Tom Brokaw: Journalists Need to Expose "Fake News"

Former NBC Anchor Tom Brokaw thinks that Journalists are not doing enough to expose "fake news."

Brokaw says he has a close friend who believes blatantly false stories even though Brokaw demonstrates to him that they’re not true. 

NBC News’ elder is challenging fellow journalists to write more about the scourge of “fake news.” He thinks the amount of false stories in the news ecosystem doesn’t get enough attention.

He said the lesson of the last election for journalists is too many were covering the story from the top down instead of the bottom up — meaning they need to get out in the country and find out what people are thinking.

I'm looking at you cable news......
