I was doing my usual flip around to see if anyone is mentioning Dr. Paul this morning and realized Morning Joe was a taped show, not live today.
The guest when I was watching was Brian Williams who is evidently the host of NBC Nightly News (I do not watch that).
The three of them - Mica, Joe, and Brian - were talking about the "good old days" when Americans waited for Walter Cronkite to tell them what to think and who to vote for.
Joe complained about the internet because blogs and people like Drudge have so much control/sway.
He also complained that on many days, network news is the LAST place something gets reported.
Brian Williams said that his news show has a HUGE viewership, that they have 10 million viewers a night. Sounds like a lot, but I wonder what the ratio was back when we had 3 networks...lots of black and white televisions...no remote controls...and once the knob fell off, we used needle nosed pliers to change the channels. :o
It was an interesting little bit on there...
