Peter Jennings on 9/11 and Peter Jennings in 1994, the night of the Republican Revolution, are what stick out in my mind regarding PJ. When he said the voters were having a "temper tantrum," I could not believe it. I was in my early 20s then, and I was not as cynical about the news media. This makes me think of how the media reports poll numbers and expects their poll numbers to be an accurate predictor of elections. As if their poll formulas are some sort of prophetic device.
I do not wish lung cancer on anyone in America, but I can't get the phrase "Lettuce Roll" out of my head.
