What the fuck? I just recently saw her on TV I think, everything seemed fine. 61 is way too young. Damn.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

I think the last major events she did were the debates.

She definitely did some work on the debates this year, I remember that.

Sad news.

 

[Pandora012]

Goddamn I was wondering where she was during the election.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Damn, RIP.

 

[BajiBoxer]

:-(

 

[darkwing-buck]

Oh no

 

[M52B28]

I grew up seeing her face on TV. My mom always cheered for her when she came on the TV.

I'm gonna miss her.. so much, especially since she reminds me of why my mom watches PBS. She was a great person.

 

[xxracerxx]

Ahhh fuck, I have been wondering where she has been.

Truly saddened by this news.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Wow I had no idea she was sick. She was one of the few journalists who I respected.

This is terrible.

I fucking hate 2016, December 31st can't get here fast enough.

Sadly, we're just getting started.

 

[MulderYuffie]

wow that sucks
RIP

 

[Kickz]

Wait.. WTF...

RIP..

 

[Espada]

Damn.

McLaughlin and Ifill dead in the same year, PBS lost some of their best this year. These two were a constant whenever I would turn on PBS.

 

[Kickz]

Wow. Fuck you, 2016.

We need to take a knee on 2016 and just play the rest of the year out as an extended Thanksgiving break/black Friday sale.

 

[NastyBook]

R.I.P., madame.

 

[Ovid]

RIP Gwen.

She was great on PBS.

 

[Htown]

what the FUCK

 

[RustyNails]

61 wtf? Was she ill?

 

[MilShap]

Very saddened to see this. RIP

 

[Kreed]

One of my favorite newscasters/debate moderators over the years. RIP.

 

[Snowybreak]

FUCK, This is awful... Gwen was so fantastic... RIP

 

[Smellycat]

President Obama just mentioned her

 

[greycolumbus]

RIP. I don't know what it is about this year man.

 

[AquaWateria]

Seriously fuck 2016.

 

[rexor0717]

Gwen was great, really sad about this.

 

[Prinz Eugn]

We'll miss you Gwen!

 

[TylerD]

Wow, I didn't even know she was ill. Rest In Piece Gwen. Loved you on Newshour over the years I've been watching. You will be deeply missed.

 

[Raxus]

Just heard.

2016 is the worst.

She was one of my favorite journalists too.

 

[Zackat]

nooooooo

RIP she was so good.

 

[Officerrob]

Fuck you 2016

RIP Gwen

 

[WedgeX]

Gwen

RIP

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

I got more upset about this as the day went by

this sucks so bad

 

[jvm]

Worst year ever. 😥

 

[Evolved1]

No, I liked her.

This terrible year continues.

 

[littleworm]

Damn, I loved her work, she was a terrific journalist. My condolences.

 

[Technosteve]

Lets remember 2016 not for what we have lost but the memories we had made.

 

[Almighty]

My mom just told me this. Fuck cancer and fuck 2016.

 

[BBboy20]

I wonder if her last thoughts was that of despair with this election or did she still believed we will survive and prosper.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Don Lemon on CNN choked up when talking about her.

 

[Vince_Russo]

She also did the debate between Clinton/Sanders this year.

Really sad to hear this ...

 

[hamauzu kaito]

I saw one of her last appearances a couple of weeks ago (I think debate related) and I knew something was wrong because she looked drastically different but I couldn't put my finger on it. She was very jubilant and relaxed and everyone seemed to really be enjoying her company. I am happy that my last memories of her are positive. I have grown up watching her and admiring her "just right" approach to journalism. I'm surprised this thread is so short because her impact on news/reporting is resounding! RIH Gwen!

 

[Tom_Cody]

RIP

 

[Mesousa]

Holy shit didnt even know she was sick.

Grew up watching her on the news hour with Jim Lehrer.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Used to listen to Gwen a lot on Newshour. I hadn't seen her since the Democratic debates. Rest in peace.

 

[wildfire]

Out of nowhere. RIP. I dont' remember being ill.

I could take one guess why her health became worse so suddenly but there was undoubtedly a private health issue.

 

[Diablos]

RIP. She was a great moderator and journalist. 2016 is one of the worst years ever for so many reasons.

 

[Gig]

I'm surprised this many people did not know she was ill. There have been a myriad of guest hosts on Washington Week for probably at least a year and you could tell she had lost a lot of weight.

RIP Gwen.

 

[NimbusD]

The moment of zen on todays daily show was nice. Great journalists are fucking rare. RIP

 

[JustenP88]

Lets remember 2016 not for what we have lost but the memories we had made.

All I remember is the loss. Aside from American sports being interesting, this year has been atrocious.

RIP, Gwen.

 

[Xe4]

Yo, WTF. Sad she had to die this year, of all years. I remember always tuning in on Friday evenings to watch Washington Week with my dad back when I lived at my parents house. She was one of my favorite and most respected journalists, in the US or otherwise.

RIP Gwen.

 

[Foffy]

I can only hope she lived her life with presence.

May her death not have been one with immense suffering.
