Who cares if the Today show has ratings that are circling the drain — Matt Lauer isn't about to miss his favorite show: Good Morning America!

LOLz!

Apparently it's true! Matt obsessively watches GMA as the Today show tanks in ratings. We're sure it's purely to understand why the rival ABC morning program continues to gain viewers while Today hemorrhages them!

Here's what a close source to the show says about it:

Has America spoken?! Is Matt Lauer's time on morning Television about to expire?!

If you've ever watched broadcast news through a critical, thoughtful lens then you should know NO news network is perfect, and all have some degree of political and philosophical influence…

But one of the WORST offenders of news manipulation under a political agenda is Fox News, which is why we almost squealed in delight when Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Thomas Ricks called out the network for "operating as the wing of the Republican Party."

Watch a man who has covered the military for YEARS voice his expert opinion on how Fox chooses to report on certain events (above)!

Obviously, right after Mr. Ricks' damning statement, the interview is immediately CUT, ’cause god forbid Fox News lets someone voice an opinion that doesn't coincide with what they want to their viewers to know.

Maybe there is such a thing as bad press?

Despite being talked about around the world - Lindsay Lohan's much ballyhooed Lifetime film Liz & Dick drew only 3.5 million viewers.

That isn't even close to what Steel Magnolias pulled in back in October.

The portrayal of the infamous love affair between Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton was the fourth most watched original movie premiere - which SOUNDS impressive until one remembers the lack of made-for-tv movies these days.

The numbers averaged 1.3 million viewers in the 18-49 demographic and 1.3 million adults 25-54.

Despite being ridiculed and saddled with disappointing ratings, Lohan stayed brave and even tweeted:

.@beckysake 2 get 2 feel like 1 of the most amazing women in the world was a thrill all around & wearing the jewels wasn't bad! #LizandDick

Way to keep your head up, girl!

After the critical and public response she's received for her 'performance' so far, she might want to re-think this one!

Lindsay Lohan's interpretation of Elizabeth Taylor for the Lifetime movie Liz & Dick has resulted in some pretty harsh reviews - and Twitter comments - since it premiered last night, but according to the troubled starlet, she was MORE than prepared for the role of such a beloved icon…because of
