For better or worse, Jennings was part of the cultural fabric within which politics has existed (this is a Political forum, remember)?
To a great degree he, Rather and Brokaw were responsible for the MSM going from reporting news to shaping news and its eventual downfall.
That is why he is important. Many of us still saw him nightly and felt a connection, even if an angry one, and wished him personally nothing but good. We are using this thread to express those thoughts.
If you don't like the subject you can stay off the thread.
Are others allows to "express" their own "thoughts" about Jennings, or are you advocating censorship or sensitivity training?
I apologize. I didn't notice the "hagiography" tag in ther title.
