[Seeing More Clearly Now]

As far as newscasters go, my heart will always be with NBC’s John Cameron Swzyzee, my first crush. As a young girl, I attentatively watched him deliver the nightly news on the family’s brand new black and white Dumont TV, our first TV. (We got our first automobile about the same time). Mr. Swaydee seemed kind, brilliant, a no-nonsense guy, a role model, and his was the voice of knowledge and truth for all or much of the nation about what was going on beyond our neighborhood.

I like Peter Reynolds too. He sure got rattled when he announced the death of Brady on live tv.

[discostu]

I wonder if I ever could have. Growing up there was the guy we watched, the other that was acceptable if something went wrong on the network with the guy we watched, and that other dude that we never watched. I might have been able to name 1 and 2, but forget 3. Then got out of the house, haven’t watched TV “news” since, broadcast or cable.

[MayflowerMadam]

I couldn’t answer that one, for sure.

[simpson96]

Excellent.

[Jim W N]

Oh, you mean ABC - All Bull Crap, NBC - Nothing But Crap, and CBS - Clearly Bull Sh#t?

You mean they’re still around?

Imagine that.

[right way right]

I think some people over 80 still watch the 3.
I have seen they were playing CBS at the memory care where my MIL lives

[DIRTYSECRET]

*Watters World should it. $5 to be asked the question(on camera) and $5 for the correct answer. So basically STEAL my idea without credit?*

You should give it to him. Watters doesn’t know you can cook more ways than one.

I recently bought my wife a Timex watch for her birthday.

Ask Biden I wonder what his answers would be Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite and Barbara Walters.

[newzjunkey]

Haven’t watched network news since it was Rather, Brokaw and Jennings either come to think of it. I mostly watched ABC of those three but I was also reading dead tree papers. I preferred headline news to CNN. I moved online at FR since almost the beginning (forgot my first account and had this one since 98). I haven’t looked back for the most part.

I miss the days when we were able to do analysis and discussion of mainstream media more widely. Articles at FR these days tend to be blogs and alternative sites.

If wishes were horses then rides would be free; if Huntley were Cronkite we’d watch NBC!
