We are so far from the "newscaster" icons: Murrow, Cronkite, early Wallace Sr, and "news" has gotten completely insane ever since. Ted Turner had an original "all news" idea that became a Frankenstein monster. Then CABLE filled time with what used to be "fanzine" news about inane people, expressing idiot opinions." Is there any hope out there without freaking out over a "lying" journalist over lying government?
