Brokaw and Rose Admit They Don't Know Much About Obama.

[computerpurple]

Date of this post comment - Jan 21, 2012 12:10a.m. And today i'm sure these 2 ASSHOLES will once again vote for Barack-Barry Hussien Soetoro-Obama.

[frogsoda]

2:09 In order to "look at terrorism" They would first have to admit it exists.

Two clowns in custom tailored suits.

[pegster6]

Over 3 years later I still love this. "We don't know, we don't know, we don't know - and we're smug elite experts who must be believed!" JC on toast. Idiots on parade.

[Glinkaism1]

Brokaw loves Brokaw.

[msheidi1]

52% percent of the country did not know barack obama's middle name, HUSSEIN!

52% percent of the country is in fact IGNORANT!

52% percent of the country are destroying the United States of America

[7927jackpark]

Ignorance regarding Obama should have inspired the media to investigate him. If Obama had been a Republican, he would have been dissected. But we knew far more about Sarah Palin than we ever knew about BO. If the media do not change their ways, 2012 will be even worse....for the voter...and the country.

[laloali2]

Obama won because he was black? oh, i thought it was because the republicans have been in shambles for the past 269485761048376150987436308147­6150847650183476018436 years and cannot be trusted to run our country again and everybody knows it, even the republican candidates. seriously, they know. you guys sit here and think McCain was the right way, but he knew himself that he wasnt out for the benefit for our country, he just wants the crown because it looks pretty. all of you are foolish sheep.

[papempo]

Obama was elected because the Republicans have religious zelats and idiots catering for the rich!!!!!

[generationll]

Rush has played several clips of this interview on the radio

[mjth37]

Embarassing.

[SneakyGuy77]

At 1:46 Brokaw said "We didn't do our job." You HACK. You disgust me. Your sure didn't. You're a disgrace and so is the rest of the MSM.

[WhereSheStops]

Still shaking my head over this 2 years later.

[BarryOcan]

Liberal media-fair and balanced!

[RHMETAL]

LOL! "No. I don't know anything about Barack Obama, so let's talk about him for the whole hour and discuss what we know, even though we know nothing about him." Tom and Charlie - Killin Time A Little At A Time.

[RHMETAL]

Apparently nobody knew about Obama or we wouldn't be in the rut that we're in because of these marxists we have.

[fewovercomers]

Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose are Just Two People Out of Billions Who PROVE THAT GOD IS RIGHT, The WORLDLY WISDOM Of Mankind IS STUPIDITY IN GOD'S JUDGMENT!/ 1 CORINTHIANS 3:19-20 FOR The WISDOM Of THIS WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD! FOR IT IS WRITTEN, HE (GOD) TAKETH (ENSNARES and ENTRAPS) The WISE (WORLDLY WISE) IN Their OWN CRAFTINESS (SOPHISTRY, ADROITNESS)! And AGAIN, The LORD KNOWETH The THOUGHTS Of The WISE, THAT They ARE VAIN (WORTHLESS TO GOD)!/ I Agree With ALMIGHTY GOD!

[davidnmcdevitt]

Meh. It's not like either of them sway public opinion. You guys are acting like Olberman did an about face right b4 polls closed.

Charlie Rose def orally felated Obama for the 6mo before the election, but that's bc he's old and couldn't control his enthusiasm for what seemed to be the oppo-Bush.

They're talking candidly about media coverage of politics in a way no other TV journalists would. Pundits criticize the media, but they don't dare assess how terrible the public dialogue truly is.

[VinceP1974]

Whenever I want to laugh, I watch this

[puncrocks]

everyone who posts in this thread is really smart. especially the people who know a lot of things.

[odysseylvr]

He probably just doesnt care...

[talon115]

Tom Brokaw is the poster child for hypocrisy...he made a special back in the 90's about the tragedy of "white flight" in chicago and then he himself buys a ranch in montana! Why not harlem Tom?

[johnlorican]

52% of the country didn't CARE what policies Barack Obama supported.

52% of the country didn't CARE about learning about his past.

52% of the country didn't CARE what his worldview was - if he even HAS a worldview.

