Man, I was scared. For a split second I thought it was Ken Jennings that died.

I knew he had lung cancer but I didnt think he would die so soon @_@

RIP even though smokers get little sympathy from me. You made the choice, you pay for it.

Who the **** cares about ****ing Ken Jennings, seriously.

I really liked Peter Jenning's coverage of September 11th, I thought he did a very good job handling the situation.

I do! Plus I never watch ABC news.

I don't appreciate your attitude.

Oh wait...

So within the space of about a year, all three network newscasters are gone. Not that it matters hugely to me because I get all my news from blogs and The Daily Show.

You know, your moral righteousness is kind of funny. When Peter Jennings was young, everybody smoked and studies hadn't conclusively linked smoking to all the horrible things we know about today. Moreover, Jennings quit smoking 20 years ago.
