Had a chuckle.
Fox&Friends were showing a video of FDR giving his talk about the Dec. 7 attacks.
Afterward, the young guy (screen left, Dave Briggs) said everyone was glued to their tv sets that morning.
LOL
Generation gap.
Most people were glued — to their radio sets. TVs were only for the rich at that time.
F&F
Clayton Morris just commented on the ‘tv’ comment and clarified that the ‘video’ was a newsreel (theaters, not tv) and most did probably hear FDR via radio. He did say that ‘some’ people did have TV sets.
[Thus must have received an avalanche of responses regarding the ‘glued to their tv sets’ remark.]

Actually, that is a very good example of why it is difficult to trust ‘news’ people with deciding what is ‘news.’ In every field - history and climatology pop into my mind, not to mention economics or simple math! - the uninformed are either commenting or reading a telepromter written by someone even younger, with even less actual knowledge.
