I guess that shows how many here ever watch the MSM. I haven’t have it on since FOX came on the scene how many years ago? It used to be the only thing to watch at 6:30 in CA for years. I didn’t know he had any role left in any network.

Brokaw, as much as I loathe him and his raspy, halting voice, did pay homage to WWII veterans though. His book, “The Greatest Generation,” is a must-read.

Is he getting too old and tired to sexually harass the female staffers now?

I never ever thought Tom Brokaw was a nice person. I tried to convince my dad when he was living that Brokaw was a liberal hack, but I could never convince him. He was doing all that “greatest generation” stuff for cover, IMHO.

This is long before it became known he was preying on the women. Complete dirtbag.

I was done with network news when Peter Jennings went on his rant about the 1994 midterm elections - comparing the American voters to two-year-olds throwing a temper tantrum.

That was the wakeup call for me.

A broadcaster who mumbles and slurs? Pretty cushy gig to “retire” at 80!

Network anchors cling to their posts almost as tenaciously as Senators and Congressmen!
