1. Aww, I'm sad. I like Peter, and he sosunded sooo bad on his

last broadcast. I guess that's why noone has heard any info about him in a long time. God bless you Peter.

5. Now that the info has been release that he died, do you like yourself?

7. yes i do......

I don't like pay websites for news. Sorry if I offended you, DUDE.

9. Oh you can't offend me, because I won't let you do that.

Guess I don't know what you mean by pay news. Peter was an anchor on ABC network news, and that's regular broadcast TV.

3. saw a tabloid with the same info in the supermarket the other day

and I hate to say it but usually the tabloids are pretty accurate with the death watches (unlike their alien babies in the WH stuff).

A friend of mine died of lung cancer. She had a brutal 18 months of life after diagnosis.

This is really sad. I liked the guy.

6. So is it true??

:( My grandfather died of lung cancer late in July too. He was doing so well and out of nowhere he just stopped eating and went down hill from there. :( I liked Mr. Jennings myself.

4. I liked him until he pissed all over the Ohio vote questions

Still, it's sad he's dying and it's not a good way to go.

8. A Legend Passes: Peter Jennings Dies at 67

I stopped watching TV news quite a few years ago, but if I opted to turn it on, it was Peter Jennings who I turned to. Who can forget the endless hours after 9/11 that Peter Jennings was there “offering a soothing sense of continuity during a troubled time.”

“There are a lot of people who think our job is to reassure the public every night that their home, their community and their nation is safe,” he told author Jeff Alan. “I don’t subscribe to that at all. I subscribe to leaving people with essentially — sorry it’s a cliche — a rough draft of history. Some days it’s reassuring, some days it’s absolutely destructive.”

At a time in our history when it’s hard to break through the endless rhetoric and spin, Peter Jennings will be missed.

Jennings’ announcement four months ago that the longtime would begin treatment for lung cancer came as a shock.

“I will continue to do the broadcast,” he said, his voice husky, in a taped message that night. “On good days, my voice will not always be like this.”

But although Jennings occasionally came to the office between chemotherapy treatments, he never again appeared on the air.
