Tom Brokaw of NBC News isn’t a fan of Twitter. Following a news conference in Dallas
today, the veteran correspondent called tweeting “an addiction” for a lot of people, and said he doesn’t need one more distraction. “Do you want to spend your time tweeting, or reading great literature, or an analysis of what’s going on with the economy?” he said.
Asked about these tweets from 2009, Brokaw said, “I have never tweeted. That’s another problem–when [apparently phony tweets] go viral.” The newsman (pictured in photo by Jeanne Prejean) was in town to interview his old friend Bob Schieffer of CBS during a luncheon at the Hilton Anatole. The Face the Nation host was showcased in “A Conversation with a Living Legend” benefiting The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
