I wish Even Sayet had a link to this quote by Barbara Walters (such as a transcript or video clip at the MRC), but assuming it's accurate, this really does sum it all up, doesn't it?

When Peter Jennings, not long ago one of only three monolithic New York City newsmen charged with informing the public about the goings on around the globe, died recently, his colleague, Barbara Walters could think of no better way to eulogize him than to say “what made Peter great was that he knew there was no such thing as the truth.”
