David Bloom Yesterday I woke and checked the corn…
Monday, 7 April 2003 by Jacob TomawDavid Bloom
Yesterday I woke and checked the corner. I learned some horrible news. David Bloom had died. This hurt me a bit. Mr. Bloom was one of the better television journalists on our time. He had done some great work as an embed.
I grew up an NBC kid. My family’s nightly news was The NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw. When I hear that John Williams NBC news theme I get in a news receptive zone. Every weekend morning I would wake up to my mother watching the Today show. I cannot remember a single Sunday not getting ready for church with the Today show playing through the house. Often times the whole family stopping to share with someone else?s moment of joy or sorrow though the television. Today I might switch to Fox News Channel for analysis, but when the President is speaking or some other major even is taking place, I still switch over to NBC for a little comfort television. The NBC crew is like a group of cousins that are always available. There is Jim Miklaszewski at the Pentagon. Tim Russert down in Washington. And a whole variety of others around the nation and around the globe.
I will miss David as I know the rest of the family (real and NBC) will.
