Brokaw: Barack Obama Has Been a ‘Scandal-Free’ President (NewsBusters)
Repeating a journalistic trope, Tom Brokaw reacted to Barack Obama’s farewell address by insisting that the President has been “scandal-free” for the last eight years. Appearing on MSNBC, Brokaw gushed over the speech: “This is the kind of speech that got him elected president. And it was that kind of appearance that he made at Boston during in the John Kerry convention that first drew attention to him.”
Brokaw praised Obama: “He's been scandal free, frankly, in the White House. We haven' had that what for a while. There have been some issues around his campaign, but they have not settled on him.”
