Unfortunately, this is model that many news "editors" use to call attention to their web pages.

I remember being 9 years old, hanging on every word Walter Cronkite said about Vietnam, and later, Watergate. There's no one around now with that kid of credibility. How is it, with all the technology, that we're less well informed than we were when we were too young to vote?

To be informed now requires turning OFF the television. Pure propaganda with a slightly different spin on different networks to give the illusion of choice. Most major newspapers are the same.

Common sense and digging on the internet past all the crap there is about it.
