ICYMI| If you are reading this blog the odds are that you have spent plenty of time over the years watching Fox News.
While I am not a huge fan of the network any longer (other than Tucker and a handful of others), I watched FNC more than I watched any other channel in my 20s.
I remember watching the coverage of the Bush/Gore election of 2000, their coverage of 9/11 as it unfolded, Bush’s second election and much, much more on Fox News.
The man we lost today has a special place in my heart as I grew up listening to him report the news …
Fox News reported:
‘Fox News Channel original Jim Angle died Wednesday at his home in Arlington, Virginia. He was 75.
“Jim was a FOX News original and a top Washington correspondent whose talent and fearless reporting was unmatched. He was a central figure to establishing our Washington bureau in 1996 and was beloved across the entire network for his down-to-earth easygoing demeanor, his kindness and a smile that was ever present. He will be greatly missed, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his entire family,” FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said.
Angle joined Fox News Channel when the network launched in 1996 as a senior White House correspondent where he appeared nightly on “Special Report with Brit Hume.” Angle, who was also a regular substitute anchor for “Special Report,” covered many of the most important news stories from the early years of Fox News.
The Texas-native covered former-President Bill Clinton’s 1996 reelection, his 1999 impeachment trial, and accompanied the president on key overseas trips. In 2000, Angle reported live from former Vice President Gore’s headquarters in Nashville during the Florida recount process.’
Rest In Peace old friend.
