(10,182 posts)How many knew immediately that Louis C.K. would mop the floor with their asses? My husband and I were laughing about the miss-match.
I grew up with Huntley/Brinkley, fabulous Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Murrow, Dan Rather, and on and on. Since Fox came on the scene in the 90's, in concert with the Dubya Bush selection and I should add the consolidation of all media to a handful of providers and all we have left are vacuous entertainers. Not news people or journalists, entertainers. It sucks.
