integrity

What a slanted debate appearance. Could you have just gotten down on your knees and given McCain some oral? Your "play by the rules, watch the lights" crap was like a 4 year old. 

Among the best ever. Second only to Cronkite.

Didn't care for him politically, but he had an awesome combo of charisma and character. I used to watch NBS News when he was the anchor.

Miss you, you crazy Native-American sexy man!

A sad day when NBC Nightly News lost him as news anchor. Good job!

Actually, I never seen much of him, but now since he has retired I wish I had watched the Nightly News more when he was the anchor. A very warm and sincere personality, witty and charming.

What can I say, MISS HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that Brian Williams is bad, but Brokaw is just one level above everyone else!

He was likeable and is the last of a genre.

Thought I'd keep it pithey?, and see what the nerds are rating. Lib quib conv . Fool me once.................uh, uh, shame, uh shame on me.................no, you..........fool me twice..................uuuhhhhhhh.

One of my all time favorites...classy, knowledgeable, and good looking for an older guy. :-)

One of the best, and most handsome, reporters of all time. One of my very favorites, too. One really classy guy!

Great voice and a true class act in the news business. He can actually report the news, Katie.

There is no God; there is only Tom Brokaw.

Anyone who says they don't like him is lying. He is a very good and non-biased broadcaster.

Glad he retired. Loved the sound of his own voice. Wise of him to move out of the way to let someone younger earn the mega-bucks.

the best i've ever seen

Low point of anchor career was premature call in 2000 election for Gore. Ouch! Also, tries too hard to come across as being a very modest, regular guy when you just know he and the other network anchors think of themselves as modern-day gods handing down the news from Mt. Olympus every night at 6:30. When asked how he thought he'd be remembered, T.B. said perhaps his hometown in S.D. would name the speed bump outside the local fire station after him. Aw, shucks fellas!

Tom was the best news ancher since the days of Walter Cronkite !!

Goodbye and good riddence.

biased to the point of disturbing

I like Tom's delivery,will miss him.I have to say,I think he was imbibin' the shine a few times while on air.

If the world were ending tomorrow, Brokaw's story line would be: World to end tomorrow, women and minorities most effected. This guy is stuck on the women and minorities story. But the good news is, retirement is near.

Can't give a [0]. Giant ego cry-baby. In love with himself and his voice.

Brokaw is one of the best when it comes to reporting the news. He reports it in a very straightforward style, but he is not afraid to show he has emotions, either. More than once, he's been known to be close to welling up when there is some sort of touching story. He doesn't seem to come off as some sort of monotone robot like so many of the others. Brokaw's for real!

Good anchor.

America's Mortician General

Liberal news wonk. Tries to sound overly important. But fails.

Boring and biased. A true leftist.

Sounds like he's drunk sometimes but he's a good journalist.

Of the three network newscaster, he's the only one I will watch because he's more objective than the other two. He's good & decent guy but I have move on to FoxNews.

I wish that the network had someone unbiased doing the news. Just before the 2000 Presidential election, I heard him interview Gore; Brokaw called him President Gore. On 911, just after the tragedy, Brokaw suggested on TV that Bush had caused 911 by not making peace in the Middle East; Brokaw forgot that Clinton had failed for 8 years to get peace in the Middle East. Recent interviews with Al Queda prisoners have shown that the 911 attacks had been planned since 1995, well before Bush took office. Brokaw is unable to hide his disdain for conservatives. A biased liberal.

Brokaw is generally good. I don't really sense any bias when he reports the news. Like everyone else, he has his beliefs, but rarely do they ever interfere with his reporting. Brokaw is a respectable and professional TV news host.

I hate how everyone compares him to liberals. For God's sakes, We are not like this babbling incoherent fool! We don't write cheesy self-biographies full of lies. Yeah. Tom Brokaw did that.

I like Tom Brokaw, he is my favorite anchor. He is professional but with a slight humanity to him, not sterile, but not preachy either. I just find his newscasts to be professional, intelligent, interesting. He reminds me of Cronkite, professional with a human touch.

Tom Brokaw is the most trusted man in America. He's like the nation grandfather. I always feel a little more safe when Tom Brokaw gives the news.

Did somebody say he's retiring??!! To quote Marv Albert: YES!!!!

Brokaw is the consummate professional with a heart. He will be missed when he retires following the next general election.

He actually sounds like me after a good night o' drinkin' straigh Jack...

Katie Couric with a penis. Wait a minute, Katie Couric may have a penis.

Liberal but more than that...boring...

He acts like a robot!!!

He is the American version of Peter Jennings (Canadian) and is the best on the list by leaps and bounds.

I hate his voice. For sure not the best of the top three network news anchors!

Love Tom!! He is GREAT!!!

Unabashed liberal.

Tom Brokaw is probably my all-time favorite newscaster. He reports with dignity and professionalism on the nightly stories of strife and maintains a bit of humor and sparkle in his eye on the personal stories of people around the world. He has shown emotion in the least-likely of situations but never pushes his opinion on the viewers. His job is to report the news, remember, not write it nor make it. Whenever something tragic happens to us, hearing Tom Brokaw's deep timbre on NBC is somehow soothing and helps to put everything in perspective.

I don't agree with all that he says, but as far as news anchors go he's tops with me.

Of the "big 3" network anchors, I feel that he's the most objective, and doesn't let his leftward leanings shine through TOO much. He seems like a good entertainer with a real sense of humor. And, his "Greatest Generation" books are a fascinating read. After he retires (which I think I read would happen in the next 2-3 years), he would probably make a good roving lifestyle-reporter type, along the lines of Charles Kurault.

The main NBC man.
