The whole ABC crowd can't fill Peter Jennings shoes

Charlie Gibson, Stephanopoulous, Barbara Walters... on ABC trying to say profound things about Gerald Ford but they can't hold a candle to Peter Jennings, I miss him.

5. Peter Jennings was the best around.
Edited on Sat Dec-30-06 08:00 PM by Kajsa
the only one who came close to him was
Ed Bradley from '60 Minutes'.



He's gone, too.

7. Peter Jennings was reasonably articulate, reasonably well-mannered,
and quite possibly a nice man; but he proved himself time after time to be a shill for ABC/DISNEY.

You don't get to be a network anchor in post Fairness Doctrine America by standing up for truth, justice and the American way.
