I'm glad I checked back in on this thread. You have done a yeoman's job deftly removing the halo the bleeding hearts have placed on PJ.

It's a puzzlement to me when a Marxist enabler such as PJ dies, he suddenly becomes canonized. His legacy, such as it is, will likely not be accurately portrayed by historians because they come from the same school of thought. "America is not really the shining city on the hill" was his message. Millions here and around the world bought into it. IMO, the damage he did to America, and just as importantly, what he contributed to the world's view of America, can't be understated. Nor should it be. Even at his death.

But he had style.....

My definitive PJ moment was in the mid-90s when he announced in one newscast that "there was no evidence in the newly-opened Soviet archives that Alger Hiss was a KGB agent." Period.

Alger Hiss was not, of course, a KGB agent. He was a GRU agent. But there wasn't one word to this effect from PJ.

That's all anyone ever needed to know about Peter Jennings.

Your right, he did have style. Even though I am usually nattily attired in T-shirts and overalls, his pastel perfection in shirt and tie was always inspiring. I especially liked his cuff links always protruding the correct 3/4" from his coat cuffs.

You are also correct that he was a propagandist of the highest order in service to globalism and for the diminishing of American hegemony. I sincerely hope he died painlessly and surrounded by family that loved him, but he was an enemy who was able to wield a lot of damaging influence. He will not be missed.
