Bill O'Reilly mentioned something the other day that got me to thinking: " it was a different world."
Amen. That's been gnawing at me. I was raised in the 40s grew up during the 50s and 60s. Different world then. Back then, I didn't know anybody with a gun. Now, I don't know anybody who doesn't own one. Back then, the girl on the block who was " easy," was known by all the boys. Today, the virgin on the block is known by every boy and she probably doesn't get asked to the dance.
Back then in south Philly, everybody avoided the mob and their influences like the plague. Today, young kids like to dress up like them, carry stilettos, and make fun of their names, like "Snub nose Frankie." Way back then, if you were depressed or in the dumps, you went to the ball game, bar or saw your girl friend for the night. Today, the single most popular perscription drug in the Pacific Northwest is Zoloft. They hand the stuff out all over the country like candy.
When I was a kid, a girl who got pregnant and wasn't married practically got drummed out of the neighborhood. Today, she gets a movie contract or her own Reality TV show.
In times gone by newspaper reporters, (Huntley/Brinkley?), doctors, POTUS, and others were considered among the more trusted by the public. Today they rank at or below used car salesmen according to nationally acclaimed credibility research foundations.
The times, they are a changing. So, that leaves us with - whom do we trust?

THE CASE AGAINST NBC NEWS
As of this writing, Brian Williams is temporarily off the air. Official announcements say internal investigations looking into the matter as to his statements will determine his future.
Ok, so, it has grown so bad, he has written the bosses saying he voluntarily pulls himself off the air because he is " a distraction. "
What we know. It appears as if he lied, in my opinion, admitting to " errors of the fog of war" while others who were there so it ain't so, Joe.
So the " late " Brian Williams now heads for the Dan Rather dump site (also caught in the same
credibility hoax over President Bush) and another legend broadcast channel gets pitched into the dumpsite.
One now wonders as does the chief execs at NBC, WHAT ELSE DID HE FAKE? HOW FAR BACK. Like lawyers caught up in faking cases, what kind of liability is this going to CO$T U$??
Credibility angle #2: Al Gore once owned a TV channel which he sold to the Arabs, Al Jazeera was born. NBC in their eternal stupidity hires a reporter out of that tent, whose name escapes me, and knucklehead appears on MSNBC program " Morning Joe" and utters this review of the American Sniper movie, " Well, his behavior was bizarre, especially when he was out on one of his KILLING SPREES. ( my emphasis.)
This I remind you is from an Arab, who now works for MSNBC who once worked for Al Jaz, criticzing a slain American Hero.
Morning Joe, BTW, wasted all of three seconds before jumping down this clown's throat, had I been on set, I would have been right behind him, bayonet in hand.
My point: gone are the days of Huntley Brinkley when you tuned them in, you were getting THE NEWS. Now you tune in NBC, or the cartoon version, MSNBC, you get the film noir version of Sesame Street.
As a reasonably intelligent, logical person-who the hell would you trust, or, if you still do, call me and I'll send over a case of your favorite Kool Aide.
