Suggest re-read what I wrote. I did NOT compare Sadaam to PJ. Nor did I suggest you are a PJ fan.
I simply don't understand the "lets not speak ill of the dead".
Why? Is there a time limit or aren't we supposed to speak ill of any dead person?
I'm not attacking your position, I just don't understand it.
Jennings certainly espoused the liberal media party line; however, he did not, to the best of my knowledge, ever do anything as blatantly underhanded and dishonest as Dan Ratherbiased. He read and reported news and he did so in a way that best presented liberalism. I will continue to despise and criticize the leftist media as I have always done. However, Peter Jennings is no longer a participant in that institution, so I fail to see the benefit of speaking harshly of him.
