Mark Stephen Shields

Missing Mark Shields on the anniversary of his death. His comments on the PBS weekly news hour always were based on his wisdom, wit, faith, and the values upon which this country was founded. We sorely need the voice of Mark Shields today. May eternal peace be his heavenly reward. JEV

I'm just a "regular" long time fan of Mark missing him and his many great public service contributions and takes. In this seminal waypoint in politics (Trump convictions) reminds us of those whose insightful public discorses helped pave the way. So many of us miss you Mark!

My husband and I continue to miss Mark´s commentary every Friday on PBS news, along with his good natured repartee with David Brooks... Most of all we miss his humorous take on the weekly news, at a time when humor is badly needed and sadly lacking! We send our best wishes to Mark´s family as we continue to remember him fondly.

Sorry for commenting late, but he was friends with my father growing up and my Dad loved listening to him. He agreed with every word. I remember emailing Mark about my Dads death and he replied kindly.

What a kind hearted, good natured, witty person. Of the many celebrities lost this year, I feel this loss in particular.

I waited every week until the Friday PBS NewsHour when I could enjoy Mark´s take on the news of that week. Mark´s take on the news of that week. He always made me smile and often laugh out loud at what was going on in politics in Washington. Mark made me feel that life is truly worth living fully every day, In this my 85th year... I will continue to miss him for the rest of my life, as I know all his family members will for their lifetimes.

Our hearts go out to his family and close friends. Mark was a welcome guest in on home on Friday nights for over 30 years. His warmth, humor, love of politics and his kindness were always a comfort. A liberal Catholic, he fought the good fight and kept the faith.

With deepest sympathy to the family of Mark Shields, to whom I listened on PBS each Friday for many years, and whom I have missed since the evening of his retirement.

My late husband and I watched many years of PBS on Fridays to listen to Mark Shields. He was so intelligent, so reasonable, so able to make us understand so many political issue of so many years. I am very very sad to know he has died. I wish we had his views of the current political situation.
