As an ex-TV news guy, I just had to get this off my chest..It was refreshing to watch Chris Matthews epic take down of the RNC chief yesterday and then good old Tom Brokaw had to ruin it all...more below the fold.....
After Matthews rant, Old Tom steps in to defend Romney's "Birther joke"..." Oh I have to disagree with Chris I think it was just Romney's awkward attempt at humor....Then he go on to play the false equivalency card by saying what a shame it is that both sides are going negative during this campaign.....Excuse me, but I don't remember Obama or the Dems making stupid sick jokes about someones birth place. Never mind the fact, that you have to be in complete denial to think that Romney was making a joke instead of a cold calculating move.
I am so tired of these corporate gate-keepers making sure that speaking truth to power always gets a rebuttal..
Retire Tom...journalism has passed you by.......
