Yeah, John Stewart was voted "most trusted newsman" in a recent poll.Originally Posted by Bel-Cam Jos
I fear that the younger posters here will have missed his value to the news industry (before it was a "business," at least), since the "news" now is sadly bogus or monetarily-based. I checked out his autobiography from the library today and hope to finish it soon. I remember him from pre-Saturday morning cartoons, where there'd be a brief news report. I used to try to copy his voice as a kid, too. Sad, sad.
What does that say about the state of "news"? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/0..._n_242933.html
Walter Cronkite I always liked the best, maybe because he looked uncannily like my Dad, bushy eyebrows and all. I always thought if he ever wanted to impersonate him, which he never did, he could have gotten closer to him than anyone else I'd seen.

Honestly, between Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Jon Stewart, and Brian Williams it is no surprise Stewart won.
Also.....9,409 votes....really?!?!
Same source also says "Bing" is America's favorite search engine.

I dunno, I just grabbed the first one on the Google search. Of course I found out about it last week in my Comcast "news" front page. It's all "the news." Originally Posted by sith_killer_99

I miss Walter.

Another boxer killed out of the ring: Vernon Forrest.
Carjacking.

Would Sarah Palin's political career count as RIP? or just her governorship?
For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.

No, she said she wanted to avoid "lame duck" status, not "dead duck." Originally Posted by Qui-Long Gone

Still, I can't help wonder how many Americans wish they could put Joe Bidens' career in a box with Palins' and bury it forever. Originally Posted by Qui-Long Gone

RIP John Hughes
A spokeswoman for John Hughes says the director
of 1980s coming-of-age films like "Sixteen Candles" and "The
Breakfast Club" has died in Manhattan.
Michelle Bega says the 59-year-old Hughes died of a heart attack
during a morning walk. He was in Manhattan to visit family.
He made a teen star of Molly Ringwald with 1984's "Sixteen
Candles" about a girl's nightmarish birthday on the eve of her
sister's wedding.
Ringwald also starred in "The Breakfast Club," about a group
of high school misfits during Saturday detention, and "Pretty in
Pink."
Hughes also directed "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and wrote
"Home Alone." He lived in Illinois and set many of his films in
the Chicago area.
