Such a shame the media once had Walter Cronkite and George Wallace. Now all we have are a bunch of connected rich kids who majored in BS but knew the right people (and are pretty uniformly liberal) telling “news.” 30 years ago, the media would’ve pointed out George Zimmerman for the hero he is instead of lionizing thug Trayvon.

The media was terrible 30 years ago, and Cronkite was no walk in the park. At least there is more competition today.

even then, they’d never have forced the Imam in Chief on America. The media peddled Obama, both against Hillary AND McCain.

O’Reilly, Hannity and Kelly were not rich kids who knew the right people. Fox News’ three lead hosts are people who came from the middle class and worked their way up the ranks by their bootstraps.
