John Palmer died, one of the better newsmen/reporters of my generation

He was a good reporter and one of my favorites.


Rest in Peace John, there aren't any left to fill your shoes.

PS, I also think Frank Reynolds and Peter Jennings were greats too.


Now we have Fox and Friends as examples of 'journalism'. yuk.
