No offense but I've never understood your attitude. Any comments on Peter Jennings relate to his actions as a public figure. Like most, I knew nothing of the man off camera. Of course, I hope his family is doing well, and that he passed away quickly.

But why act like we're talking about a next door neighbor or a friend who died? If for example, Sadaam dies tommorrow, are we supposed to NOT mention the fact that he was a blood thirsty tyrant? Or that we're glad he died?

I'm indifferent to his death. Jennings was a handsome, somewhat intelligent, unremarkable man who read the news. He wasn't a great patriot or public servant. He didn't die for his country in a war. He didn't invent anything or devote his life to charity. He read the news. Big Whoop. He wasn't a biased unprofessional fraud like Captain Dan the Newsman. But he was still a dyed in the wool MSM liberal who never had a good word for conservatives.

I said NOTHING positive about Jennings, I merely suggested that no good purpose was served by speaking ill of him. And to compare his life to that of Saddam only serves to minimize the monster that Saddam was.
