Choose your weapon.
Hmmm. That's the first I've heard of that view.Journalism used to be such an honorable metier.
I would random a guess that anyone who meets a journalist today will have a natural suspicion of them and will be very aware of guarding their speech, if they even speak to them.
If I can find that stuff you mentioned, I'll look at it. All journalists who behave badly should be spanked, irrespective of their leanings. If one is interested in what is left of the integrity of the 'profession', that is.
And then again:
The stalwart of Journalism in that day and age was Walter Cronkite, who people (especially on the right) accuse of single handedly losing the war in Viet Nam.
Cronkite was pretty awesome, though. How things have changed.
Really? I am not making this up. It's a pretty prevalent view.
The view being that, after Cronkite stated the war was hopeless (after Tet) we stood no chance of winning.
As if the decisive point of that conflict was in 1968.
