Like his deeply flawed coverage of the 1996 Olympic bombing, Tom Brokaw’s so-called apology this week to the late Richard Jewell leaves much to be desired.
The NBC News special correspondent this week said in the first of two nearly unintelligible tweets: “re richard jewell. 24 hours after the bombing i talked at length with a sr fbi official - who did not wave me off jewel as a suspect. i reported that and speculated why. but my last line was for now he’s just a person of interest. when the truth emerged i apologized.”
Brokaw added in the second tweet, “nbc made a substantial $ payment to the family

That apology and cash payment must be cold comfort. I bet the stress from being falsely accused and in the National spotlight, drove Richard into an early grave.

Tom Brokaw is a world class jerk whose ego knows no bounds. He didn't apologize until this week. He has always been political and never cared about the truth. How many more mistakes does he need to apologize for?

Journalists, as a group, are small and petty, both in mind and spirit. People who still listen to them are bigger dolts than most of the dimocrat party.

I find it interesting that Brokaw, whose job it was to speak, has a speech impediment. Why would a network hire a man to speak, if he can't speak properly?
The Price Is Right hired Drew Carey to host the show, and Carey has the same speech impediment as Brokaw. Carey, who has to say 'dollars' many times in each one hour episode, instead says 'dowers,' instead, just like Brokaw.
The difference between the two is that Drew Carey does a good job.

#8, I guess for the same reason that Barbara Walters, who also has a speech impediment, had been on television forever. Not sure what that reason might be other than she and Brokaw are both good little leftists.

Gee Tom you’re a little late. You’re also someone I’d never listen to or believe.

There is only one cure for the disease that infests Brokaw, but it is, sadly, so illegal as to ruin the remainder of the life of the person administering it.

Saw the Eastwood movie last weekend. Powerful. Highly recommended. Excoriates AJC and mainstream media.

I was never an msm junkie so had more limited contact with Brokenjaw. But, when I did view his newscasts, his hard left liberal politics were always quite obvious based on what he chose to report, how he chose to report it, and what he chose to ignore.
When we were kids, the msm consisted of ABC, NBC, and CBS. Television, radio, and newspapers. My folks used to worship Walter Cronkite, until they peeled the onion and discovered what he really was. These were the unfortunate seeds that became today's msm of fake news.

Am NOT a Brocaw fan------especially since shilling for and voting for Obama, despite Rev. Wright and all the rest (that strange social security card with Wisconsin numbers etc.) he sat down on camera with another Obama fan and stated all of the above were news to him and maybe he should havelooked a bit more carefully. (He recovered, ignored the "irregularities, and was again a big fan.)

The media needs to do more than just apologize for their driving decent people into the venue of being falsely accused and then not fixing the mess THEY created. They need to face punishment as well. This is so much more than free speech. This is blood libel hiding behind the shield of free sheech. When are the courts going to recognize and punish that? Like the old saying, 'where do I go to get my reputation back?' Well I can tell you it isn't the media. They will never admit that they are the ones who drive this machine.

So Tom, what did you know about Matt Lauer's sexual abuse of NBC employees, when did you learn about it, and did you do to report it to NBC leadership?

I know nothing or care about Tom Brokaw. He is second generation commiecaster. I quit watching all the network news at age 20 when I returned from the war being in my 70s now. I viewed all the fake newscasters as liars. Cronkite was the worst of them then the young imbedded reporter Dan Rather followed. What they reported about the Vietnam war was all lies and it's even clearer today with the internet to filter their lies out. I had to school my parents about what I thought about the evening news with these lying commie hypocrites. Brokaw is following in the footsteps of his predecessors a lying slug under the guise of news reporting. Richard Jewell has to be one of the saddest mistakes ever covered by the lying fake media and Brokaw a purveyor of it.

Highly recommend 'Richard Jewell', Eastwood's best in a long time. Getting bad reviews from the left- couldn't be a stronger endorsement. Great acting, great cast. Glad I was able to finally get insight into what happened.

Run as fast as you can you the movie theater to see this movie! I saw it last night. I turned to my adult son and said, "I didn't think I could hate the FBI anymore than I already did but I do".
I remember when this happened. I was a neutral observer until the FBI hauled everything out of the mother's apartment to catalogue and store. It was at that point that I realized it could happen to me.

Browkaw made mention of a substantial payment to the family,
Brokaw being a cheap whore thinks money wipes the slate clean.
No amount of money can compensate Richard and his family
for what the msm and gobertment trash did to Richard and family.
Brokaw is not someone decent people want to be around.

Please, please, PLEASE stop calling them mistakes. The left knows exactly what it's doing and why it's doing it. By the way, as a recovering reporter, we used to call him, Tom "Brokenjaw."
