I'm 56. I remember Ted Koppel being my baseline of a trusted news source. If I wanted to know, I wanted to hear what Ted had to say about it. Now, that's Rachel.
I also remember watching things like the Gulf War being beamed into our living rooms every night and seeing history happen in real time. That's how I feel now watching Rachel's coverage of this pandemic.
I record TRMS every night while I'm at work, and watch it first thing when I get home.
Her nature is investigative. Her style is plain-spoken. Her spirit is inspirational. Her wit is sharp and dry. Rachel is a beacon. A pathfinder. Beseeching us to heed and follow, unless you know a better way, and then, by all means, share your better way with us so that we can all make our way out of danger.
When we have a real president, I hope she is awarded with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
