Coming from a lifetime of work in and with the media,
television, marketing and the like, I just can’t let the present situation go
without comment.
Brian Williams – how sad.
We all tell “war stories” and get away with enhancing the story to make
it a bit more fun, palatable, or worth telling.
But, Brian ol’ buddy, what you say while telling stories while
drinking a cold one with pals, and what you say on national television – there’s
a difference.
I understand a lot of your
co-workers don’t like the way you’ve swaggered around the campus, being the
BMOC, but swagger is good – and deserved – if you deserve it. Your 6 months sabbatical is what you
deserve. You might even deserve a swift
kick in the butt. Clean up your act and
come back. You’re a great story teller,
a great communicator. Use your skills to
make this a better place for everyone, not just Brian Williams.
John Stewart – OMG.
We’ve just begun to know you, and poof, you’re gone. Comedy Central was built around you and your
trusty corral of magnificent writers, observers, and bit part players. Hope you find another avenue to continue your
good work.
David Letterman. Stay,Dave, the comedy world needs some silver haired Daddy to
maintain the balance. You’ve seen a lot, you accept your entertaining guests for what they are – and we laugh every
night you’re on.
As a society of tv watchers, newsmen, and casual observers
of the social and political scene, we’ll survive the loss of all these
guys. But it won’t be the same.
It’s not the same without Larry King, Johnny Carson, Walter
Cronkite, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, Regis, and Dan Rather. Some of you still pop up now and then, but
not regularly
We’ve gotten along without you…but it was sure nice having
you there.
Stay tuned!
