Savannah Guthrie has a new official "Today" show co-anchor: Hoda Kotb. The announcement was met with much rejoicing -- and yet if you listened beneath the roar you could hear a portion of the Twittersphere asking, "What about Ann Curry?"
While other media figures and most of America were applauding the decision to reward the longtime NBC personality with the promotion, there is still a contingent of "Today" viewers with longer memories. They got Ann Curry's name trending immediately after Matt Lauer's firing for sexual misconduct, and that chatter erupted again after the Kotb announcement.
