Arrr, me hearties! This here scroll be part o’ the Republic of Distrust; a tale o’ trust lost in the great sea o’ American institutions! In the days of yore, ol’ Walter Cronkite, the fairest news cap’n, spun tales that even made the official crew squirm!
Ahoy there, mateys! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn about the good ol’ days of trust, when Walter Cronkite, the most esteemed news captain of the 60s and 70s, ruled the waves of American broadcasting! Aye, he be the “trusted man” on the high seas of journalism, known for his fair and true tales, even when the winds were blowin' against him!Picture this: a mighty vessel called CBS News, and on it, Cronkite be the wise old sea dog, reportin’ news to a crew of 30 million landlubbers. After a fateful voyage to Vietnam, he came back with tales that made the heart of the nation shiver! He told the folks that the American ship be takin’ on water, and by thunder, he dared to challenge the captain’s orders and the popular shanties sung by the masses!
But alas, in these treacherous waters of modern times, trust be sunkin’ faster than a cannonball to the ocean’s depths! Fear not, for this here series be chartin’ a course to reclaim that lost treasure of trust in our institutions. Hoist the sails, me hearties! There be hope on the horizon if we can steady our ships and navigate back to truth!
