Brokaw vs. Olbermann?
NewsBuster’s Brad Wilmouth notes a semi-terse moment between Tom Brokaw and Keith Olbermann last night during MSNBC’s political coverage…(via Chickaboomer)
Shortly before 8:00 p.m., after Brokaw finished describing what he called the “very strong credentials” and “remarkable stories” of Barack Obama and John McCain, Olbermann chimed in: “And a third one trying to shoe-horn her way into those, the coverage of the first two.”
After flashing for a moment a disapproving frown, Brokaw chided Olbermann for disrepecting Clinton: “Well, I think that’s unfair, Keith. I don’t think she shoe-horned her way in.” Brokaw then went on to recount her electoral accomplishments, contending that she “will have some real bargaining power” on behalf of blue-collar workers and women.

Though he seemed to keep his cool, I suspect Brokaw feels uneasy about the sharp left turn taken by MSNBC. I’d like to see the clip.

I’d love for the libs who whine all the time about Fox’s bias to come on here and dispute MSNBC is totally in the bag for Obama.
That scene is further proof. Brokaw knows it & I guarantee he’s embarassed about it. At least in the past, liberal news anchors attempted to hide their bias. Those days are over.

I would like to see the vid. also. Not sure if it is out there, tho. I have seen this story posted elsewhere and there was no vid. there either.
I am no KO fan, he just annoys me, but it has to say something when Tom Brokaw chides you.
