NewsHour welcomes Judy Woodruff back
David Johnson January 22nd, 2007
Prior to her stint at CNN, Judy Woodruff covered the beltway ballyhoo for what was then called the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour. Today PBS has announced that Woodruff is coming back home as senior correspondent. She will also be editor for political coverage in the 2008 race.

You’d think that by now, she could get her name in the title.

madame woodruff is like meredith viera (i probably spelled that wrong); the two are almost ageless. they are special in that their looks can appeal to a very wide audience of both men and women.
as opposed to baabwa. who looks as old as she is…no matter how much makeup they toss on her.

She had way to much journalistic integrity, and talent, to be wasted on the increasingly fox-like CNN. I only hope she’s willing to fill the gap whenever Jim Lehrer finally leaves. So, if anyone reads this AND happens to be a friend of hers, tell her she’s got a devoted following grateful that she’s back on PBS — a following of one anyway.

Very happy to see her back and the quality and seriousness that come along with her. She is one of those rare people that oozes integrity and pours it into everything that she does. Hey, you only get one shot at it and it is not all about the money. Good for her for coming back to a show where the emphasis is on quality and integrity.

This is for Judy Woodruff: It’s a little tardy, but when I saw the recent report on Artie Bremmer, the shooter of Gov. George Wallace of Alabama, when he was running for president in 1972, I believe, I recalled having breakfast with Judy Woodruff, probably almost four years later when Wallace was running again from a wheelchair. The incident I recall..was in Madison , Wi, when protesters mocked Wallace at his luncheon apperance by wearing Bremer masks and romping through the room. I was covering Wallace for a few days for my paper, The Milwaukee Sentinel, and we bannered the story… The next morning, we were in Janesville, WI, having breakfast and Judy broached the subject of how come none of the networks touched the Bremer mask story, but we locals played it big. She was correc,t, of course….it was a story.. David Dick was there for CBS and he told us he didn’t even offer it for a story. Now wonder…I think Judy was symphthetic to our play and I’ve long wondered what she did with it, for PBS, I believe, at that time??. Anyway, 30 years later, I still admire her work….and her longevity. Regads from an old newshound. Neil Shively, in Cambridge,, WI
