Imag­ine how embar­rassed you would be if you were sud­den­ly exposed for the per­son that you real­ly are this has nev­er been more clear than in the case of George Stephanopou­los.

It is real­ly amaz­ing you know to see how alleged­ly low the once vaunt­ed occu­pa­tion of being a jour­nal­ist has now become.

The great­est of our his­tor­i­cal reporters going all the way back to Ben Franklin is a his­to­ry that is well known.

Now you know too just what the world of jour­nal­ism has become.

Lies, Decep­tion, Omis­sion and an aller­gy to the truth at all costs.

I can remem­ber watch­ing Wal­ter Cronkite just about every night after all it was just about all there was to do back then…

I can remem­ber think­ing that when Wal­ter said it that meant it had to be true and most of the time it real­ly was because he was a straight shoot­er, sure then was like­ly some slant­i­ng but it was noth­ing like it is today.

To Wal­ter Cronkite per­haps one of the last great “real” jour­nal­ists of our time and if things do not change soon, per­haps of all time.

Oh, yes I did…

So, I thought it would be good to hear from the great man him­self, I am glad he did not have to see this ver­sion of the press because of its dis­ease and its dark shad­ows that have noth­ing to do with the truth.

In seek­ing truth you have to get both sides of a sto­ry.

Our job is only to hold up the mir­ror — to tell and show the pub­lic what has hap­pened.

Objec­tive jour­nal­ism and an opin­ion col­umn are about as sim­i­lar as the Bible and Play­boy mag­a­zine.

I particularly like that one mostly because it sheds light on the truth…

In this life we have small things that often create great happenings if only we knew which road to take at the right time.

The one thing that appears to be missing from this version of the press is humanity.
