Walter is not honest enough to tell Columbia that their Journalism school is one of the problems. Journalists are not supposed to create, screen, censure or comment on the news.

The news was destroyed by the Pulitzer prize that is given if you report the "right stuff". Columbia and all other Journalism schools jumped on board and journalism dropped DEAD.

You are right. That's why there has never been true journalists, or journalism, ever. Just like there has never been true communism (just ask any socialist). The very ideas behind both are contrary to human nature and reality.

Far better an honest partisan who will tell you, or at least won't try to lie about, where he is coming from.

Cronkite and Columbia. Both are going to burn for eternity.
