RIP Peter Jennings
Via ABC News:
ABC News Anchor Peter Jennings died today at his home in New York City. He was 67. On April 5, Jennings announced he had been diagnosed with lung cancer.
He is survived by his wife, Kayce Freed, his two children, Elizabeth, 25, and Christopher, 23, and his sister, Sarah Jennings.
"Peter died with his family around him, without pain and in peace. He knew he’d lived a good life," his wife and children said in a statement.
In announcing Jennings’ death to his ABC colleagues, News President David Westin wrote:
"For four decades, Peter has been our colleague, our friend, and our leader in so many ways. None of us will be the same without him.
"As you all know, Peter learned only this spring that the health problem he’d been struggling with was lung cancer. With Kayce, he moved straight into an aggressive chemotherapy treatment. He knew that it was an uphill struggle. But he faced it with realism, courage, and a firm hope that he would be one of the fortunate ones. In the end, he was not.
"We will have many opportunities in the coming hours and days to remember Peter for all that he meant to us all. It cannot be overstated or captured in words alone. But for the moment, the finest tribute we can give is to continue to do the work he loved so much and inspired us to do."
Here’s the ABC News tribute page to Mr. Jennings.
Prayers and thoughts go out to his family.

Now if only Gunga Dan will bite it too…
His blatant bias infuriated me, and I think he did a tremendous amount of damage from his position of authority within the MSM. But I would not wish cancer on anybody. R.I.P., Mr. Jennings. My prayers will be with his family.
Peter Jennings was a major part of an era of TV journalism which is now gone. In the 1980s and even going into the 1990s the mainstream media reached its plateau–there were basically three major news channels.
Then came other TV stations on cable like CNN and FOX; the rise of talk radio shows like Rush Limbaugh; and finally the rise of the Internet and blogs like this one.
All these later developments are to the good–it weakens the liberal influence of the mainstream media. Peter Jennings RIP.
