IIRC, didn’t Peter Jennings say something to the effect of: “Do we have to cover this s**t?” when RR died?
I’m pretty sure he did.
How’s Hell these days Pete?
I never heard that, but it would hardly shock me. Not coming up with anything on google. Some lib professor actually accused him of PRO-Reagan bias during the 1984 election, as if.
He did say this at the time on air
“At the end of his presidency, a great many people thought he’d made the wealthy wealthier and had not improved life particularly for the middle class.”
and later with the cameras ON THE HEARSE
“we haven’t seen many African-American faces up at the presidential library or this morning.” Desperately wanted to turn the coverage negative, sounds like.
Such a pity he took up smoking again, I wonder if he likes the smell of brimestone.
I have more regard for my toe-jam than I do for jackals like that.
