"I think we've got a bunch of thugs here, Dan."

Oh American Media, why did you die such a horrible death? Please come back to us. I miss the way you were : (

I remember many hours of broadcasts from this scene. Although as a Canadian Liberal Party supporter, I was astonished at what could happen at a Democratic convention, given that Libs and Dems are basically cut from the same cloth.

It was a police riot, ordered, abetted by Mayor Daley. The sight of the beatings, blood and oppression kept me riveted to my TV for 48 hours or so, and bolstered my resolve to not grow up to be my parents, who had no regard for the hippies in the news.

I failed.

Asshole? Try good, persistent, journalist who's creed was "find the story, get it right, get it out and let the public deal with it." He's a better journalist than most of these fashion models reading the news.
