I have often heard the story of a Twentieth-Century Icon passing on to the afterlife; his name was Walter Cronkite. That anchor was before my generation, but one can’t help but notice many of these Twentieth Century Icons have no replacement. No one is left behind who can fill their shoes in their absence. Regardless of the news category, no one is left to carry their own water in the Twenty-First Century. Walter Cronkite is just another example of this; his legacy could be narrowed down to one word: “objectivity.” The way that the newsman would deliver the news left no traces of personal bias.

Network news anchors and their cable news counterparts today are a shadow of their forebears. They have earned America’s disdain. Fake News, as a label, is a phrase that fits like a glove with these biased people. Whether they like it or not, nobody trusts these corporate media whores. I could name names, but we all know who I am talking about. There is no escape from the Orwellian-style newscast that they vomit out every day. If they were the best at what they did, America would gravitate towards excellence; that is who “we” are. Generation X destroyed the viability of the press; we simply do not believe this generation of newscasters, that is who “they” are.
