Brandeis Alums Shut Out of the White House
I don’t feel too bad for the Old Gray Lady…
From Drudge:
Tom Brokaw speaking to Chris Matthews: “The idea that this White House has not given Tom Friedman a long, in-depth interview is astonishing to me. I have had a very good relationship with them…But no reporter that I know covering national politics and the international policies that are of such great concern today know as much about them as Tom Friedman does and they have completely shut out the New York Times…”
So Tom Friedman (Brandeis ‘75) gets shut out of the White House….wonder why?
But this doesn’t mean that my alma matter is completely shut out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave….
After all, the head of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Matthew Brooks is also a Brandeis Alumnus (c/o ‘87 or ‘88 I think) Though I doubt the university will ever publically acknowledge that in light of his position. But I think he has some access to the White House