This exchange between these 'journalists' is a carte-blanche example of the absurdity of the media's role in getting President Obama elected. They didn't do their investigative work - because he was black. The country voted for him - because he is black.

Pathetic.

[Elififa]

@johnlorican. No! Obama won because of the poor choice McCain made for VP. Get it right. 

[frogsoda]

@Elififa No you have it completely wrong. McCain was the media's choice, not the average voter's. There were petitions and all kinds of anti McCain stuff going around. It wasn't til he picked Sarah as VP that he got any support. McCain Lost the election for Sarah. Not the other way round. Most conservatives wouldn't have gotten out of bed to vote for McCain. So you just keep listening to the buffoons in this video and patting yourself on the back for electing the Noble Black Guy.

[AnsonFiddler]

Dorothy, I don't think we are in Kansas any more.

[PatricksTime]

i know more about obama them both of them put together...journalism is DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!

[juelz6187]

By stating that they knew nothing about Obama's universal thinking just days before the election shows what a horrible, biased job the media did in covering this election. A year ago, less than half the country knew the name Obama. Then the media gave him a couple of "hopeful" slogans, and less than a year later, he was elected to be president, despite the fact that we still knew nothing about him. He's now treated like a savior for the world. Obama is almost as dangerous as the media.

[averitas]

You will not believe what Brokaw just said on TV, he said now is not the time to be questioning Obama. Well, since they never have...

Do they know this is what happened with Fidel? By the time they figured out they worked for him, it was too late. They couldn't criticize him or else.

So much for voice of the people, goodbye media.

People need to ask themselves why they're pushing him like this and look at where his money's from and what he did in Chicago.

Bush was nothing, prepare

[SantaBarbaraDianne]

I like the brutal honesty here--and is it just me or does it appear that Brokaw is a bit drunK? It would definitely explain his uninhibited spiel.

[writerreader7777]

Humm, lets see, the media is LAZY, INCOMPETANT & CAN'T BE TRUSTED! Is it any wonder they Flew & FLOCKED TOGETHER with the dirty bird Obama? This video was a sad revelation when it was posted, but now it's heartbreaking. So many of the media have come forward to BRAG/CONFESS? or admit how dirty they played to get Obama in. The lousy DNC did the rest. I dont trust media anymore than I do BO. They see the mess now, they are trying to cover their asses..latest is Campbell Brown, but 2 little 2 late!

[krazimuffin]

Both McCain and Obama are ass clowns. It would be nice if for once the mainstream media actually gave airtime to other candidates and people stopped believing everything the are told to believe.

[mol3898]

right on-great post dude

[spatoola]

shit editing

[waitingforwendel]

this is like admitting you knew that your team was on steroids AFTER winning the World Series!

[bonaza]

There is little "intellectual vigor" left in this country whether journalists are doing their jobs well or not.

This is why the issue of reforming public education needs to be addressed more. Our country's survival depends on it.

[VinceP1974]

Put a fork in us. We're done.

[bonaza]

In some ways, I agree. Maybe science and technology will save our asses though.

[Zinnias11]

These two stooges, didn't know their jobs? Journalism? Responsibility to probe, litmus test and find out what the "universe of his thinking" was?

Journalism IS DEAD. SAD, unbelievable dis-service to America.

[salinagrrrl69]

Oh YOU HAVE THAT RIGHT....unfortunally...for all of us.

[lwg192]

btw, in case some didn't get it I was using sarcasm there. Voted for McCain and was proud to do it!

[wcarr357]

To think that these two clueless, gasbag chinwaggers represent the gatekeepers of the MSM is truly frightening.

[mbs235]

The mainstream media is a joke. Kind of a pathetic joke at that.

[STASAFEE]

they both had their chance but they didn't ask. it's one fool asking the other fool. "WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK".

[synanthony]

Both these pricks hosted debates...you would think it occurred to them to ask. Sometimes the biggest enemy is the enemy within

[TedVoron]

The Obama Administration is obviously a SEQUEL to last century's CLINTON ADMINISTRATION. They should ditch Biden & make BJ Coke Snorter Bill Jefferson Clinton VEEP (why not?)

