Ha, I lingered on ABC out of morbid curiosity in time to hear Peter Jennings inform us that popularity is not a measure of the greatness of a president.

Brings on Michael Beschloss to explain that Reagan may be a nice guy and Americans have affection, but that doesn't mean he was great. (In fairness, that is my gross paraphrasing and interpretation of his rambles)

Please tell me you are joking!

Somebody duct tape that man's mouth shut. For the good of the nation.

No, that wasn't your "gross paraphrasing". I heard it, also.
It was a direct slam and tragic insult to a great man.
