Tom Brokaw continues to perpetuate a lie.
Years ago, I used to respect him but he continues to say that President-elect Obama broke his word about public financing.

That is total BS.

I remember witnessing an interview with Obama back in February during which he said something to the effect of (paraphrasing) "If I'm lucky enough to become the nominee, we'll reassess the matter of the most appropriate way to proceed."

How is that even remotely disingenuous ?

I'm wanting to throw stuff at the TV every time I hear him say it.

For him to continually discredit Obama's integrity when Brokaw is not even doing his research is frigging insulting.

When we all have to go digital I think I won't even bother. The frustration is hardly worth the investment.

2. There's more to what he said than that,
but its still a mischaracterization to say that he broke his word.

We must defeat the BS till it is pounded into the ground and that they have a policy of fact checking all information and encraouge their viewers to do so by law. the propaganda machine is about to be dismantled pieece by piece across the globe.