[billyshake]

Obama won, ya sore losers. Quit your whining and get back to chewing on hay and touching your sisters.

[TedVoron]

The NEWS helped your guy win, billyshake! Be proud & enjoy it. By the way, if Obama keeps FLIP FLAPPY FLOPPY FLOOPIN & FLANGGING, he'll be a Repubican Liteweight in no time!

Guantanimmo is Under New Management Now, Baby!

[billyshake]

Well, Ted, you can hate him all you want, but if you're an American living in these times, do you really want to see him fail? Do you want everything to get even worse so you'll be proved right about Obama?

[TedVoron]

Did I type all of that, Billy? I don't see it here...You're not hallucinating, are you?

[lwg192]

Wow you showed your whit. Way to show "them thar McCain support'n hicks" what's what!

[moolaroo]

Tom Brokaw is an absolute traitor. Seriously, this loser was the narrator of the final debate....and didn't ask Obama one substantive question. How intellectually "uncurious" can this SOB get. he should be ashamed of himself for betraying his professional ethics in exchange for looking "hip" by supporting Obama. PIG....I'd like to spit in his face, but I wouldn't want to waste the saliva.

[GeraSchmidt]

Face it America, the Pro-Abort Media Hens have sold out. They are tabloid lushes that don't deserve our attention or patronization of their advertisers. Smut tabloid cons. How dare they shove BO in our faces while defaming McCain and Palin. Oh, great, now the Media Hens are questioning!!! Pathetic!  We who knew where ignored. We need a class action law suit on the Media. Please media, tell us again about Palin's wardrobe $, NOT BO's mystery billions in donations.... NEVER TRUST AGAIN!!!

[dquijano]

Barrack Obama....who the fuck is that?

[arttow]

what a bunch of bafoons.

[tmra21]

Hypocrisy at its best. We have had to endure and suffer thru the last 8 years because of your bullshit President Bush, a coke snorting,C- student, needing daddy's approval, "christian" cover wanna-be, pathetic loser of a president that you put in office without knowing anything about him or his intentions of going after Hussein for personal vendetta while using 9/11 as a cover to lie to the masses. How bout you start critizing your president who has had 8 yrs to get it right! Arrogant fucks!

[jmwwd]

TMRA21, I see that you are a brainless fuck. Because of your ignorance, you'll cry tears of blood under Obama. Wait until he starts forcing you lazy cunts to go to work for free and puts you in prison for criticizing him. It's in the works! Only brainless fucks would vote a communist for president. Get that big ass ready 'cause there are gonna be a lot of TYRONS cumming in it! I have enough money to leave the country.

[eddiekudzayi]

you are a silly and childish man

ooohhh, " i got lotsa cash to leave the country" wow!!! money. do you really have some. grow up

[TedVoron]

You mean Bill Clinton (nose like a vacuum cleaner according to Roger Clinton [said on tape]) don't you, tmra21?

Don't you believe in 9-11, tmra21? Obama believes in 9-11 (unless he's lying).

Do you have evidence Bush went after Saddam because of a "personal vendetta," or are you MERELY deducing that, tmra21?

Anyone can say anything. That doesn't mean it's true.

[ScarlettKnights]

The liberal media did a much better job of

vetting Joe the plumber than Senator Obama.

[yohannbiimu]

That said, it was the MEDIA'S job to report these concerns to the voters, rather than simply regurgitating every word that Obama was telling them. Whenever anything controversial about Obama was reported, it was always under the discussion of conservative talk radio, and THEIR bias regarding their reporting of it. It was always something like "Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh accuses Senator Barack Obama of..." rather than the obvious REASON of the concern for the report.

[timbosforporn]

Fine!

He is a closet liberal who believes in compassionate conservatism and all of that crap.

Are you happy now? Can we get back to discussing the current president elect or do you want to keep hammering away at Bush the rest of your life?

