NBC was the last of the slightly reputable new networks back in the Tom Brokaw days. Was...Surely you jest. Tom BrokeJaw?
The guy who spent decades in the news business, but was
surprised to discover all that the WWII generation accomplished when he wrote his book about them?
I think you'd have to go back to the Huntley-Brinkley era (if not John Cameron Swayze) for a smattering of honesty.

Re your post 14, I’d say go back to “Douglas Edwards with the News” (1948-62) for a non-biased, straight-forward presentation of television news.

Surely you jest. Tom BrokeJaw? Brokaw was clearly a biased liberal, but he was less blatantly biased than Dan Rather or Peter Jennings.
In the immortal words of Rodney Dangerfield, "if you want to look thin, you hang out with fat people."
If you want to look unbiased, you hang out with Dan Rather or Peter Jennings.
