In our lifetime, we’ve seen the downfall of the fomerly “honorable” Dan Rather, Helen Thomas, and other political pundits who tried to shape the public’s perceptions of the issues for DECADES.
Walter Cronkite never took a fall (although his boating with Bill Clinton during Fornigate gave his perceived “objectivity” a hit). Details have since come to light to tarnish Uncle Walter’s legacy.
The public’s eyes have opened to the biases of the Pravda Media. Wonder when the journalism industry is going to do a mea culpa and clean up its act.
There's a goofy little song called "Waltzing With Bears" I was playing for my grandson. I now wonder if it refers to Uncle Walter's pro Soviet leanings!
At least there are two of us who remember old walter and the clintons off for the sunny boat ride. I can only imagine what he really was.
