I was outraged at the media's sensationalist approach. I couldn't help but wonder how Cronkite and other professional journalists would have handled it.<br /><br />Nice post, "BR."Leslie Parsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743778482517634823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-36497394151448786002009-07-18T15:44:22.304-07:002009-07-18T15:44:22.304-07:00The passion he had for his chosen role in life is ...The passion he had for his chosen role in life is what made him, and anyone else so imbued, special.

There was nothing more comforting to know that he was on every night to report the news. He is one of my first true heroes in life. Sure, he was a bit of a liberal. It just makes all the more sense to me, that you could report the news honestly and without bias. He is a true legend, and worth YouTubing for his finest moments. When he retired, the news did too a little bit.Timnoreply@blogger.com
