This is what I wrote that appeared in the paper(New York Post) in the letter to the editor section : " In the last few days, we have seen the death of a real newsman Bob Simon and the demise of a phony one- not Jon Stewart, but Brain Williams.
One difference between Simon and Williams is when Simon reported a story, it was about the story, not him. Simon was a journalist who did not seek celebrity. On the other hand , Williams is a joke-seeking celebrity. But he was a cruel joke, a bad egg.
One wonders how a man like Williams with no character rose so high in media? But it is good to know there are those like Bob Simon who had a high position in the media, proving the media isn't totally the devil's brew."
