Welcome back to the Brown of the Plano Head Show. This is episode 62.

And so glad to have you back on the program.

Glad to be back with you. Just remember that you can like me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter,

So please, if you like it, share it around and tell your friends about it so we can

have more and more people get on board with the program. Okay. So today I want to talk about an

issue that I think has become dominant in the news cycle, and that is the idea of fake news and a free

press.

And I want to start with something that Tom Brokaw.

Now, if you don't know, Tom Brokaw, of course, for a long time, was a major player in the mainstream media, as he was the anchor on NBC Nightly News for years, decades.

And now that he's retired, he's got this little thing, kind of like a Paul Harvey-esque

piece that he does daily called an American story. If you've heard this thing, it's awful.

It's the most vapid piece of journalism I hear on the radio nowadays, but because it's Tom Brokaw, he has this name, and so people want to go, oh, what's Tom Brokaw have to say?

So the other day I was driving home, and I was listening to Talk Radio, and I'm in my car for maybe 10 or 15 minutes a day each way to work, so I don't have much time.

But that just happened to be on.

I was listening to the news, and then Tom Brokaw's an American story came on.

And, of course, so Tom Brokaw gets on the radio.
