And we tend to regard with great suspicion anyone who has not been trashed by the MSM.

I have mixed feelings... I grew up trusting Walter Cronkite and then at the birth of CNN I thought it was great to have national standards that hoped would uplift the crappy local Atlanta TV news. Part of me still wants politicians I admire to be looked at and found worth by the press.

But I know that's more of a longing to return to a past that wasn't really real. Cronkite was biased and CNN had production values and money to go on-site all over the world but they had/have an agenda.

So, yeah the good politicians are usually trashed by the press but I still wish it wasn't like that.
