Tom Brokaw, former anchor of NBC Nightly News, had a busy midterm election night as he appeared on both NBC and PBSs midterm coverage programming. During Brokaws appearances on the two networks, the former Nightly News anchor repeatedly minimized the significance of the GOPs electoral victory. During his appearance on the PBS program Charlie Rose, Brokaw disgustingly claimed that talk radio hosts insist Obama's voters are people who live in excrement. That was his phrase. And they expect us to lift them out of excrement.
The former NBC anchor began his rant by complaining that Obama gets hammered 24/7 by Fox News on the right and by talk radio which is a huge voice in this country before bizarrely trashing talk radio:
I was in the Midwest the other day listening to talk radio, I dont know who the guy was, but he's saying Obama's voters are people who live in excrement. That was his phrase. And they expect us to lift them out of excrement. I'm not going to lift a hand. That was the kind of language that was going on. At some point that penetrates.

And a professional teleprompter reader should be asked for his opinion for what reason?

It shouldn’t be difficult to ascertain which radio talk show host said these words. If any did.
Rush said Brokaw was repeating something he saw on some liberal website.
But if a conservative talker said this, where is he? Let’s get specific here, Tom.

These thin-skinned progressive loonies forget, or more likely think we forget, what MSM said about W Bush for eight years.
And on into today.

What is talk radio’s audience compared to the audience that Hollywood and the Mainstream Media have?

Hey! He made a lucrative career as a talking head even with a speech impediment. His opinion still worth zero.

I was in the Midwest the other day listening to talk radio, I dont know who the guy was, Lol, sort of like some of the imaginary individuals that tell Dims like Harry Reid and others all the little personal anecdotes that support the Dim policies so exactly.

It’s height of moronishness to say what someone else thinks in an attempt to slander them.
I thought Brokaw was above that. Obviously not.
To: maggief
Brokaw can lift them out if he wants,but he won’t do it by backing Obama’s agenda.
