I'd Call in Sick If I Had to Lead With Trump Every Day

Source: Samuel-Warde.com

Legendary newscaster Tom Brokaw was at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, promoting his new book, “A Lucky Life Interrupted.”

At one point Brokaw, whose journalism career spanned over fifty years, weighed in on his profession and what he thought of the news coverage of Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

Several attendees reported Brokaw as saying he would have to “call-in sick” if he had to lead with Donald Trump every night.

The Wrap reported that “the room apparently erupted in applause following the comment.”

they don;t have to.

I at times cover Trump, he is news worthy, but trust me, not every day.
