Tom Browkaw is on TDS. I had such a big crush on him 20 years ago. Who was your big journalist

[applegrove]

crush?

[nolabear]

1. Aaron Brown, and it wasn't that long ago!

Damn he was great. I still miss him.

[applegrove]

2. Oh yeah. I liked Aaron Brown like a father. He was so smart. I'll never forget

his anger at the Pentagon during Katrina. Aaron was wonderful. I miss that old time journalism a great deal.

3. Dan Rather.

I used to work with CBS and had no doubt he was the best. It wasn't so much a crush as admiration, since he would only report hard news, no celebrity divorces on CBS. :thumbsup:

4. Tom Brokaw.

Now...not so much.

5. I used to have a thing for Headline News' Lynne Russell.

She has a purty mouth.

Plus, she's a 2nd degree black belt in Choi Kwang-do so she wouldn't take any shit from me.

[madinmaryland]

14. Damn. It's been at least 10 years since she used to be on Headline News.

One tough lady!

Oh, and here's a link for you: http://www.lynnerussell.com/about.html

"This just in...RRRrroWW!"

20. Oh hell yeah.

Hubba hubba, eh?

[Brickbat]

7. I totally had a crush on Brokaw back in the day. I also liked Peter Jennings' accent, and how he

gently brought me through the Iran-Contra hearings.

[WinkyDink]

10. I met PJ in London, when he was based there. :-)

[Brickbat]

11. Jealous!

[GoCubsGo]

8. Keith Olbermann

Was and still is.

[WinkyDink]

9. OMG, let me tell you: Roger Grimsby (ABC-NY) and Dan Rather!! SERIOUSLY!!!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

12. Linda Ellerbee

And so it goes.

[nolabear]

13. I wanted to BE her! What a great woman.

[Maccagirl]

15. Yes, it's not a crush but I admire her so much

A world-class journalist who writes like a dream. It's no surprise that there doesn't seem to be a place for her in the media of today.

As for a "crush"-I guess it would be Dan Rather-easy on the eyes-and a good old-school journalist himself.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

17. She's special and always better than the medium she toiled in.

And a hottie.

[kwassa]

16. remember her in the old days?

[begin_within]

18. Harold Greene in the early 70s,

who was apparently the model for Will Ferrell's character in "Anchorman."

[KamaAina]

21. Thalia Assuras.

:loveya:

Damned CBS made her wear contacts when she came over from ABC. :grr:

[Skittles]

22. Dan Rather

he was very handsome with a super smooth voice :D

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

23. Walter Cronkite

There was no one better.

[Arkansas Granny]

24. Walter Cronkite.

OK, so I'm old.
