Bad Brokaw! No Cookie.
29 September 2004No peace for the wicked: FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting) issues an action alert to chastise NBC's Tom Brokaw for his rationalizing report on the GOP campaign claiming that "'liberals want to ban the bible.'" "It's clear how one should describe the claim," writes FAIR. "It's a lie, and a blatant and incendiary one. But not only does Brokaw not tell his viewers that the RNC smear isn't true, he gives 'Christian commentators' a chance to justify that deceit with another, that gay marriage could lead to censorship of sermons. Why does such an unsubstantiated and frankly bizarre claim deserve space on a national newscast? Meanwhile, the victims of the lie don't get any chance to speak in Brokaw's report; the entire item is sourced either to Republicans or to the religious right."
