“TRUMP, WHO ‘PLAYS FROM THE GUTTER’

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Being in the gutter is much preferable to being in the swamp.

Brokaw, just try to keep your damn dentures in your mouth.

Watching you try to talk/mumble on election night 2016 was quite revolting.

‘Learned a lesson’: Tom Brokaw apologizes for inaccurate reporting on Richard Jewell and 1996 Atlanta bombing
Washington Examiner ^ | December 26, 2019 | Mike Brest |
Posted on 12/27/2019, 10:35:07 AM by Eddie01

Longtime NBC anchor Tom Brokaw issued an apology to Richard Jewell, the security guard who saved lives in the aftermath of the 1996 Atlanta, Georgia, bombing and later became a prime suspect.

Jewell, whose story was recently turned into a movie by Clint Eastwood, started evacuating people from Centennial Olympic Park during the Atlanta Olympics after he spotted the bomb. Days later, media outlets began reporting that Jewell was the primary suspect in the attack. His innocence, however, was announced after months of speculation.

Brokaw, one of the journalists who reported that Jewell was a suspect, apologized on social media on Christmas.

He tweeted, “re richard jewell. 24 hours after the bombing i talked at length with a [senior FBI] official - who did not wave me off jewel as a suspect. i reported that and speculated why. but my last line was for now he’s just a person of interest. when the truth emerged i apologized.”

He added in a subsequent tweet, writing, “nbc made a substantial $ payment to the family without going through contentious [negotiation]. richard and his mother went through a painful time which i deeply regret. i hope we all learned a lesson, [including] “

At the time, Brokaw reported, “The speculation is that the FBI is close to ‘making the case,’ in their language. They probably have enough to arrest him right now, probably enough to prosecute him, but you always want to have enough to convict him as well. There are still some holes in this case,” according to a 2016 article in the Guardian.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first published the claim that Jewell was a suspect, and CNN followed minutes later, while Brokaw was not far behind.

NBC News was one of a couple of media outlets that settled lawsuits with Jewell in the aftermath of their erroneous reporting. It paid the security guard $500,000, Bob Costas, who defended Jewell’s right to due process, told the Associated Press in 1997. As part of the settlement, however, the outlet did not issue a retraction or apology for the news report.

Jewell died in 2007 from a struggle with diabetes.

Donald Trump is more Presidential than Bill or Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, JEB, Mitt, or McCain.

Barack Obama can go back to trash talking about Republicans “Suckin’ on a slurpee”.

McCain died knowing that the Hobbits had won.

I had a friend in the media business that said that these guys were arrogant, ego maniacal and basically bad news to hang around. He particularly lambasted Tom Brokaw. He said the real Tom Brokaw is just a complete a__hole. He is completely different than his persona.

>>Trump plays from the gutter frankly.”<<

...and the swamp doesn't? Good grief!

It is because of Trump that the deep state swamp dwelling Warshington cartel has been exposed for the criminals that they are.

Brokaw needs a serious history lesson. Does he know anything about Andrew Jackson? How about Teddy R and his imperialism?

But let's get real serious about Presidents. “....Historians have said that during the campaign, Harding would take Britton into his office and sit her on his lap. That was before he took her virginity in a hotel room and later brought her to the White House for regular rendezvouses. “The fact that I was so ignorant seemed to add to his cherishment of me for some reason,” Britton later recalled....”

“....Historians have long disliked Harding for reasons other than his sexcapades. He presided over an administration unprecedented in its corruption, he rolled back Progressive-era reforms and he enacted racist immigration laws. In the rankings academics conduct every few years, Harding has averaged out as the worst president in American history. “After his death,” wrote a biographer, “his reputation plummeted so quickly that only with the greatest reluctance could a Republican successor be persuaded to dedicate his tomb.”....”

Then there was LBJ who whipped out his Johnson to show just about anyone and had women from the famous Texas Brothel the Chicken Ranch release stress while he was President and married to Lady Bird. Yes that was Presidential!

Come on Tom learn a little history!
