THIS WOULD ALMOST SANCTIFY LESTER’S SIGNOFF ON NBC NIGHTLY NEWS BY ADDING . . . ‘NO MATTER WHAT SIDE YOU’RE ON, WE’RE ALL AMERICANS’
At the end of each NBC Nightly News, news anchor Lester Holt looks straight into the camera and earnestly says:
“Please take care of yourself, and each other.â€
It’s a beautiful thought. He delivers it sincerely. Superbly!
I would just like to suggest one thing. I’d invite Lester to consider adding these words, which would strike an even more noble chord in the hearts and minds of millions of viewers watching him during these discordant times.
I would simply expand his closing remark as follows:
“Please take care of yourself, and each other. No matter what side you’re on, we’re all Americans!
P.S. And I don’t suggest this because I used to be vice president, assistant to the President of, you guessed it, NBC.
Producer / Writer / Director / Talent Coach
4 年And I would humbly add that we would be better off to not always take or be on a side...rather we could be in a circle and determine a solution. Or meet in the middle and get the best of both sides. That’s not even implied here, his sign-off (better than most I’ll admit) draws attention to the problem many of us have with news.
