Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 17, 2016

She remembers David Brinkley but not Chet Huntley?

Cute busty girl of some indefinable nationality who is currently dating the station manager. That’s her!

But, isn’t it cheating to NOT Google?

Are there still networks?

Well there’s what’s his ..Never mind, he was just sentenced to prison.

@Hank Gillette, I’m 50 and I never saw Chet Huntley (I know the name) but he was gone by the time I started watching the news regularly in the 80s…

Scott Pelley, CBS, Lester Holt, NBC, David Muir, ABC, and no search.

I could name Lester Holt, but only because of his local Chicago news connection.

My offering: All the no-names-necessary Fox News Babes Barbie Dolls

David Muir – ABC – handsome fellow ;)

For a lot of people today, Facebook, Twitter and Google are the news anchors.

Brian…

And those were all people we trusted. If Walter Cronkite said it, you knew it was the truth.Things have changed…

Bret Baier is the only one who matters.

No need to remember those today, with their breathless little voices, “I know something you don’t know” attitudes, entertainment oriented, and considerable lack of ethics.

Walter Cronkite had a face that said “Trust me.” Scott Pelley has a face that says “Slap me.” One should never delier the news with a smirk.And you didn’t see Walter, Chet, David, etc., doubling as celebrity interviewers.The beginning of the end was Babba Wawa & Jerry Rivers (yes, that’s Geraldo’s real name)

And ads for the upcoming news program actually gave the story “lead paint linked to brain damage, details at eleven” instead of “you are likely living in a death trap, tune in at six for details”

Harry Forestell….

An era has passed… and not been replaced.

Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff (PBS Newshour) are my favorites.

What about John Cameron Swayze

Cronkite said, “And that’s the way it is.” So be it.

When your right, your right. It is a sad state of affairs, isn’t it?

Classic guys – Howard K. Smith, Robert MacNeil, Jim Lehrer, and my favorite of all, Eric Sevareid. I was little then, but he used to freeze me in my tracks when I saw him on the news. And my all-time TV love, Jessica Savitch.

Cozmik CowboyThe network forced Murrow to do celebrity interviews after the sponsors objected to Harvest of Shame..K MWinchell was not a broadcast journalist, but a Broadway gossip columnist hiding behind Joe McCarthy..whoozissLehrer isn’t much better. The examples I could give of his managing the news when he was News Manager for KERA in Dallas!

Remember Christie Brinkley? Yum!
