That’s a shame. I remember meeting Bernard and Larry at the 1996 GOP convention in San Diego. Bernard was gracious to everyone as you would expect. Larry was an ass.
See my post #39.

Lots of people shit their pants the first time. Maybe you didn’t…good for you.
It’s what you do with shit in your pants that counts.
Please help solve a mystery for me.
Probably in the 1990s Don Imus had a humorous monologue with a line “And Bernard Shaw is one anchor desk away from being sent away for good.”
Did he have severe mental problems?
Opposed the big boss?
What?
I never located something on search engines, which now are so badly censored and logarithmed into nonsense you can find only what the leaders of social media ordain.
By the way I always despised him. I remember when he outright gloated, taking a breath and pumping up his chest “there is a battle for the soul of the Republican Party tonight.” Smirking pygmy.
Leno…I am pretty sure you don’t recall 1990. CNN was still a decent network when he was on it.
An unforgettable broadcast was Bernard Shaw on the top floor in of a hotel during the Gulf War telling us all what was happening with bombs dropping everywhere around him and the local military at anytime possibly taking them away to stop their telemetry signals.
thanks - I didn’t recognize the name, but I recognized his face
RIP
My memories of Bernard Shaw are from his time at CNN and not what it is now. That was when CNN was the big name in TV news. James Earl Jones saying "This is CNN". Shaw helped sink Dukakis in 1988 ad the Presidential debates, and ate crow in 1994 after the Crime Bill and Assault weapon ban. There was room for liberals and conservatives on the same network at the same time. The audiences knew the biases and it was OK, not a test of allegiance.
This was before the end of Bush's term and the beginning of Obama's when the mainstream news went full partisan. So I am going to remember Shaw for the time he was in the news, not the way the news is now.
>>When will this madness end?!<<
When we stop paying attention to this non-news.
He was a great, hands-on reporter.
Do you mean Larry King?
He seemed to be more of a straight-shooter than today's journalists.
RIP
I can't get worked up over him one way or the other.
Requiesce in pace.
