Gene Siskel died in 1999 of cancer.
america’s real bert and ernie.
Watching these two fawn over what was, at its base, hideous propaganda was a major part of the cognitive dissonance I experienced between street-level New York reality and mass media treatment of same. I’m not sure why his death is being reported here on Free Republic. But rain falls equally on both the just and unjust, and I hope his soul finds peace now.
Siskel was SOOOOOOOOO much better than Ebert. I miss Siskel more to this day than I will ever miss Ebert.
