NBC Today Show news anchor Ann Curry gave the commencement address at Wheaton College in Massachusetts and showed that she may not have spent a great deal of time researching her speech. From TPM:
When Ann Curry, news anchor of the Today Show, gave the commencement speech at Wheaton College in Massachusetts last Saturday, she listed several famous graduates -- Wes Craven and Billy Graham among them -- of the wrong Wheaton College.
Curry mistakenly listed the graduates of an evangelical school in Illinois rather than the secular, once all-women college in Massachusetts.
Former Indiana senator and current Republican US Senate nominee Dan Coats is also among the distinguished Wheaton alumni ... of Illinois. We don't know if she mentioned Mr. Coats - the posted video of the speech has had the error excised.
