“The McLaughlin Report” was a must-watch on Sunday mornings. I was saddened to hear of John McLaughlin’s passing. He and his show will be missed.
I started watching the show with my dad then continued with my own children. I always enjoyed the commentary and the spirited back-and-forth.
McLaughlin and his show stood out for all these years. May he rest in peace for a job and a life well-lived.
