Mrsjumbo September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 I think this show just brings out the worst in these hosts. Tamron is fine as a newsreader, but when they are doing the Today's Take she acts like a giggly idiot. Same with Hoda.

Oh sure, that's concerning as well. However, that doesn't make the Ebola crisis any less serious; they both are. In fact, today, there's one "possible" case in the DC area where I live, and the patient came from Nigeria. So no, I'm not going to make light of it and joke about it (and I'm usually a laid-back kind of person). I usually get on the media about the media frenzy when it comes to certain stories, but in this case I think it's warranted. You think differently when it's close to home. ETA: There's also a second possible case in the DC area but they think it might be the flu. We'll see.
