In a piece of fawning propaganda for Wednesday’s NBC Today, special correspondent and former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw made it clear that the network would be covering the liberal legend rather that the hard reality of John F. Kennedy’s legacy to mark the 100th anniversary of the late President’s birth.

At the top of the 8 a.m. ET hour, co-host Matt Lauer teased the upcoming gooey segment by proclaiming: “And coming up, the Kennedy century. Tom Brokaw takes us on an inside look at a new exhibit marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of John F Kennedy. The fresh take on his presidency, his life, and his legacy.”
