Sources tell us Tom Brokaw, managing editor and anchor of NBC’s “Nightly News” from 1982 until 2004

Any organization who chooses a person with a speech impediment as their main talking-head has more problems than just being asleep.

Turners reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where the woman Jerry is dating is beautiful but in the shadow she looks hideous.

she should take a fire hose to MSNBS and turn it into a news network based upon journalism and investigative reporting. Objective and pull no punches.

Well the only place you can find anything like complete reporting of what goes on in America is the British press. So she’s spot on.

The American media, NBC included, have not been asleep. They’ve been drugged by their own propaganda, the “opiate of the masses.” NBC is as journalistically lifeless as Pravda in the 1980s. Because, for all intents and purposes, it IS Pravda from the 1980s.

Don Henley called it years ago....

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down

Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em all around

We got the bubble headed
Bleached blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you ‘bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It’s interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation
Is the head dead yet
You know the boys in the newsroom
Got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out
What’s going on
You don’t really want to know
Just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers
In everybody’s pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the Innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it’s said and done
We haven’t told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
Give us dirty laundry

If the old walruses of news were so great, why is NBC floating face down in the media pool?

My guess is that she wants even MORE leftist media activism.

It's hard to imagine someone being to the left of Brokaw but she's probably there.

Truth hurts and NBC should try telling the truth. It might help its image. Right now that image is zero.

Honest reporting left the 30 Rock building when David Brinkley switched networks.
