{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}NBC News reporter Tom Brokaw was taken to a hospital Thursday after appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
The former TV news anchor is a special correspondent for the network covering the Democratic National Convention.
Brokaw, 72, was taken by ambulance after feeling light-headed, according to the network.

The message was retweeted by NBC Nightly News.
Brokaw anchored the network’s “Nightly News” until the close of the 2004 election.

He appeared Wednesday night on Fox News’ “The Sean Hannity Show.”
