Brokaw says "Good Bye"

I have not been a huge fan of the mainstream media for a while now, but, I must say Brokaw really suprised me just before the election. Brokaw didn't toss Kerry a bunch of softball questions,

Brokaw:...if you had been president, Saddam Hussein would still be in power. Because you...

Kerry: Not necessarily at all.

Brokaw: But you have said you wouldn't go to war against him...

Kerry: That's not true. Because under the inspection process, Saddam Hussein was required to destroy those kinds of materials and weapons.

Brokaw: But he wasn't destroying them...

Brokaw wouldn't let up, and Kerry got more and more flustered. Brokaw may have helped put Bush over the top right at the end. He unlike Rather, had the integrity to look for the truth. This interwiew is not a current event, but it is a good read. Interesting to see Brokaw pick Kerry apart, without being rude or offensive. If you remember the audio, it is even better.

Tom Brokaw says good night for the last time, but not without one little dig on Dan Rather,

Brokaw: "Whatever the story I had only one objective - to get it right."

That is great. Thanks Mr Brokaw.

Good point. I guarentee Kerry would not done another interview with Brokaw. Now that you mention it, maybe he only got tough with Kerry because he knew he was leaving. Oh well, he still did some great work...
