NEW YORK(AP) While acknowledging mistakes in CBS anchor Dan Rather's "60 Minutes" report that questioned President Bush's service in the National Guard, competing news anchors Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings offered support Saturday for the beleaguered newsman.

Brokaw blasted what he called an attempt to "demonize" CBS and Rather on the Internet, where complaints about the report first surfaced. He said the criticism "goes well beyond any factual information."

"What I think is highly inappropriate is what going on across the Internet, a kind of political jihad ... that is quite outrageous," the NBC anchor said at a panel on which all three men spoke.

1. Kudos to Brokaw

He's sometimes a bit of a wimp, but at least he has a sense of loyalty!

2. Good for Brokaw!

"There but for the Grace of God go I" is something that obviously crossed his mind recently. I doubt he defended Faux News and their faux stories about Kerry, correct? Two fake stories in two days?! Unbelievable.
