“It was that neutral voice that compelled Americans to welcome television newscasters Walter Cronkite or Peter Jennings into their living rooms each night.“

Bwahahahhahaha! Two leftist shills - at best.

It was that neutral voice that compelled Americans to welcome television newscasters Walter Cronkite or Peter Jennings into their living rooms each night. It was that commitment to factual reporting without slant that made the morning and evening newspapers mandatory reading.

Gotta disagree with Solomon here. Cronkite and Jennings just did a much better job of masking their bias than talking heads today.

It is not a loss of neitrality. It is the rise of biased, advocacy reporting.

Poor example of a "journalist" since this guy was anything but that.

Exact,y.

I like the way one person put it: why are they concerned about a foreigner killed by foreigners in a foreign embassy.

95% of so called Journalists are self admitted Democrats, Liberals, Progressives and / or Socialists.

Of the remaining 5%, four out of five are Liars.
