Peter Jennings death watch

Looks like Pete's not doing too good. Lung cancer. Apparently ABC news affiliates have been alerted to 'Prepare for the death of Peter Jennings'.

Another icon passing from when 'news' meant more than just 'he said she said', or outright advocacy and propoganda that passes for todays newsertainment.

Nothing on the mainstream yet, just a one liner on newsblues, but lung cancer can mess you up REAL quick. I knew a person who took 1 month from diagnosis to death, and it was a fuck of a way to go. Hope he doesn't suffer much as he goes.
