I must say that of all the three network anchors, I liked Jennings the best. My prayers go out to his family.
And I would like to also add that I think that some of the comments being made about Jennings political leanings are disgusting and in the worst possible taste. I remember the same thing happening last fall when Christopher Reeve died. If someone is going to disparage someone who died simply because they disagreed with them, then I have serious reservations about everything else these people say or do. Nothing can be accomplished by insulting the reputation of a man who (whether we agreed with him or not) was still liked and admired by millions. The left did the same thing when President Reagan died, but the fact that the left will act in this despicable manner doesn't mean that we should.
"Nothing can be accomplished by insulting the reputation of a man who (whether we agreed with him or not) was still liked and admired by millions."
Yes and on this day that Nixon was hounded out of office by the MSM left (Jennings included) and on this day that became a death sentence for millions in Laos and Cambodia as Carter would waiver where Nixon would not, I will pray for Jennings - just as soon as I am done with prayers for Nixon and the millions of innocents that died.
No offense but I've never understood your attitude. Any comments on Peter Jennings relate to his actions as a public figure. Like most, I knew nothing of the man off camera. Of course, I hope his family is doing well, and that he passed away quickly.
But why act like we're talking about a next door neighbor or a friend who died? If for example, Sadaam dies tommorrow, are we supposed to NOT mention the fact that he was a blood thirsty tyrant? Or that we're glad he died?
I'm indifferent to his death. Jennings was a handsome, somewhat intelligent, unremarkable man who read the news. He wasn't a great patriot or public servant. He didn't die for his country in a war. He didn't invent anything or devote his life to charity. He read the news. Big Whoop. He wasn't a biased unprofessional fraud like Captain Dan the Newsman. But he was still a dyed in the wool MSM liberal who never had a good word for conservatives.
