Um, it certainly doesn’t look like he was hacked. Here’s a screenshot of the now deleted tweet:

So somebody “hacked” Brokaw’s account and the only thing the “hacker” did was share an article from Newsbusters?

Hey, “hacking” is a serious issue. And the “hacking” of one of America’s most trusted names in news is even more so. Maybe Brokaw can follow up and let us know more about the “hacking”?
