Who is this Peter Jennings everyone is talking about?He's a liberal media hack, whose snobby attitude places him above us 'lowly American' conservative thinking people. At least, in his opinion.
BTW, he works here in the U.S. for ABC and does not pay taxes. It's time for this pr*ck to hit the road.
He's even a bigger 'major league a**hole' than the original (if you can imagine that) - Adam Clymer, IMO.

No wonder Rupert Murdoch is willing to pay geraldo to go to Afganistan! Murdoch may have a method to his madness. Geraldo's got less chance of surviving in Afghanistan than he did holed up in his CNBC studio.

Well...this has to part of a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy!

I could really like Texas if is wasn't for the weather. It's to hot and sticky for me.I have lived and traveled all around the U.S. (except for the northeast) and live in West Texas. No sticky here. Hot, yes...blue skies, breeze and not humid, dry as a bone. It is hot and sticky in almost every state east of Arizona. I lived in Chicago and North Carolina and D.C., HOT AND STICKY. You'd love it here.

Texas also gave us LBJ and Dan Rather.Aw, come on now....we didn't want em either!! Giving the USA George W. Bush ought to make up for that, huh? :-)

In SF Bay area (Ch. 7), there was a teaser about Jennings in Texas towards the end of the broadcast. But after the ads, there was a blank spot of about 1 minute, then some air controller tape about flight 93 (the one that crashed in Penn.). After that, it segued into Jennings from Dallas talking about how people in Texas will not soon forget the events of Sept. 11.
It seemed like a pretty crude effort at self-censorship. But I guess it answers the question of how out of touch and dumb these people really are...

I saw it too. the guy said "well, nobody likes YOU," It was so great. Yeah, Texas is not the place for the liberal media to look for someone to blow smoke up their @ss. Might work in California but not here.

No west coast version? Do they not run it AFTER the football game? That is what they sometimes do here locally, when things preempt the national news.
All is not lost, however. I will bet cash money that MRC got a tape of it. We need to check tomorrow.
What This Means
Besides this very foolish live sample, Jennings is also appearing in Town Hall meetings, where he is being attacked.
Now, ABC is owned by Disney, whose profits dropped by 82% last quarter. Eisner, the former wunderkind of the entertainment industry (and ego extraordinaire) does NOT like hearing that ABC News is losing viewers! He wants to keep his job!
So Jennings, like Bill Mahr, is on the "get your numbers up or else" tour. This is a good thing.
It lets us know that the ABC people are feeling the heat, AND as a bonus, it is personally humiliating to Peter Jennings.
Life is good.

A few thousand more days like that and he might reach the intelligence of the average American. ;-) I doubt it.

Yes Miss Marple, I was there last night at the town hall meeting. Interesting, but they are trying to do damage control instead of "self-examination". Its not working and its like the scene in Animal House when everyone in the lecture class starts saying "blow job" a real uprising. Total loss of control. Its fun, cause its been a long time coming.
