Peter Jennings Dies

Peter Jennings died of lung cancer last night. He was 67.

I never watched ABC News, mostly choosing to stick with NBC during the pre-cable news years. Still, Jennings seemed competent at his job.

Megan McArdle, writing at Instapundit, points out that Jennings death marks the end of an era. Brokaw retired, Rather resigned and now Jennings has died. Now that cable news and the internet are starting to grow bigger, the power of the big three networks will never be as great as it once was. I can't say the past era is one I'll miss at all, but its passing is still important enough to note.

I prefered Jennings to the other three. Can't tell you why, though.

Make that, to the other two. When I think of my goof about the "other three," I'm reminded of the MacNeil Lehrer hour, which was the best one.
