Finally, a Show About Elitist American Nostalgia!

June 26th, 2012

Scott Shackford on Newsroom:

News was so much better during those “golden days” when Edward R. Murrow vanquished Sen. Joseph McCarthy and Walter Cronkite personally ended the Vietnam War. Can’t we go back to that somehow? Where Daddy Newscaster told us what the world was like and we sat there and listened and didn’t have all these terrible polarizing arguments about what the truth is and what the facts actually are and noticing that everybody has agendas, not just evil corporations and Republican politicians?

Perhaps a bit harsh for the first episode, but the eyerolls-per-minute number was a bit elevated.
