Anyone watching the election returns for Reagan’s first term as president got to see the media’s true colors as both Rather and Cronkite openly wept on the air while proclaiming Reagan’s victory as “the end of America as we know it”. From that day forward I seek my news from alternative sources. Thank God for Free Republic, my source for news since the invasion of Grenada!

I think the Invasion of Grenada (1983) was a bit before the Internet.

Personal computers were just starting to happen in 1983.

Maybe you are thinking of the Invasion of Panama, in 1989. There was a nascent Internet of sorts back then.

That never happened. Go watch the videos on YouTube.
