Meet the Press, never known as a hotbed of humor, had hilarity by the truckload on Sunday.
Broadcast legend Tom Brokaw and dead tree legend Thomas Friedman were nearly apoplectic over the fact that conservative bloggers –- bloggers, mind you — were able to bring down a race-baiting, white-hating, 9/11 Truther communist in the White House. They couldn’t contain their disgust.
Some of the better moments:
Friedman: When everyone has a cell phone, everyone’s a photographer. When everyone has access to YouTube, everyone’s a filmmaker. And when everyone’s a blogger, everyone’s a newspaper…
Brokaw: …There’s so much disinformation out there that it’s frightening, frankly.
Friedman: The internet is an open sewer of untreated, unfiltered information … every modem sold in America should actually have come with a warning from the surgeon general that would have said, “Judgment not included.”
Friedman: Too often now people say, and we’ve all heard it, “But I read it on the internet” as if that solves the bar bet. You know, I’m afraid not. (rising in intensity with each repetition) That’s flat out stupid. That’s flat out stupid. Flat out stupid.
Amazing. The same guys who gleefully reported on forged documents about former President Bush completely ignored authentic documents and tapes about Van Jones. Yet they’re so full of themselves that they see fit to lecture America about accurate, ethical reporting.
Of course, that’s just our perspective from down here in the open sewer.

One of my favorite clips is from Charlie Rose Show.
Right after Obama got elected, Tom Browkaw was the guest. On it, they're both complaining how much they don't know about Obama

You're probably being kind Pittsburgh Z but it is jack off, not jagoff.
No, in Pittsburgh we say....jagoff.
I know the difference.
Did Brokaw (sp) mean that you have to check the facts? The same way CBS did with the GW story? Or the way the NYT does?
Seriously these people are jagoffs.
They still don't get the fact that people DO NOT care what they think.
One more thing...The President was brought in as a uniter....It is becoming very obvious that is is doing nothing but dividing this country even more.
THANKS BARRY!!! Typical Socialist...I mean Liberal...preach unity...provide division....
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH....I am sick of media elites putting down the people because they use alternative media as sources....
MAYBE, JUST MAYBE....if the TV media was fair and just at all people would go to them more often...
But because they are blowhards with their own agenda...in order to be heard they have to pull others down to their level because we all know they won't raise their integrity level to meet the alternative medias level of integrity...
Tom BOWkaw is a media hack.......
Hilarious indeed. I love IHTM.
Perhaps if they hadn't "filtered" our news and information per their liberal "judgement" the MSM wouldn't be in the mess it is today. The blogosphere is fueled by people who are sick and tired of the MSM biased one sided pablum. Its not just national political reporting. The local news on up, is filled with irrelevent, trivial and useless "reports" police chases or unimportant "scandals" and precious little on the important issues that actually effect people's lives. So to the Brokaws and Friedmans of the world, Boo hoo if you had done your job in the first place we'd all be better off.
