Hal Fishman, who'd been anchoring KTLA Channel 5's 10:00 p. m. news since 1975 (just after Just Another Blog™ dragged its sorry behind to town) died early this a. m., after being diagnosed w/ colon cancer just last week. Although the television news bidness has changed significantly (for the worse) in the years Mr. Fishman was an anchor, he was pretty much a non-bullshit guy, and will be missed. He was also quite the aviator, holding several records for various flight achievements. (And he had an excellent
rughairpiece. Took us years to realize it was a piece.)
If you give a damn, there's more @ the
Times site, &
Franklin Avenue. (Check out the Joel Stein item just under the Fishman one @ Franklin Avenue too.)
