Wow.

 

[Chi City 81]

Oh, my God. That sucks beyond imagination. RIP.

 

[PeteyPirate]

No freaking way. That is a shame.

 

[Webster]

Only 58. Wow.

 

[terrier]

I guess Arianna Huffington is allowed to appear on MSNBC shows again.

 

[Bubbler]

That came out of nowhere. RIP.

NBC just broke into golf with it..

Holy ****ing ****.

Awful. Brokaw is on MSNBC right now.

 

[Chi City 81]

Brokaw is fighting back tears right now.

 

[Beaker]

Wow, that's awful, RIP.

 

[AgatePage]

Brokaw is having a tough time holding it together on this special report on NBC. A shame.

 

[spinning27]

Brokaw is fighting back tears right now.

Hard to watch.

 

[Pulitzer Wannabe]

Oh, my God. This is so ****ed up. I have his Wikipedia page up from earlier because I was curious about how old he is. I wanted to see how much longer he was likely to keep doing this after someone mentioned him on a thread here, because he's so damned good on MTP.

Holy ****ing ****, this sucks.

 

[deskslave]

I really thought this was a joke headline and that he'd gotten into some kind of trouble. This is obviously much worse. What a shock.

 

[zebracoy]

RIP, tough for his family. Brokaw did a heck of a job keeping it together.

 

[alleyallen]

Oh ****! That's horrible. RIP.

I can't believe it. Can't believe it.

Brokaw is making me cry like a little girl.

Devastating.

 

[RedSmithClone]

I am shocked he is 58. I thought he was younger than that.

For all the **** I give NBC and MSNBC, this really sucks. He is one of the good men in the business.

He asked hard questions of any guest on his show. This really does suck.

I'll always remember his dry-erase board from eight years ago.
