I like Rich better than Jennings. At least Rich is honest about what he's
doing.

Jennings was a first class jerk, a propagandist and not a newsman. From him
skit with Al Franken ridiculing those who properly understood that the new
century began in 2001 to his taking cheap shots at the President shortly
after 9-11. I just didn't think this was the time to bring it up.

I've also noticed several other people than Rich that realize Jennings was a
detriment to any country.

How's that?
