I think the thing that really makes me mad is the turn that “news” has taken over the years. Back in the Cronkite and Huntley-Brinkley days, you were given the news and then you could think about it later and draw your own conclusions. Today, the news is delivered with the slant mentioned here, but even worse, they tote out some “expert” to convince you that their opinion is the correct one. We aren't getting news, we're getting propaganda.

Cronkite was a jerk and signaled the end of any kind of fair reporting
