to report the news, the news that gets reported is what maximizes income.
cronkite swallowed the national myths, and was willing to be lied to, like everyone else. if he came to be saddened by watergate and the war in asia, neither he nor any other media figure asked how such things came to pass. he was only disappointed that america's crimes finally became so obvious that they had to be disapproved of.
there will be no more more 'cronkites', because america has finally begun to grasp the character of their masters, and restrict their 'belief in' to the next king, who will not be a liar, a presider over murder teams and torture 'contractors.'
this limited belief is equally barren, as obama supporters are beginning to realize.
