Others complaining that they were not front and center in a eulogy to their colleague seems very petty to me. Again, nothing against these two, who I'm sure were very instrumental in the production of a show that I enjoy. But this was an ode to John. It did not need to be strictly factually accurate to every detail of who worked on John's show or how it was produced. I felt like Tom's article was about Tom's feelings and relationship to this great man. It did not need to include others or their role in the show. In fact, I think that doing so would have diminished the focus on the man himself. FYI, I am not a friend of Tom's or a surrogate for him. I am simply a long time viewer of the show. And I think this squabbling about a heartfelt eulogy is silly and would not have been John's idea of a good discussion so soon after his passing.

I have found your participation on The Group edifying because many times you rise above the tribalism that is conservative vs liberal. I hope you continue your career dedicated to writing in the service of facts and evidence, dedicated to espousing what's best for our country and our world regardless of wether those ideas are conservative of liberal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455059465951489815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279890984740178056.post-21114112146713838352016-08-18T12:00:44.034-04:002016-08-18T12:00:44.034-04:00We need to see more of this.
