He has my total contempt for being a lying, hypocritical pile of garbage, just like almost all of the MSM.

Listening to his interview with Laura Ingraham and his fear of Rush Limbaugh, Tom Brokaw clearly has issues with the new media world:This morning on Laura Ingraham’s radio show, she talked to former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw. Brokaw’s got……

The really simple answer: celebs like Tom are so used to having their ass kissed, that anyone who doesn’t is assumed to be weird a marginalized nutjob. In their world, non-ass-kissing is aberrant behavior!

he is a knee jerk, intellectually challenged empty shirt

How does an empty shirt jerk its knee? :)

Rush has made you a jealous little troll. So much so that even any of your few good points are buried by you
delivery. Go away Tommy Boy, Go away ! !

BTW, one of my favorite Brokaw moments was his criticism of Eason Jordan for admitting that CNN withheld vital information from the public and kowtowed to Saddam Hussein’s regime to maintain access. Brokaw is all about wide-ranging debate.

If anybody in the media is “one voice and intolerant of dialogue”, it’s NBC, CBS and ABC. How many times do you see the takes calls from people around the country to get their opinions about current events?

I knew Ed would be able to come up with that one!

I used to listen to Rush commercial-free on WMAL.

The age of the blow dried anchorman is over!

Just because one has read a teleprompter and has written a book doesn’t make one an expert.

A friend of mine once told me that the way to move up the TV Anchor chain is to have “The Look”. You don’t necessarily need to be good at your job, but as TV is a visual media, you need to look good. I think Rush has addressed this several times, stating that your hair part cannot be less than 6″.

I’m objective to my point of view…., don’t question meh, don’t mock meh

Could someone clear up my memory:
Was it Tom Brokaw or Peter Jennings who refered to the ‘94 Gingrich Revolution as a “temper tantrum” by “angry white men.” Of course he did this on air, on election night as the returns were coming in.
Civil discourse. Right.

That was Jennings. Back in 1983 though, Brokaw had this to say about Reaganomics, even as they were turning the nation’s economy around after the debacle of the late 1970s under Carter.

It was nice to hear him walk into the lion’s den on Laura’s program and display his empty-headed buffoonery to the public.

Way to state your case Tom, “…. shows like Limbaugh’s fail to give an opposing point of view”.

Two words.

MSNBC. Olbermann.

I used to use WLS in Chicago when I listened to Rush.

Had there been a fair approach to the news in the 80’s, Limbaugh would never have exploded on the scene like he did. And he’s maintained his popularity because the MSM actually refuses to believe he’s a product of their arrogance.
