PBS NewsHour co-founder Jim Lehrer, a giant in journalism known for his tenacity and dedication to simply delivering the news, died Thursday at the age of 85.

I always appreciated his calm, even tone and strong intent to get the reporting right.  And, he's a Texan, at least for part of his life - he went to Victoria College in the Valley, then worked at the Dallas Morning News and Dallas Times Herald before starting a new kind of news program on KERA in Dallas called "Newsroom" - which eventually morphed into the national MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour that lasted for many years (and is still on today as "PBS Newshour".

A true journalist. I used to watch Newsroom. It was dry as toast, but dug into stories unlike anyone else in DFW.

Prepare thy anus

I have always appreciated KERA.  I did not know the Monty Python story until recently.  Really a groundbreaking and important station.

I’m sure he meant the famed Guadalupe River valley.

McNeil Lehrer was maybe the last great news team to anchor a show. Nice long life. RIP

One of my favorite quotes was from Jim Lehrer, on what he learned Marine boot camp: (something like) "Marines never leave behind our wounded or our dead, officers always eat last. The army is chickenshit in combat, the navy is worse, and the air force is barely even on our side"

Semper Fi Sir.
