Well, in defense of Brokaw, he did say that misinformation and disinformation runs “across the political spectrum,” although I’m sure he believes that the problem is far worse among conservatives, and I’m sure that he thinks the mainstream media are almost always reliable sources of information. When he said that people need to be careful and vet the information they hear, I’d totally agree, but I’d also say that I am forced to vet the information that comes from the mainstream media every bit as much as I vet Internet sources.
True, but that's if you even hear the story from the MSM. There's not only control/power to be gained by promoting agendas but also control/power in omission.
