"...since Harry Reasoner, Frank Reynolds, and Howard K. Smith ‘departed...there hasn’t been objective news anchors on any nightly news..."

Judged in the perspective of time we tend to think the early anchors were more objective. But, I have a feeling they learned how they could manipulate public opinion in a hurry and if thorough research were ever done, they might be found to be lying and propagandizing as much as Geraldo or Matthews.

The real difference probably lies in the fact that they never left the anchor desk and therefor didn't inject themselves into the story.