[yohannbiimu]

I'm not going to suggest that McCain was a huge obvious choice for anyone, because he was terribly flawed, and in some ways agreed with what Obama intends to do. I'd venture to say that a vast majority of McCain voters were simply terrified with all of the red lights and flags that were signaling whenever Obama talked about folks "clinging to guns and religion," his "typical White person" grandmother, how he wants to "spread the wealth," and equated property ownership to "selfishness."

[yohannbiimu]

Obama has not done anything to garner the praise that he gets from the folks who somehow believe that he's going to tear down the last vestiges of the greatest, most free country on Earth to create a Utopia by his will alone. He's done nothing to be labeled anything other than a green Senator who's only past political experience has been as a street agitator (hmmm...there's another Hitler comparison). His followers simply have heard what he said he will do, and they've swallowed the hook.

[yohannbiimu]

If these guys have no idea of who Barack Obama is, then what does that tell you of the common Obama supporter? The common Obama follower's vision of who Obama is is precisely the image that Obama and his campaign have planted into their minds. The image is 100% HYPE.

I've read comparisons between Obama and Hitler, and so far the only one that truly sticks is the notion that both were and are a creation of their propaganda machines. Their followers believe in their "greatness," because of it.

[toneo2001]

Journalism is indeed dead with about 75% of what we hear. It is not servered "raw" anymore but "cooked" to favor liberal ideology. Also it is no surprise that single women in large majorities voted for Barack. Just like these single women do so often in their own relationships, they think if they can just "capture" the man, they can somehow mold him to become their "night in shining armor" They have indeed captured him and we will see how the "molding" goes... They never learn...

[vfgzhejdtfyguhj]

Stop it!! The only reason liberals don't like Conservatives is because they want more poor black people dependant on them. And the only reason they want us to stop talking is because our freedom of speech shows the have more in common with slave-traders than the founding fathers did.

[reneburgoa]

Stop it!. The only reason why conservatives don't like Obama is becasuse he is smarter than ALL of you. And the only reason conservatives voted for Palin is because she is just as dumb, and her stupidity reflects their comformity with mediocracy.

[othbor]

Can someone explain to me,how happened this Country elected someone,who has all his schools applications court sealed,where is others names used,birth place,nationality,country of birth,religion and so far,and look like he continue getting free pass till the vault of this Nation Secrecys.He has been proof a lier,a incompetent talker,no expirience found and you inteligent people are saton your hands doing nothing.FOUR YEARS ARE ENOUGH FOR A IDIOT TO DESTROY ONE NATION,ARE YOU FORGOT"CARTER" MESS.

[repudiatedimmortal]

hahaha We gave George Bush 8 years to destroy the country. Congrats you conservative twat.

[enr521]

mikebraun54-You are an idiot and the one who has drank the kool-aid! I'll be sure to thank you when this country goes into a worse depression than in the 1920's. BO is the most dangerous man in this country and he's now been elected to the Presidency. We're all up the creek and if you think your savior is going to turn things around, think again. I suggest you start stretching and prepare to bend over and grab your ankles! We're all doomed, you included genius.

[mossberg68]

Brokow's an idiot---Rose is a moron. Both are clowns. Thank God the old media is on its way out. Good riddance!

[RottenLiberals]

LIBERAL ASSHOLES!!!!

[Neomlf]

Obama is the father of lies.

[mikebraun54]

Oh boy, did someone leave the door open and everyone from Fox News came over here? I hear that Macy's is having a sale on white sheets, dontcha think y'all should get right down there and get your new outfits? SO, we got rid of our coke-snorting, military-abusing, lightweight POTUS and elected someone who is smarter than most of you. Can't hack it can ya? I'm surprised the far right has ANY Kool-Aid left after what I've read here. Read up on your presidential histories, you'd be VERY surprised.

[tmra21]

Right on man! Tell it like it is!

[red5llaw]

Proof that the "Fourth Estate" has totally lost it's way. The Press now MAKE the news rather than present the NEWS in an Unbiased, Balanced and Fair Way. It has become "Reality Television" Something manufactured to create Ratings.

They no longer teach Ethics and Morals in Journalism but how to cheat your way to a Story, thus ratings...Pathetic.

