We need a new crop of old-school TV news-hounds. We need a Barbara Walters who is capable of injecting journalism into fluff interviews. We need a Peter Jennings (oh, how I miss him) who can look at the bigger picture and tell it like it is without being provocative. And we need a Harry Reasoner/Morley Safer who can confront leaders of business and politics and speak truth to power. I know these people exist, and are waiting for the chance. It’d be nice if the hapless current guard could be shuffled away. Yeah, Don Lemon, I’m looking at you; you’re so bad, you’d fit in on FoxNews. > On Wed, Oct 25, 2017 at 9:33 AM, Tom Wolper <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Wed, Oct 25, 2017 at 12:13 PM, Steve Timko <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> It took them a long time to find a replacement and it is taking even >>> longer to get him into the chair.
