"The idea that this White House has not given Tom Friedman a long, in-depth interview is astonishing to me. I have had a very good relationship with them, I have gotten to interview the President a lot. I have had access on the phone and other areas and I have been very vigorous in my discussions with them. But no reporter that I know covering national politics and the international policies that are of such great concern today know as much about them as Tom Friedman does and they have completely shut out the NEW YORK TIMES."
Leaving aside the not insiginficant issue that Friedman is currently a columnist, not a reporter...Brokaw believes that no one that he knows "covering national politics and the international policies that are of such great concern today know as much about them as Tom Friedman does"?
If that's true, we're dooooomed...
