Overview
Today is a daily American morning television show that airs on NBC. The program debuted on January 14, 1952. It was the first of its genre on American television and in the world, and is the fifth-longest running American television series. Originally a two-hour program on weekdays, it expanded to Sundays in 1987 and Saturdays in 1992. The weekday broadcast expanded to three hours in 2000, and to four hours in 2007. Today's dominance was virtually unchallenged by the other networks until the late 1980s, when it was overtaken by ABC's Good Morning America. Today retook the Nielsen ratings lead the week of December 11, 1995, and held onto that position for 852 consecutive weeks until the week of April 9, 2012, when it was beaten by Good Morning America yet again. In 2002, Today was ranked #17 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest Television Shows of All Time.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film primarily focuses on the personal journey and evolving relationship between two disparate individuals, emphasizing themes of individual resilience, adaptation, and cooperation against a backdrop of war and nature, rather than promoting a specific political ideology.
This classic adventure film features traditional casting with white lead actors in roles typical for its era, without any intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative presents its protagonists, who embody traditional identities, in a neutral to positive light, focusing on their adventure and resilience rather than critiquing societal norms or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film does not contain any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a heterosexual adventure-romance, leaving no basis for evaluating a portrayal of queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) features original characters created for the film. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which character genders could have been canonically established and subsequently changed.
The Today show is a news and talk program featuring real individuals (hosts, correspondents, guests), not fictional characters with established canonical races. The concept of a 'race swap' does not apply to the casting of real people in such roles.
