I'm trying to find the link between what I posted and you're response and I'm coming up empty here.

Did you actually watch the video or is just a drive by shout?

Notice they won't say his name?
They specifically said why but then they use the name River to refer to him several times. I think the original version was going to name him but legal told them to cut the name just to be safe. They wouldn't show all that video and heavily edit that piece if they didn't. Lawyers just earning those billable hours.

I don't think the news was ever honest. I feel like that is a vision of the past through rose-colored glasses.

No, there was a time in media where the bias wasn't so obvious, but you were allowed to make decisions on your own, instead of hearing from mouthpieces such as Don Lemon, Tucker, and the others...

You were allowed to listen, to read, to talk... to argue, and debate, and still remain friends... today, fuck that noise. You say the wrong thing and you are fired, blacklisted, and possibly killed if you say it to the wrong person at the wrong time.

That much is true, but the way the news is presented has always been a propaganda op. Walter Cronkite might not tell you what to think, but he's presenting you the information so that you'll draw conclusions down the road they set out for you.

True, but you may be nudged, you weren't given a full-frontal of bias like you are today.

My Papa was one of the most intelligent people I have ever known. He had books read papers every day listened to the radio (several stations to get various opinions) and researched when he didn't like what he heard.

If more people did that today, we wouldn't have government issues like we do today, and the people would be more in control.
