Television Was Supposed To Be A National

Tv Is Bigger Than Any Story It Reports. It's The Greatest Teaching Tool Since The Printing Press.

No Mighty King, No Ambitious Emperor, No Pope, Or Prophet Ever Dreamt Of Such An Awesome Pulpit, So Potent A Magic Wand.

While The Constitution Is What The Judges Say It Is, A Public Issue Is Something That Walter Cronkite Or John Chancellor Recognizes As Such. The Media By Themselves Do Not Make The Decisions, But On Behalf Of Themselves And Larger Interests They Certify What Is Or Is Not On The Nation's Agenda.

I Have A Motto: My Job Is Not To Make Up Anybody's Mind But To Make The Agony Of Decision Making So Intense That You Can Escape Only By Thinking.

Television Was Supposed To Be A National Park. (instead) It Has Become A Money Machine... It's A Commodity Now, Just Like Pork Bellies.
