In reference to covering the papal funeral, here's what radical Republican mouthpiece NewsMax
had to say:
ABC anchorman Peter Jennings, for instance, begged off on making the trek - saying he was "feeling under the weather," according to the New York Post.
And the
New York Post:
Although the pope's death is arguably the television news story of the year, network news divisions are treating it like just another funeral Mass.
ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings - the last of the Big Three still on the air - was feeling under the weather and stayed home.
So why was Jennings "under the weather"? Because he has cancer.
Nice move, guys:
Peter Jennings, the chief ABC News anchorman for more than 20 years, has been diagnosed with lung cancer and will begin outpatient treatment next week, the network said Tuesday.
