Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, January 29, 2012

NBC News and Tom Brokaw are upset about a Mitt Romney ad running frequently in Florida that consists almost entirely of a 1997 Nightly News report by anchor Tom Brokaw on Newt Gingrich's ethics committee reprimand. Brokaw said he was "extremely uncomfortable with the extended use of my personal image in this political ad. I do not want my role as a journalist compromised for political gain by any campaign."

Tom Brokaw's Personal Integrity Can In No Way Be Questioned.
This Move Only Reaffirms Rmoney For What He Is: A Rayciss.

Be Well.

History lesson?

Okay, say what ya like about the content of this ad that right there is a funneh farking title.

Cos it indirectly reminds folks of Newt claiming he made 1.6 million over a coupla years as a "historian" when he was really being a paid consultant /lobbyist.

That sed, what is the fair use criteria here?

They have the right to ask to have this taken off the air but is it a legal right or not?

Quite frankly Spud appreciates Brokaw's concerns and understands why he's doing this here but it still sounds like a really bad idea on the face of it.

Potentially it's a slippery slope towards greater censorship and lack of access to information.

Be Well.

**** Brokaw said he was "extremely uncomfortable with the extended use of my personal image (as a bought & paid for WHORE) in this political ad. I do not want my role as a journalist WHORE compromised for political gain by any campaign...unless I also get a Great Big Fucking Check...er..as usual!!!"

The only whores I see work for Faux News. Newt, the Quitta from Wasilla, etc.

Brokaw is a fucking lib tool

Don't sweat it. No one is accusing you of being objective.

On the contrary, I'm accusing you and your ilk of being partisan hacks. Do try and keep up.

You summed that up nicely in post #4.

When Obama uses it in his Ads, will Brokaw protest the use of his broadcast?

Patron, answer is yes, but Obama will not use it.

"YOUR ILK" is a copyrighted phrase of afkabl2 industries..will expect check within the week for this use...we are located right next to VANDELAY industries...cant miss us...

Unlike Brokaw, I feel I'm only doing my job if I expose the uglies and hypocrites for the tools they are. I chose the journalism racket to bring folks the truth. Sometimes that requires an appearance of non-objectivity. herm

LOL - non-objectivity? You? It's amazing ANYONE would let you write for their rag in the first place.
