Tom Brokaw Helps John McCain - "In Fairness"

On Sunday, September 28, Tom Brokaw listened to an entire debate between top McCain and Obama strategists. Then, unnecessarily, at the end of the debate he said that "in fairness" to both sides...and cite a singular poll number saying McCain was better to be Commander in Chief? What?? What about who Americans trust more? Or who is better on the economy? Or who people agree with on Iraq?

Brokaw is in the tank for McCain! Time for Brokaw to retire. He's a tired old man!

He should probably not be a moderator at the next debate. In all fairness.

the questions you brought up were stupid, who gives a shit?

I hate the shit you wrote at the end of the video. Everyone doesn't think change is best, everyone doesn't think bringing the troops home from Iraq is best.

This was covered in various online newspapers, Brokaw was actually quoting a very OLD poll from months ago. It was incredibly deceptive to throw it out like it was a recent poll and he was criticized for it by many other journalists. He's a long time friend of McCain and has shown an obvious BIAS during the campaign. Hence his performance in the debate, allowing McCain to talk-talk-talk, but telling Obama 6 or 7 times to watch the clock, even though his answers were shorter than McCain's.

"In fairness to everyone here..." & then proceeds to

give out false, old poll numbers that he had to know

were false. Way'll, everybody makes mistakes except

DID YOU HEAR HIS VOICE QUIVER as he was reading

them. It was like someone had a gun to his head.

It's like...eh, Stevie, just call me liaison TOM.

The 2nd debate? Guess what, I'm your moderator.

It's funny, Gore & Kerry both won their 1st debates

& Bush won the 2nd & 3rd BOTH TIMES.

Was that guy brilliant or what?

Brokaw is a freakin' tool for the repubs, and he belongs in Russia cooking the media books for Putin. I never thought much of him, and now I know that he is mediocre-- just another good looking airhead for the boob tube.

killed 3000 American citizens? what about the other nationalities that died?

[nirbija]

Borkaw is the kind of shameless propagandist of the mainstream media BUSINESS that is responsible for the lost of tens of thousands of American lives, limbs and mental health in Iraq.

These media morons mislead unwitting Americans in favor to policies that give rise to the self-destruction of US and the increase American threat to world peace.

That other old fart at CBS is likewise a culpable propangadist.

Brokaw trained to be a hack, was a hack, and is a hack. This is what the cold war produced in his heyday.
