We were wondering about David Muir. Fell out with him during the debates when he insisted on calling that orange mess "Mr. President" when he should have addressed him as "Mr. Trump" or (preferably) "Mr. Felon." He was a favorite of ours.

...and All In The Family, of course. There's a lot to be said for sliding stuff under the door using the grease of Comedy.

I thought of this one... "Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again".

Which I've never personally said, but he'd be an improvement over the current shitshow.

Yes. Edward R. Murrow comes to mind. I enjoyed Wm. F. Buckley, Huntley and Brinkley too. Serious Journalism sank to a new low until MTN came along. I got a kick out of Walter Winchell and Hedda Hopper and their Hollywood banter back in the day.