It's as bad as the Political Establishment. A Free and unbiased Press were supposed to be one of the Checks & Balances in our System.

Now BULLSHIT!!

[shawdylocks]

and the nation's media let's out a collective homer simpson D'OH!

[metalkev00]

Hey, at least Brokaw knows more than the average Obama supporter!

[HondoRogue]

We know more about Joe the Plumber than Obama. Joe would be a better president than the currently Anointed One. I hope the next four years will be the nail in the coffin for liberalism. This video demonstrates how stupid Brokaw and Rose really are and how they were in tank for the Anointed One. Maybe they can appear on Glenn Beck's show as the idiots.

[jarvis1211]

And they wonder why their ratings are in the toilet! Get off your asses, take off your cheerleaser outfits, and act like journalists...

[easyrider4life]

I think they fixing to suck each others dick!

[VinceP1974]

From the news, I learned more about Palin's amniotic fluid than than anything about Obama. I had to find out on my own that Ayers wrote the Autobiography they gushed about in the beginning. That Obama's wife worked with Ayers' wife in the 1980s at the same lawfirm and that Ayers got Baary his job at the lawfirm which is how Barry met Michelle.

This country has no idea who this guy is.

[22rush22]

No...you don't understand.

They both DID their job.  Their unwritten job is of course to manipulate our thinking to the Left. Why in the world would they not expose this earlier?

Probably got paid alot more for this behavior.

[TuxLady]

Ok, so can someone explain to me what the f**k these guys get paid to do if it is not to discover these things? How do they sleep at night? How do they shave in the morning without slitting their own throats? A pox on both their houses. They sure as heck did not do the American people any favors. What a couple of intellectual nincompoops. Screw you two.

[greencoveredbridge]

Well, I think they've pretty much exposed what poor journalists they are. journalist repeat the same meaningless stories over and over and over and over and over and over and over. I must have heard a THOUSAND reports that Sarah palin and John McCain were calling Obama a "redistributionist". Anyone with 1/4 of a brain knew this was a meaningless story--yet, all the "journalists" reported it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

[greencoveredbridge]

if they don't know much about obama, then they aren't very good journalists.

[tfustudios]

Wooooo...sounds like there's a lot sour grapes around here...

[124otterstreet]

Are these guys the nut brothers? Mr. Browkaw had 2 years to learn about Mr. Obama. There was no shortage of information about his principles, friends and aspirations. Tom and his cronies were slothful by choice. Concern with truth instead of Sarah Palin's glasses would have been good. Call it honesty. Tom represents a spineless media main whose goal was to pamper Mr. Obama. Tom, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Go home, read a book on Marxism or plumbing. Maybe Barak or Joe will hire you.

[bluedov69]

You mean Joe the Bum . He was a Hillary supporter

[Jennofthejungle49]

So what this didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. The MSM is DEAD.

I mean the whole campaign they were saying.. oh wow there are polls saying we are being biased, so let;s talk some more about how cute Barry looked in his swim trunks in Hawaii.

[WAMinLO]

Suicide of America - Obama with journalism pulling the trigger.

[stereokid]

For those who are interested, the entire interview can be seen on the Charlie Rose website. Search Brokaw.

[TedVoron]

Change these 2 old obsolete NEWS MEN'S Diapers & get them the HELL out of here!!! Step 1 end CBS NBC & ABC news now!!

Brokaw: "WE DIDN'T DO OUR JOBS" America must FIRE THESE WORTHLESS STIFFS!!!!!

[MyMuslimFaith]

VERY RIDICULOUS TOGETHER (& WORTHLESS) TOM BROKENJAW & CHARLIE ROSE...The BIG THREE NEWS NETWORKS ARE WORTHLESS AS ILLUSTRATED HERE BY THESE 2 DIAPER WEARING BOOBS!!!!

[dkkght]

Can you believe that the leader of the main stream media is throwing Obama under the bus for his failure as a journalist to actually study a subject such as the president of the USA. Brokaw is scared of what he may helped get elected to the highest office in the free world.

