the news

The news at one point in American History was an agent of truth. A completely journalistic endeavor whose main purpose was to inform the people. Humble hosts from Walter Kronkite to to Edward Murrow to Dan Rather would be invited into a majority of Americans homes and they were told the TRUTH. Today the first aim is not truth, but ratings. And unfortunately for America fear delivers the best ratings of all.
