 
Why not use this occasion to discuss the fact that the corporately controlled U.S. television "news" networks are nothing but mouthpieces for the military industrial complex and other subsidiaries of BushCheneyCorp? Why not use this occasion to discuss how U.S. TV "journalism" has devolved into mindless, fascistic cheerleading for illegal, immoral, unprovoked and imperialist U.S. invasions and occupations of sovereign nations? Why not use this occasion to discuss how the U.S. TV "news" networks treated the illegal, immoral, unprovoked and imperialist U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003 like a fucking video game or action movie and never seriously questioned the justification for the invasion, as responsible and professional reportage would?
Oh, yeah: Because the fucking corporately controlled U.S. TV "news" networks don't fucking give us the fucking news anymore, but only give us fucking pro-corporate propaganda.
Peter Jennings was part of the problem; like his cohorts, he sold out -- a fact that his death does not change.
