Tom Brokaw on Donald Trump: If I Had to Cover Him, ‘I’d Call In Sick’
MSN ^ | September 5, 2015

Former NBC newsman Tom Brokaw is apparently not a big fan of Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.

According to a Mediaite report, the legendary NBC newsman was at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to discuss his book, "A Lucky Life Interrupted," when he told the crowd that the idea of covering Trump was not exactly his cup of tea.

"If I was at ‪NBC News right now leading with‪ Donald Trump every night, I'd call in sick," said Brokaw.

They all lie and say there is no bias — and then they come out with stuff like this.

Well Brokaw you just called it in your entire career so I guess I’m happy you’ve finally come to terms with how mediocre you really were.

I know this guy. Friend of an ex. Drove a bus out here on Staten Island. The S78, I think. Or was his name Tim?

Anyway, it wasn’t important.

Brokejaw had no problem investigating McCain, but then on the eve of the 2008 election, wondered why nobody knew anything about B. Hussein Obama.

All the better Tom...so we can see your face when Trump, or someone else like him, that you disdain so much, wins in a landslide.

I loved seeing that happen when Reagan won...twice. It would be good to see a repeat in my lifetime.

naaaaaahhhh he wears that old Hopey/ Changey t-shirt

can you believe it the amount of people are in this anti-Trump clown crusade? It boggles the mind the party-line that Brokaw espouses.

never thought I’d write “party-line” are we in some time warped place in space like Russia? who knows...........

I remember when he was a Mumbling Anchor on the Local News in L.A.

I couldn’t believe he ended up getting the Network gig. He talked like he had a Mouth full of Marbles, still does.
