The King Is Dead! Long Live The . . . Jester???
Annuit Coeptis ^ | July 25, 2009 | Jay Henderson

According to Time, with the passing of Walter Cronkite, America’s choice for “most trusted newscaster” is . . . Jon Stewart? Really? Perhaps this shouldn’t come as a surprise, but it is discouraging to learn that a plurality of my fellow citizens prefer a jackanapes who treats news events with disingenuous mockery to . . . uh . . . well, Brian Williams isn’t so bad. Sometimes. And this I can believe: Katie Couric ran a distant, dead-dog last.

Up until a few years ago, most of us read the papers at a time convenient to us. The news shows were too long when Cronkite was around and we considered it a waste of time. Today, news is hour after hour...What a friggin' waste of time!!

When something cool like the Moon Landing occurred, we turned on the tube. TV was for pleasure back then...Johnny Carson, Lucy, Westerns, and for the kiddies...Mr. Rogers...

Life was good!! TV is cr** now!!

I find that I am happier when I expect nothing but entertainment from the boob tube.
