The Conversation The Press Isn't Having

There was something sadly poetic about hundreds of journalists being cut loose by some of the biggest media outlets the same week that the veteran news anchor Tom Brokaw provoked a firestorm of criticism with his comments about Latinos and immigration on last Sunday's Meet The Press.

Brokaw made the case that the mere presence of Latinos has scared conservatives into supporting the push for a border wall. He explained that conservatives in the Trump era have told him they are taking a hard stance on Latin American immigration because, “I don't know whether I want brown grandbabies.”
