Tom Brokaw Retires After 55 Years At NBC News | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[@MC-vh7go]

I’m 44, all the folks I grew up watching are fading away. Forgive my self centeredness but that’s how I feel. Tom Brokaw was very much a part of my day, nearly every day, every world event, he was the voice to talk you through it, him and others. Mr Brokaw hasn’t past but still, we won’t really see him again, it makes me sad. Everyone that was the voice of my youth of sport, of laughter, of entertainment are leaving and it makes me sad. The passage of time gets every one of us, even our hero’s and those we looked up to. Here is to a great voice of my generation! Tom Brokaw, always there with a steady voice of reassurance. Thank you Mr Brokaw.

[@karenjones1897]

[@jenniferhampton5171]

Thank you, Tom. I have appreciated your class and style over the years.

[@landofthelivingskies3318]

Brokaw has always been apart of my life. His voice was a great comfort to many. What a noble man.

[@valerieiceni7429]

A class act. Thank you, sir. Enjoy your retirement.

A true American Icon🇺🇸

[@maryrafuse3851]

Tom Brokaw is America's Peter Mansbridge. Canadians get this, Americans probably not. Peter & Tom know each other especially concerning the subject of the Normandy Landings and the greatest generation. Tom is truly a great American, best of his generation.

[@RaymondHng]

You gave us Peter Jennings.

Tom Brokaw more than earned it, I will miss him though. Smart, classy, and honest, a great man!

[@jamesritacco1693]

I would love to see a quality journalist of Mr. Brokaw's caliber reboot his "Fleecing of America" series.

[@alexanderwells4402]

I remember when Fleecing of America is among the segments on NBC Nightly News

[@blackhawkfan2990]

Tom Brokaw is a great Journalist and Broadcast Pioneer. From his nights anchoring KNBC-TV News to becoming an expert on the International Scene, Mr. Brokaw EARNED his Gravitas one story and one broadcast at a time. The very best to you always Kind Sir.

Trump almost destroyed all of this .

[@sandraullmann5711]

He was reporting with integrity and honesty clear-headedness. I wish the generation of reporters today had as much integrity and in addition I think I wish the people of America had that much integrity too

[@Faith_First]

Thank you for 55 years of outstanding journalism. Job Well Done.

[@motopatisserie2398]

Tom Brokaw, just read the news's, without a bias opinion either way, how refreshing would that be! he will be missed.

[@RaymondHng]

Is still done by Lester Holt, the current anchor of _NBC Nightly News_ .

[@tygereyes]

Tom has always been one of the best leaders in journalism. I remember watching Tom as a kid and an adolescent. He’s a hallmark of a great journalist and I’ll be sad to see him go. But I’m sure he’s been working hard to Train the next Generation. Tommy will be missed and I wish you the best in retirement. Blessed be.

[@alexanderwells4402]

I remember when Tom Brokaw did Nightly News from 1982 to 2004 then he hosted Meet the Press in 2008 after Tim Russert's death and he was substituting for Matt Lauer on the Today show back in 2000 and from what I remember he was on Morning Joe many times

[@weantoine]

You know its getting messy in MSM when these folks retire. He is one of the very best! GREAT voice.

[@teishiamcleod5154]

ONE OF THE BEST OF THE BEST ONE ❤ LOVE TOM

[@somsatxayalat]

I learned my English from him when I watch his news broadcasting from NBC Nightly News from my black and white TV back in the early 1980. One stone, and I got two birds. News and English language. God bless you Mr. Brokaw.

[@valoriel4464]

Will miss you. Hope you have a wonderful time Mr Brokaw

[@cindyfavorite195]

Thank you. You will be missed Tom Brokaw.

The pandemic changed his life forever

[@RoadienicknamedRory]

Maybe he can now finally get someone to tell him, in Spanish, where the library is.

[@heyheytaytay]

I thought he had already retired...

[@RaymondHng]

He stepped down from anchoring at _NBC Nightly News_ in 2004. After leaving the anchor chair, Brokaw remained at NBC as Special Correspondent, providing periodic reports for _Nightly News_ . He served as an NBC analyst during the 2008 presidential election campaign and moderated the second presidential debate between Obama and McCain. After Tim Russert's death, Brokaw served as host of _Meet the Press_ on an interim basis until David Gregory became permanent host six months later.

[@rr7firefly]

Tom Brokaw emceed the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas story about the Candy Bomber, the story about the Berlin Air Lift -- it showcases the special effort by one of the transport pilots at the end of WW II. I recommend it because it shows American idealism on the world stage. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpvdaayrarKKeZI

DId I fail to mention I had a crush on Tom when I was 10 hahaa!

I like Tom Brokaw. But there has NEVER been such a thing as the greatest generation. Tell that to interred American Asians tell that to Hispanics tell that to Native Americans tell that to Black Americans that were just trying to live life, as police dogs and water hoses were sprayed at them while peacefully protesting forced to go to the back of businesses to get food etc. Only white Americans who have a shallow remembrance of history think it was a long time ago. Sorry bi3t it was only 50 plus years ago in the 60's that minorities were just starting to get any real opportunity to live decency. Oh and by the way if you have all forgotten the United States are the only nation to drop a nuclear weapon on foreign soil and cry like a baby because other countries have the same technology.
