Peter Jennings, the face many would say of ABC News, passed away this week following a battle with lung cancer.Jennings had been off the air since early April but in late October 2004, in what must have been his last news trips on the road, Jennings was among those covering a John Kerry presidential campaign rally at the statehouse in Des Moines, Iowa.
While many on the right viewed Jennings as a liberal, to many others he was a reporter who developed a keen insight into the news. And in today's era of turning everything into a black or white issue it was refreshing to know that a few people still knew there could be many sides to an issues.
The last of the big three (Jennings, Rather & Brokaw) to retire he may be the one most missed.
