I loved that business and developed a great respect for the Fourth Estate back in those days.

Myself. Been a news junkie for 50 years. About the late 60's the Fourth Estate became a propaganda organ for Marxism.

So true. I mostly worked the country weeklies then and on more than one occasion heard the editor chew out a reporter along the lines of "Folks don't want your OPINION, they want FACTS!" Later on the journalism schools satrted turning out people who thought it was their job to mould peoples' opinions instead of "just the facts ma'am". They are reaping what they sowed.
