Jennings, Gibson, & High School Algebra

By Brian 

Why hasn’t ABC released more updates on Peter Jennings‘ condition? Charlie Gibson explains: “Chemotherapy is a long slog, and there’s not much you can say that is new. ‘Today was a good day. Yesterday was a bad day.’ That doesn’t really help, so we’ve been sparing in what we’ve said.”

USA Today’s Peter Johnson has an interview with Gibson today. He says anchoring both GMA and World News means “the days are a little long. I go back to my high school algebra: There’s X amount of work and Y number of people to do it, and all of a sudden it’s Y minus a very big one. Everybody has to fill in that extra amount.”
