Is Sarah Palin to Blame

NBC's Today Show is having a little bit of ratings trouble. So far co-host Ann Curry has been taking most of the blame. However, I wonder if the ratings trouble is not result of Sarah Palin.

In April of this year Sarah Palin was a guest co-host for one hour of the Today Show. Shortly after that show the Today Show lost the ratings race to Good Morning America for the first time in 16 years. Ever since that point, Good Morning America has been closing in on the Today Show and has even beaten the Today Show on a few other occasions.

Maybe they can talk her into doing a few days on good morning America.

the blame would not be with Sarah Palin, but rather with the Management who made the decision to put her on the show.
