vmtz2001 dont be fooled by the media. She did that for a reason no news caster takes a canoe out like that to do the news. She obviously tried sending a false message and fool us americans watching it..... and then you need to think, wow what ELSE do they do to trick us even if its minor like that...

[cerealpipe]

you are wrong, those men were just imitating jesus, the water is over 20 feet deep

[davepetr]

Haha, I remember that time, it was funny how often that happened.on the local news.

[FuzzyJohn]

Funny that the news story prior to this one was about the White House staging the soldiers' answers. You're no better NBC.

[Blaine513]

Isn't NBC the network that placed explosives in GM trucks to prove that they exploded when involved in crashes?

[stratman123]

I would assume that the stunt was probably the work of one of the show's producers, and not necessarily the unfortunate reporter. Sometimes bosses can insist that you do stupid and/or dishonest things-against your better judgment.

[HeetXS]

1.5 feet? LOL you can see from the guys walking it was MAYBE ankle deep.

What a joke NBC is. I used to watch it until I realized how liberal it was becoming.

NO MAS

[cram52000]

I think somebody should go look up what liberal means.

[ViolentRiC]

Hey, at least there's Fox!

[pikeymutt]

And Fox News is fake and misleading? ALL OF IT IS!

[sinner24]

yes it was staged u retards...the other reporters were even making fun of her at the end of the vid and if u think about it she could of easily worn some flood boots like the guys that passed by were....duuhhh!

[WinchesterRanger]

Liars.

[maydayfire]

typical anglo-sexer propaganda!

[frostedhead]

Did he say NBShit?

[RobDeMadrid]

Why walk, when you can ride? Well said :D

[bizichyld]

Am I missing something? I'd rather be in a fucking canoe than walk around in a cesspool. Hardly a staging...

[UtilityBiscuit]

cesspool?

Definition^^^:"a cistern, well, or pit for retaining the sediment of a drain or for receiving the sewage from a house."

Secondly, its less than 1.5 feet deep... being in a canoe is just completely unnecessary, it was staged

[bizichyld]

And all those other people in the boats later in the story--I suppose they were all part of this elaborate hoax?

Seriously, you see the shoes women are wearing these days? She probably just didn't want to get her feet wet.

[UtilityBiscuit]

Well, I bet the people later in the story were actually in deep water...and I am sure that the news crew had extra boots in the van.

news companies just love to make things seem worse than they are just to make it seem like the stuff they are saying is interesting

[pgturnquest]

I actually met this ass before and trust me, she is that stupid to stage a flood story. She was eating up that Anna Nicole crap because that's what she is anyway - trailer park trash

[athelms]

"The current is really swift!" Riiiight.

[kuskut]

It's amazing that we are focused on Michelle in the canoe and not the "rehearsed answers" from the soldiers. People truly deserve the country and leaders they get.

[HerculesRockefellerr]

O come on that idiot reported pretending to be in flood was priceless

[orgasmtron]

This isnt fucking staged, you fucking idiots, shes said she was in shallow water because they would not allow her in the deeper sections. You people say its over dramatized, it can be to a point, but I also remember ppl,

saying that Katrina was dramatized then after

it was all done the idiots who stayed was looking for someone to blame

[nemofebes]

Liberal Media

[edibledawg]

Opie and Anthony just talked about this on Sirius XM satellite Radio! Geraldo's a douche!

[slamman788]

Hey man ya I heard them talking about the same thing and I remembered seeing this clip a while ago but forgot about it till O&A said something and I had to see it again to see just how absurd the media can be...you hear the P Diddy rants too on the show too? What a fucking moron

[shuttlemasterbkg]

I was watching the live report that morning and fell out laughing! I knew it would be an instant YouTube moment.

[mojoidol]

The Bitch should have been fired. Lying to the people is instant death for a journalist. At least it used to be.

[WhacksPacks]

that's all they do now....there'd be no "journalists" left...truth is merely an incidental bi-product of agenda that rarely occurs

[mojoidol]

Well said.

[kellyhicks2004]

omg... they pulled the whole canoe in a flood thing again this year in the mid-west with all the Mississippi River trouble. The floods are bad enough... they don't need to dramatize them.

[247Aztec]

liberals? what the fuck you talking about? liberal means liberty??

and what does liberty have to do with decieving people?

you have watched far too many bill o'reillys shows!

you must love fox huh?

[jdo6969]

you forgot about what kanye west said pres. bush also hates white people

[CitySon]

Hmm, just like President Bush & that aide trying to make that soldier video conference look better than what it was, right? [insert side eye] I was watching this report the morning it aired & it gets funnier everytime I see it! This clip always comes to mind whevnever I see Michelle Kosinski on NBC. LOL. Thanks for posting!

[247Aztec]

liberals? what the fuck you talking about? liberal means liberty??

and what does liberty have to do with decieving people?

you have watched far too many bill o'reillys shows!

you must love fox huh?

[xxxSLOSHxxx]

fuckin minger... lol

[richinlodi]

Katie even closes out with "Best laid plans of mice and men." I have no idea how she'll live that one down, although it's not as bad as opening an empty Al Capone vault.

[BeauJames59]

Love it! Assuming this is not edited, that they go directly from fingering the White House to be seen faking their own story.........

[SigurdSnakeEyes]

MSM is the Pentagon propaganda arm.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Where's her lifejacket? If that canoe tips over she'd be sunk!

[tjs1264]

It just goes to show you how the media manipulates stories. Sad.

[ihouvanje]

This was a flood. There were victims.

I feel this is another example how how corporate media disrespects people.I question how one can find humour in this situation.Consumers-viewers ,the people who pay their multi-million dollar pay cheques can search other sources. News repeaters act like spoiled celebrities.Journalists should use their platform more wisely.

[seanrobins]

Don't you be silly. Michelle Kosinski is trying to make more out of what she's showing than it really is. Don't phony up even legitimate problems. This reporter is a disgrace, and anyone who falls for it is pathetic. Even Matt lauer had to make fun of her stupidity. Then the other host asks her "Is you oar hitting ground, Michelle?"

What a joke...

[joeyissoweird]

everytime theres some little situation, theres always one idiot crying..

example: a principal who took off his socks in a classroom.. a mother would cry "ThATS INNAPROPRIATE OH GOD NO WAHHH"

[ryaninprogress]

hahah. wow.

[PTTurboe]

Geezzz....

[guntoter2]

LOL "swift current" "flooding". Its 2 inches deep and dead calm!
