Longtime ABC New York anchor, Bill Beutel, passed away the other day. The man was quite an accomplished newscaster, but I think that his passing is sad because he was one of the newsmen that I watched when I was a little kid.
Ok, so maybe I didn’t “watch” him, but I remember seeing him on my family television during the nightly newscast! I do remember, though, that he was a nice guy while on camera – which is a lot more than could be said for some of the bozos who are network newsanchors these days. I mean Good Lord – some of the schmucks that I see on the nightly network news shows are just atrocious. And I’m sorry for you folks out in the Midwest, but whenever I’m out that way I can barely stand to watch the damn news because the anchors are so bad.
So rest in peace, Bill Beutel.
