So, you think we would "look better" if we also kissed up to Jennings since he is "the highest rated newscaster?

No way. He is not liked and I myself have written at least two letters of complaint against him. If you like Jennings, apparently you don't care that he insults the president - I do.

I frankly don't care what they think of us. If catering to Jennings makes us look good - too bad. Who is Jennings? A reporter on TV that slants the news to sway the public opinion. And we are supposed to ignore this and allow him to slant the news however he wishes so we look "good".

How is being polite to a visitor "kissing up"? Geez, when I was growing up in Texas I was taught that you were supposed to be civil to people, particularly visitors, even when you didn't like them. No, ESPECIALLY when you didn't like them.