[mrboast]

this is why nobody trusts or enjoys the mainstream media. they have done this to themselves

[dyamarick]

We have just stepped into darkness hoping it will be good.

[johnnyboy9989]

We have just elected an unqualified Black man to the office of POTUS. That is extreme Affirmative Action, dontcha think? You betcha!

[jlettuce07]

Say it ain't so, Joe!

[doughpro]

These two were supposed to be respectable journalists. Journalism is dead as far as I am concerned.

While your at it, check out the video of Newsweek's Meacham and Thomas referring to Obama as "a creepy cult of personality".

Where were they before the election?

[boknowz13]

Gee it seems they only had 2 years to ask these questions. I am glad that they put a microscope up Joe the plumber's ass in like 3 days.

[nykia31]

Media is trying to cover their tail's in the event this man crashes and burns.

I pray for the sake of our country, that doesnt happen, but I am not optomistic.

Our country has made the most uninformed decision in the history of modern politics.

[hgiersbe]

If anyone wants to know where these two DNC operatives were during the campaign, they were in the tank for Obama. Now the liars are in CYA mode.

[tujjortoshkandiy]

well keep wining you right wing radicals... Obama is the President!

[MyMuslimFaith]

well keep wining you right wing radicals... Obama is the President!

NO THANKS TO THESE 2 WORTHLESS NEWS SHIT BALLS

[johngalt888888]

Are you (insert long string of expletives) kidding me?!?!?!?!?!

These clowns have been laying palm branches at Obamas feet to pave his way to the throne and now they have the nerve to discuss their abject ignorance and incompetence at figuring out who the guy is?

On the other hand, tell me what these idiots have not reported about Joe the Plumber?

[PeterHaroldErikson]

Why the hell didn't they themselves or their contacts ask about BO's worldview etc.? They have had so much time yet it was up to bloggers and happenstance like Joe the Plumber to make BO's worldview clear, in addition to the unwillingness to delve into BO's past. The man has one radical association after the other, he's tied to the corrupt Chicago caste, runs speeches Axelrod used for other clients, and now, after voterfraud etc. there are only a few days left to vote they bemoan none asked???

[p8p7p21]

Joe the Plumber made BO's worldview clear? That's the Palin/McCain spin and it's wrong. The tax system taxes wealthier people at a higher rate than poorer people - which means the rich in effect are forced to share their wealth with the poor. McCain's not proposing to do away with that - so why not accuse him of being a socialist? So OB and McCain differ only on what's the correct tax rate for the rich. And OB's right: Bush's cuts for the rich didn't get the economy going, so time for change.

[p8p7p21]

These comments are so off the mark. All Rose and Brokaw say is they don't know Obama's positions on China and India, and they make am ambiguous statement they don't know his "worldview". Well, he's been very precise about his views on healthcare, tax, education, immigration, financial regulation,foreign policy regarding Afghanistan, Iran, Russia. And so what if we don't know books he read in school. At least he read books back then (McCain was 5th last out of over 800 in his military school).

[AhReally]

so, let me get this straight. The journalists that we rely on to do their jobs and ask the pertinent questions are talking with each other, saying, "uh...I don't know!" But Obama is their guy! Well, I will hold these people (and all the other Obama backers) responsible when our great Country gets driven into the ground. God help us all.

[fbenlin]

Both of them are pathetic. Brokaw needs to go back to Vaudeville. I really believe he can't function without a script. That was evidenced by his inability to close the second debate without reading what was written for him.

[cain44200]

"I say old bean, who is this O'Bama fellow we keep hearing about?"

"Hmmmm, no idea."

"Well, I heard he was running President of the United States!"

"Really? I hadn't noticed. Do go on."

"Yes. Not really sure what else there is to tell, though. Not sure what he believes in or wishes to accomplish. Can't really say what sort of people he admires or what influences him."

"Maybe some journalist or another should look into it one day."

"Yes, quite."

My God. I want to puke.

[happyhappyjoyjoy2008]

No one knows much about Obama.

Vote for McCain, let Obama spend 8 more years in the Senate to prove himself and then, maybe then , he should run for Hillary's Vice-President.
