On Friday’s east coast edition of NBC’s Today Show, a bit of staged journalism became evident…

While appearing to be paddling along in a canoe and making a report on flooding in Wayne, NJ, two men walked between the camera & the reporter in the canoe — making apparent that the water surrounding the canoe was only ankle-deep.  Click here for the video.  Even more laughable was that the lead-in to flooding story was  accusations of the White House staging a presidential conversation with solidiers.
