What happened to the good old days when the News was factual and the Entertainment programming was politically neutral?
Ike was in the White House.
Indeed, some would say that the news and, particularly, newsREELS of the 1940s were unabashedly pro-USA, pro-FDR ... and the opposition GOP at the time didn't really complain, because they understood that the fight was foremost for America, not for a party or an election. I suppose those days are gone now.
"What happened to the good old days when the News was factual and the Entertainment programming was politically neutral?"
Those days were before we recognized just how much bias there was in the news because we didn't have enough non-biased news pointing it out. We were still being snowed back then. Ole Walter Cronkite did his damnedest to end the Vietnam war... and he succeeded by broadcasting the anti-war crap to the American audience every night. Just like the mainstream media is doing now. Only now, there are MANY conservative news orgs fighting back. Not so easy when you have stiff competition and the majority of Americans prefer unbiased news.
I have never known such a time. I grew up with a liberal monopoly in media, and shows like M*A*S*H, which presented conservative philosophy in the archetype of the sniveling, incompetent, holier then thou, adulterous Frank Burns.
What planet was that on ..??
