John Oliver spoke with NBC News’ Tom Brokaw on The Daily Show
Wednesday night that touched on Brokaw’s long career, his show on the Military
Channel, and the state of cable news.
According to Mediaite, Brokaw opened the interview joking
about how much better Jon Stewart looks with plastic surgery. Oliver praised
Brokaw’s show, and asked him if journalism has gotten better as it’s gotten
faster in the last few years. Brokaw said that consumers now have to go beyond
being couch potatoes, that news is a lot more interactive these days.
He admitted that the news is very “cluttered with chat” and
“vicious attacks,” with Oliver suggesting that the increased “speed has cost us
thought.”
