Uncle Walt, as in Cronkite? Yeah, there's some unbiased, credible integrity there... "And that's the way (we want you to think) it is..."



Wait just a second Marty. Uncle Walt was a consummate professional for the bulk of his career to my recollection. He rarely interjected his political views into the broadcast of the news - at least from what I can recall as a very young man. As his career wound down, the slant began, and upon his retirement his views were made evident. But he did have far more journalistic integrity than todays purveyors of yellow journalism.

Hehe. One of my favorates is a variation of that. "You have a right to free speech, but I am not required to listen."

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
