Bernard Shaw: "Can I say something that touches on a very sensitive issue? The news media, and how we failed to thoroughly cover and communicate the very essences we're talking about possessed by Ronald Reagan. What I've been reading and what I've been hearing, I did not get during his two terms in office. Or did I miss something?" Wolf Blitzer: "I think you're on to something, Bernie, uh.. "

Shaw: "I think we failed our viewers, listeners and readers to an appreciable extent. I can't quantify it, but I'll put it there. Because I certainly missed a lot."

And this is the media outlet who trumpet that they are the "most trusted in cable news" (or something like that). Off of this comment, I wouldn't trust these guys to find cow sh*t in a dairy barn!

Instead of many of the cynical comments I've seen here, maybe we should take his comments at face value. I generally vilify liberals, but this sounds sincere...almost like an epiphany. Maybe, after seeing the outpouring of "love" expressed by the American people, he actually had change of heart. President Reagan, would have (and has) forgiven him the slight.

Besides, we can always go back to bashing him if he changes course!
