R.I.P. Jim Lehrer PBS Anchor at 85

[Passepartout]

The originator of the McNeal-Lender report that morphed into The PBS Newshour, has passed away peacefully in his sleep, according to his family. He was 85. To many, he was the consulate newsman, whether anchoring the news, interviewing the president of moderating a debate, he did it with poise and honor. R.I.P, Sir.

He was the consulate news person unlike today’s news reporters. IMHO.
R.I.P. Jim Lehrer.

These are some words from Jim Lehrer, that I will never forget. “I am not in the entertainment business.”
