It's about 45 years too late. He's a loser.

It was past time for him to do so leaving the politics out of it he has not looked or sounded good for the past several years and the fact the network had relegated him to MSNBC says a lot about how they saw him.

95% of the so called journalists that work for MSM are losers.

They should all retire en masse.

He's still alive? Haven't seen him in years.

An amazing 55 year network news career. Not surprising he is not looking well, as he was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer in 2013 (multiple myeloma). Scored major coups such as being the first english speaking journalist to report on the fall of the Berlin Wall from Berlin, attending a conference in East Berlin at the time. He was there when the East German Politburo spokesman made the announcement and then reported on it from the Brandenberg Gate. He has interviewed presidents, foreign leaders of both the free world and Communist countries, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, French Legion of Merit, at least 7 Emmy Awards, Edward R Murrow Award, Sylvanus Thayer Award from The United States Military Academy at West Point and a laundry list of other awards and honorary degrees from prestigious universities and organizations civilian and military across the country.
Pretty amazing life. He did good. I wish him well.

I honestly thought Tom Brokaw retired like 30 years ago.

I'm not disputing anything about the career he has had he just hung on longer than he should have in my opinion. That is a mistake many in the news, entertainment and sports world make.

I didn't know he was still working. I guess he had to make an announcement, otherwise no one would have noticed he was no longer on board.

Brokaw (80) will hang up his mic as the only anchor to have ever led all 3 of NBC's primary news shows: "Nightly News," "TODAY" and "Meet the Press."⁠

Just because Dear Leader doesn`t allow his flock to watch real news, that doesn`t mean it doesn`t exist. Hang with Qanon, Newsmax and the rest of the kooks. No one really cares.

Brokaw's modesty was so legendary that Kurt Vonnegut called him: "The Reluctant Big Shot"
