Frothy morning shows long ago became the more important anchoring real estate, garnering more revenue and subsidizing the news division. One anchor exerted moral authority once and that was Walter Cronkite, because he risked his career to go on TV and tell the truth about the fact that we were losing the Vietnam War.

This cannot be allowed to stand. We weren't losing the war until Uncle Walt took the Tet Offensive for a 'spin'.

At one time there were actually journalists working on tv. Then they became celebrities. Walter Frogbite among them.

I agree with you. The worship of Uncle Walter Cronkite is pathological.
