My grandma told me many decades ago:
“Never believe anything you see on TV.”
Very sharp lady.
Smart lady. I remember once when Walter Cronkite was caught on-mike saying something about Slick Willie being Slick. I also remember seeing pictures of him and Slick and Hillary out on a sailboat buddy-buddy yukking it up somewhere out off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard.
Before I turned 18 (later got drafted) I remember Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, even Dan Rather and Cronkite et al on TV most nights. I remember their ‘reports’ about Viet Nam and doing their best to report the worst (my impression). AFAIC, they doomed the US participation and very likely were substantially responsible for a significant number of the lives of US Soldiers lost there.
