'Today Show' guest host Palin vs. Lauer on 'lamestream media'

Matt Lauer and Sarah Palin are trending on Twitter this morning as the former Alaska governor makes her ‘Today Show’ guest host debut. Palin is going up against Katie Couric on ‘Good Morning America’ in this week’s morning show showdown.

Palin began her appearance surrounded by piles of newspapers:

True to form, Palin got in a dig at the “lamestream media.”

Lauer attempted to frame Palin’s appearance as hypocritical:

Supporters had a different take:

Predictably, Palin detractors delighted in bashing her for her “lamestream media” comment:

But Palin anticipated this criticism earlier this week, telling Breitbart.com she was “‘going rogue’ and infiltrating some turf for a day.”

Perhaps Lauer should do a little more reading.
