RIP Jim Lehrer! The world will miss you even if they don't know it. 馃様

Every day my father and I watched his news program. That program and another two were our major sources of news for many years. He was one of the few anyone could really trust to get both sides of any issue.

He was missed when he left the program. And now he is gone.

RIP Jim.

@Zoranna He was his German name sake. A true "teacher".

He was a part of the REAL news media.
You knew that he always spoke the truth and you could trust him.
He will be missed.

I never missed their program in the late 80s and 90s. I always looked forward to a now deceased guest, Barbara Jordan.
They hit the issues hard.

Yes, he was a class act. Sadly a dying breed...

He was a lefty amongst lefties back before lefties got called on being a lefty. I hope he made peace with his Creator before he shuffled off this lowly orb.

It is. I am leaving it up because he is entitled to an opinion. And now others know just what type of person he is!

Anything further I will delete!

@Peaches Two things I will not stand for. Foul language and disrespect to those that have just died. Doesn't matter who it is.
