ttr: Ya gotta forgive, Doug. His lexdexia kicks in arounf the holidays and it renders him incapible of *actual reading*. Yeah, he looks at a page of words and only sees a handfull of 'em. Worse yet, he won't ake his meds! Bad Dougie... Bad...

Speaking of being off the meds, troll has forgotten to take his memory pills again. He thinks that the 60's documentaries were merely "sensationalistic" and *tabloidish* as compared to today, where investigative reporting has been fine tuned into an art. Give me a break, troll. No one, other than perhaps you, sees it that way. Don't believe me? Start you a thread entitled "Contempory Investigative Reporting by the American Press". Not only do they not report much news any more but it is so squewed toward the right.

I'm sure that you have no respect for Walter Cronkite but I heard him a couple of years ago talking about just this. He mentioned that news has moved toward "entertainment" and talked about the difficulties that they had in the 60's paring down *real news* into the 20 some minutes they have to do their half and hour segment.
