Dear lord, I can't take this....but this replay is really putting some things into perspective for me.
The overwhelming bias of the program is striking, looking back from today. Hoots and hollers from the unwashed peacefreaks. I used to laugh at older folks and their knee-jerk liberalism. I always thought it was residue from the sixties and nothing more.
But watching this, I can see plainly that for a generation of Americans, the left point of view was the only point of view fed to them. No wonder the old hippies are such dimwits, it is all they ever knew!
I can't imagine an era where there were 3 networks, 5 or six radio stations, and a local paper, all parroting the left wing agenda. It's amazing conservatives survived at all actually. To the old conservatives who lived through this nonsense, Thanks for sticking to the fight....

I can't believe that I used to like Dick Cavitt. He's so biased now to my eyes, the way he admonishes O'Neill, and seems to give Kerry a break now and then.
I was young then, and never saw the biases in people like this.

Re 101:

This brings to mind that the same old hippies are teaching in the colleges and universities today. They stress critical thinking, but only if its critical of the other side.

When I was growing up in the 70's, I use to listen to the radio all the time - mostly for the music but I got most of my news info from there. I remember one station's motto or chant - the news: hear it today, see it tonight, read it tomorrow. Back then I thought it was a cool slogan. Looking at it now, I can see where the brainwashing started with the same bias day in-day out. One main thing I remember when listening to the national news and that is they would finish up a broadcast by reporting what Prava reported concerning a certain topic. I thought back then, why do we care what the Soviets are putting out? Now I know why.
