Not so, Jazz, as others in this thread have pointed out before me. He reported plenty of news; I grew up watching him give the reports from Washington, D.C. on NBC Nightly News.
I feel, like some others in this thread, it's frankly too soon to bring up these kinds of criticism; have a little respect for the dead and give it some time. And no, I haven't spent my entire weekend watching coverage--I hate that kind of shit. But in my household, MTP was more important than going to church--in fact, it was my father's excuse not to go to church when the rest of us did.
Anyways...
