On this subject, here's a great quote from Jonah Goldberg re: Brokaw

Van Jones & Obama's "Centrism" (Jonah Goldberg)… The Corner ^ | 6 September 2009 | Jonah Goldberg

“……………Update: Oh and the conversation between Tom Brokaw and Tom Friedman about the lessons of Van Jones was a complete scandal. One of Friedman's key take-aways from this whole affair is that too many people will self-censor themselves so they can get government jobs. What a tragedy that fewer people will support cop-killers and anti-American conspiracy groups because of poor Van Jones chilling effect on the culture.

Oh, and listening to Friedman and Brokaw disparage the internet as a useless news medium, makes them sound like cranky old monks lamenting that flash-in-the-pan printing press.”

I love Jonah Goldberg.
