So there is a negative from cutting Brokaw off? What would that be.

Thank you. Cutting off an old ignoramus like Brokaw might have been the first step on her road to redemption, if you ax me.

Brokaw is about as slimy a “journolist” as they come. However, he sucked up big time to the greatest generation, thereby earning a good bit of patriotic cover. He is really a dipwad due to his incessant liberal pontificating.

Spot on! Brokaw has a long track record as a propagandist for the Left. Back in 1995, the Republicans had majorities in both the House and Senate. His attacks were well crafted to seem reasonable and convincing to the public. Beneath the veneer was a Marxist anti-Capitalist bias so prevalent with the Lame Stream Media then as well as now.

The 1995 Republican Revolution activated Lefty broadcast networks (and other media outlets) to go on a rampage, savaging the Republican threat on their monopoly of power. Negative spin against the Republicans was the top of the news every night. NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw (along with now deceased Peter Jennings) was the head of the pack. He scoffed at the GOP’s Contract with America:

“It is long on promises, but short on sound premises.”

And this news exchange,

BROKAW: “Speaker Gingrich likes to compare his successes with those of historic changes in the past: FDR’s New Deal legislative triumphs of 1933. LBJ’s Great Society, 1965. And Ronald Reagan’s tax cuts in 1981. But it is still unclear just how much more of Gingrich’s contract will get through the Senate. And President Clinton always has use of his veto pen. After the Speaker’s address this evening, the Democrats had a chance to respond.”

House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt:

” The truth is nothing in these 100 days addresses the fundamental challenge of an America that has fallen to 7th in the world in standard of living. Never has so much been done in so little time to help so few at the expense of so many. The Speaker’s rhetoric cannot conceal the reality. Franklin Roosevelt’s 100 days were for the people. These 100 days have been for the privileged.”

Does this rhetoric sound familiar?

Brokaw let the Leftist Democrats spew their anti-Republican venom with every chance he got and let his Democratic friends have the last word.
