Savannah Guthrie Is 'Negative' On Live Broadcast

Throughout the episode, Savannah made various comments that Today viewers felt were a little too opinionated for a supposedly neutral news station. From comments about her true feelings on Donald Trump's second presidential term to actually debating with Republican senators on the show, many fans were upset with Guthrie, who has never hid her dislike for the new president.

These fans tend to favor hosts like Craig Melvin, who joined Guthrie during the broadcast, and many fans on social media thanked him for "remaining neutral" throughout the episode.

'Today' Fans Think Savannah Guthrie 'Needs To Go'

The Today Instagram page posted the intro for the episode on Instagram, which many viewers used to share their thoughts on the special edition live broadcast. "Wow, Savannah," one person wrote. "I thought your job was to report the news, not debate your opinion with a Republican Senator. It's very obvious that you do not support Trump."

"I've truly enjoyed your commentary, today," Craig, another user wrote. "Lester and Savannah have failed in remaining neutral and simply reporting."

"Savannah needs to get off her high horse," another agreed. "She needs to chill. Negativity on TV is not becoming. She needs to go."

"Savannah continues to disappoint," a final fan added.
