Once-respected NBC News

I wasn't born yet.


Mid 1950s?

Tom Brokaw came in to replace him and did a pretty good job as well. But that ended after Ronald Reagan got elected and Brokaw ruined his image (with me at least) by giving a Reagan attacking interview to Mother Jones Magazine.


My first indication that Brokaw was a leftist was at the end of his news program. The final item was often an agenda driven piece espousing liberal causes.

When the protagonist of the piece fit the liberal agenda, the camera would cut to Brokaw for a goodnight approving nod and smile. If the last piece featured a conservative issue, or person, Brokaw would give a disproving "harrumph". Like clockwork. Made me so mad sometimes I wanted to throw a shoe through the screen (never did).

Once respected means it was respected only one time.

And when did this happen, during the Obama or Bush administrations?

No, during the Trump administration.

It’s all part of setting the stage.

Trust the plan!

The Huntley-Brinkley Report of the 60’s was a widespread favorite, 6:30 to 7 PM every night. Even then they were more credible than the fraudulent Uncle Walter Cronkite.

Chet Huntley was definite center right, while David Brinkley was a sort of wry liberal who didn’t trust anyone in government too much either way.. No one on the air today who compares to these two.

The IBM Selectric, the last and best of breed before word processing took over. It is still a valuable office tool if anyone is lucky enough to still have one.
