thedesk.net
saw that this morning, grew up with him on the news before it was Fox and he co anchored with Bill McCreary.
Is there a reason why we should care? I didn't come on here and post when Gordon Lightfoot passed last week because, why should we give a fuck?
imo @playahaitian is sentimental about "old" nyc - and that potato eater is definitly a staple from that time
Yup
I grew up with that old cac back before cable and vhs tapes. And the interview he did with that homeless woman is actually why i started volunteering and interned on shelters as a kid. I remember how angry my parents were and it stuck with me.
Damn, you fellas are hard as fuck. R.I.P. Grew up watching him along with the other old-school reporters.
shout outs to Mr. McCreary!
Wait Gordon died?
Its not like your wrong.
fuck him
He WAS an asshole
But he was also stable in thousands of homes for decades. And was a very influential voice when there were less than 12 TV stations on the dial.
We had to watch him for school current events
That man was in a shootout near the studio.
But when spoke to that black woman like that? I can honestly tell you it sparked a generation of black and Hispanic kids
Your parents were angry at the homelessness or angry that you were volunteering?
I'm high as fuck. I was trying to write while high and it was coming out all right.
What I want to know is if the contract that I wrote for my job is correct. I did this shit like 2 hours ago after I already eaten the edible. I think it was pretty good
