The enthusiastic crowd reportedly cheered when Tom Brokaw told them what he thought about news coverage of Donald Trump’s campaign.
Legendary newscaster Tom Brokaw was at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C., back in September 2015, promoting his new book, “A Lucky Life Interrupted.”
At one point Brokaw, whose journalism career spanned over fifty years, weighed in on his profession and what he thought of the news coverage of Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
Several attendees reported Brokaw as saying he would have to “call-in sick” if he had to lead with Donald Trump every night.
The Wrap reported that “the room apparently erupted in applause following the comment.”
