In an interview with Arizona Senator John McCain for Thursday’s NBC Today, Senior Correspondent Tom Brokaw invited the Republican lawmaker to attack President Trump and painted the liberal media as the victim: “In the course of your political career, especially as a presidential candidate – as I learned first hand – you had some mixed relations with the press. The President has no use for the press, he has turned the country against us, in many ways.”
McCain was quick to agree with Brokaw’s whining: “Yeah, I think the role of the press is more important than ever before. I hate the press, okay? But the fact is, without a free press in this country, a pillar of democracy is destroyed.”

People saw the meanness, hypocrisy, and arrogance for themselves; they didn't need Trump to turn them.

Brokejaw still does a one-minute cutaway program on the radio, where he whines and bloviates about current events. Inexplicably, my local conservative talker carries it, maybe for comic effect.
Jeez, I was just thinking this morning that McCain has been pretty quiet lately, and was hoping the reason was because he was incapacitated.
No Tom, President Trump didn’t turn the country away from the lying, liberal lamestream media. The lying liberal lamestream media did that all by themselves.
Donald Trump got around in front of a parade that was already formed up. People had reached the boiling point in regards to the Big Media several years earlier, when it became clear that most of the reporting on Barack Hussein Obama was very carefully filtered, and virtually nothing negative got into public distribution. But behind the scenes, much of the corruption was already well known among the big dogs in the media offices, and a good many of the front people at lower levels.
Yeah, We just want an HONEST free press!
No, Tom, I despised you before I’d ever heard the name Trump...
For now. . . . .
More like we finally saw behind the media curtain and were disgusted by what we saw.
McCain... the press is not a “pillar off Democracy” when the only thing it supports is lunacy.
And here I was, I thought the media were Domestic Enemies back in the Seventies when I didn’t even know who Donald Trump was.
The phrase should be a "free and honest" press. Today's press is sorely lacking in the "honest" department. There's a lot of "ends justifies means" thinking going on. Persuasion is masked as information.
Brokaw’s disdain for conservatives and conservative values is bigotry in the extreme. I saw that long before Trump decided to run for president.
I saw that arrogance and contempt in Hillary Clinton when they first appeared on the political scene.
I saw that in the union leaders when I was a teen in the sixties.
Sorry Tom, I didn’t need Donald Trump to tell me what the Democrat party as become.
I love that GIF...is that from one of the “Gods Must Be Crazy” movies?
Amazing...are they really this stupid or are they really this Sociopathic?
We’ve hated you a-holes for a LOOOOONG time.
Remember everyone booing NBC at the Romney convention? Yup, that was definitely Trump's fault
