Cognitive Disconnect?

While watching a bit of the coverage of Walter Cronkite I heard this come out of a reporter – “ I never knew if he was a Republican or a Democrat” They also praised his work and how he did his reporting.

If he was so good (and he was) and they all looked up to him why didn’t any of them learn from him. I would like to know if anyone knows a reporter that they don’t know if they are a Republican or a Democrat? I doubt it.

They tell us how great he was because he stuck to the facts of the story and never told us his opinion of things. . . then they go and tell us their opinion and slant the news accordingly while leaving out the facts of the story. Only the facts that back the reporters view will be told, all others ignored. They have a political agenda and don’t even try to hide it any more. . .

I wonder if they understand how foolish they look. . . . “ We loved him, he was great, The way he did things made him great! We don’t do it that way now. . . .”

They just have to pigeon-hole him... categorize him... put him in a little box and then they can explain away his success.

*sigh* People will never learn.
