Dan Rather: I felt a shudder down my spine yesterday watching Donald Trump

[ChiciB1]

62. Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Chet Huntley & The

famous duo Bob Woodward & Carl Bernstein were JOURNALISTS that I have "some" memory of. Even though I've felt that Bob Woodward has gone more Corporate/Journalism and to a smaller extent Carl Bernstein, they still write some good books.

What we get fed from the USUAL Big Corporate owned & controlled MSM is NOT JOURNALISM! What most here get from these so-called news people is what THEY want to feed the public. BUT, if anyone is willing to look for alternative news that actually reports news that isn't INFOTAINMENT it IS OUT there! Names of people who either got sacked when they didn't want to cow-tow to CORPORATIONS have gone to these other places and don't have a single minded agenda have become reporters there.

People that many here actually supported & respected didn't sell their soul simply to see their names in NEON LIGHTS! I used to watch MSNBC a lot but early on I slowly saw people being sacked and peeled away but still hung on for a few shows here and there! NOW, even the last person I thought would be FAIR has become controlled and lost ALL credibility with me... RACHEL MADDOW went to the very dark side.

It's simply SICKENING and I'm not buying their LOAD OF CRAP! Left them quite some time ago. I READ books and I believe I've learned so much more from them... footnotes ARE helpful. Truth be told I've learned facts that I believed were true, but actually weren't. But I CAN at least admit I was uninformed, too many people are UNABLE to do this and have feet stuck in cement & simply find a way to change the subject rather than SEE some truth. Even if you don't read a lot there are so many places on the net that YOU can become informed.

Here on DU so many people scratch their heads and wonder WHY so many in the SOUTH (using only as a reference) vote against their best interests. But it clearly exists here and people are unable to see they're doing the very same thing!!!

I shouldn't be amazed by so many people who simply WON'T even believe true FACTS when it's spoon fed to them! But at times I am.

But hey, I'm a BOOMER on my way out... and why should I CARE???
