Meet The Press: Brokaw’s “Fairness” Facts Pulled Out Of Thin Air To Make McCain Look Better..

.....See, here’s the problem, Tom. I have the latest NBC/WSJ poll (.pdf) taken September 19-22. Guess what? THOSE NUMBERS AREN’T IN THERE. Pulled out of thin air, or an orifice of your choice. In fact, in the MSNBC.com political coverage of this poll, the headline read: Obama Up 2 in NBC/WSJ Poll. So where exactly are these numbers, Tom? If you go to Gallup, the lead is even stronger (50 to 42%), which is pretty close to the numbers you attributed to McCain.

So Tom Brokaw — in the interest of fairness to whom exactly, I’m unclear, since he is deliberately MISinforming the public — tries to mitigate Axelrod’s deft defense of Obama’s judgment by lying and saying that most people believe McCain is still better equipped to be Commander in Chief. You can leave a comment at the Meet The Press Comment Form on Brokaw’s campaigning on behalf of McCain.....more

make a trivial point.

Integrity? Tom's lost it all and some.

I told tommy that he was not going to be regarded as one fo the greatest generation of correspondents and that he's entered a new level of journalistic hackery.

Russert and Lauer back in the early 90s - Tweety, too, but Tweety's kids have been turning him back somewhat towards the light.

He spoke at my university (his daughter was attending) and I went to see him. Left the talk with a warm, fuzzy feeling. That was the late '80s.

Ugh -- Now I loathe him.

I am so tired of all this shit

Brokow demonstrated that he is completely incompetent to moderate a discussion by allowing a big mouth, obnoxious, rude jerk by the name of Schaffer to interrupt and go on and on without checking him and allowing Udall to respond. I suppose that it is part of his Republican agenda. I will not be tuning into MTP and informed them that I will no longer watch their propaganda smear.

who was against the surge or who was critical of the conflict in Iraq, "Do you now admit you were wrong on the surge?" I've heard him ask that question half a dozen times, and I'm still waiting for someone, anyone, to respond with, "Tom, for the record, the answer is no. And I'll explain why if you promise to ask John McCain and the Republicans who appear on your show if they now admit that, after spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a preemptive war that so far has cost over 4000 American lives and more than 100,000 Iraqi lives, that still has no discernible end, that has led to ethnic cleansing, that has strengthened Iran's role in the region, and that has destroyed American credibility around the world, they were wrong in supporting the invasion of Iraq."
