So nice to see the ignorance, closed mindedness and juvenile responses on display here:

"liberal media" - So is ALL media "liberal media"? What about Town Hall, Fox News, etc.? Or is it only the media that disagrees with you?

"pestilent liberal snobs" - As opposed to virulent conservative snobs? Kettle meet pot. So who is the snob really?

"covert Communists" - Proof please or is this just more name calling?

"communist news media" - Proof please or is this still more name calling?

"mainstream communist media" - Ooooh, big words - now do you have something tangible to SAY? Facts, proof - anything?

"wooden soldiers of the Eastern liberal establishment" - Yes the paranoia runs rampant here. Better...

Like most of my draft-dodging generation, during the 1960s I heard Walter Cronkite’s authoritative voice more often than I heard the voices of my own parents.

I even ate dinner hundreds of times with the sainted TV journalist who anchored the CBS evening news from 1962 until 1981 and died last week at age 92.

I grew up on a nightly diet of TV news and commentary that was written, produced and spun by “the most trusted man in America” and his gang of liberal CBS reporters and commentators.

I had no choice...
