I can remember as a kid when NYC had ELEVEN daily newspapers. When Sputnik was launched, I used my entire week's allowance to buy a copy of every paper that day. I still have them all up in a trunk in the attic..

You should go dig them out and examine them, not for the Sputnik coverage but for all the day-to-day stuff ... especially in the three papers which still exist (or four, if you managed to grab a Newsday way back when). You'll find that they contained a lot more information than today's versions, and that the information was, for the most part, much more objective. It's hard evidence that the MSM has dug its own grave over the last 40 years.
