Looking for a transcript or video of Peter Jennings on Daily Show
I need to know Jenning's exact words when he talked about the message his son had taken off of a blog regarding how Jennings had struck a deal to get the first disclosure show on UFO's.

If anyone has the video or the transcript or can even post what he said it is much appreciated.

TIA

1. if that was disclosure
Pete better get back whatever he traded for the right. That special wasn't any different from 100 I've seen on A&E about UFOs

3. Here's the video.
The show was repeated, late night, tonight, and this interview just was added to the website.

The gist was that this blogger believes that Jennings reported that the JFK assassin acted alone, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and against what most Americans believe, as a favor to the "shadow government." Since they now "owe" him for this, they are going to allow him to be the first of the "big three" news anchors to report a series of revelations regarding UFOs.:shrug:

5. The hidden gem in that interview
was Jon taking up for bloggers. First he implied that HE had written that e-mail, then later on he kind of backhanded Jennings across his face by saying that it doesn't take a lot of effort to identify relevant bloggers and sort out the facts. It was beautiful. Jennings knew very well that he just had his ass handed to him on the most important news program in AmeriKa.

8. I didn't pick up on that, and I saw this twice, but now I do. Thanks!
Very clever! Jon Stewart is just very good.:-)

BTW, I caught some of Peter Jennings' UFO special, and didn't pick up on any huge revelations. Did I miss something here, too?:shrug:

11. I only caught the second half, but it was hard to maintain much interest.
Either you believe these people or you don't. Jennings didn't seem to. But I didn't catch any huge revelations, or small ones, either.:shrug:

6. Re: Kennedy...
WHERE, exactly, is this "overwhelming evidence to the contrary"? Because I haven't seen it.

9. He didn't present any. He just made the statement, easy enough to do.
And I haven't seen it, either, nor did I discern any huge revelations regarding UFO evidence in Jennings' special.:shrug:
