Answers:
Yes, very much so!. He showed respect for his father and his son had respect for him!. It was a true family of caring and decent people based on middle class traditions that he never left behind!.
Everyone talked about what a tough interviewer he was, but his key was letting the other person answer his questions without interrupting them!. He knew what he had to ask was not near as important as the answer given!. That to me was what made him great!.
He hosted Meet the Press longer than any other host!. It always beat out "Face the Nation," as the de facto standard for interviewing the most powerful leaders of the world for almost a century!.
NBC & MSNBC devoted an entier hour about him after his death!. He was the top journalist in the nation!.
The problem is the newer generations don't know the difference between a journalist and a political hack!. Those that follow unbiased journalists, that don't hype things up, realize this guy is at the top of the food chain in journalism!. He was good and decent!.
Those getting degrees in journalism looked to him as someone to emulate!. Although, most likely will at best end up as a Bill O’Reilly or Keith Olbermann hack, if they are very, very, lucky!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
