Tom Brokaw Laments ‘Rush’ to Judgment on Al Franken

[See NewsBusters for more.] Veteran liberal journalists Tom Brokaw and Andrea Mitchell on Thursday lamented the “rush to judgment” that forced Al Franken from the Senate. Despite the fact that eight women have now accused the Democrat of inappropriate or unwanted touching, Tom Brokaw mourned, “... There was on the part of the Democratic Party a determination and kind of a rush, if you will, to have the Senator resign so they didn't have the burden of trying to defend him.”Instead of sounding like a supporter of women’s rights, Mitchell turned a skeptical eye to the accusers of the liberal politician: “And Tom, there does seem to be a rush to judgment in this case. But immediately people jump on you and say any kind of harassment is too much to handle.”
