A Trump supporter on my timeline shared a post lamenting that they’re aren’t any newscasters like Walter Cronkite anymore, who just reported the news and let the viewer make up their mind.

I pointed out that this is kind of disingenuous, in that one of his most famous on-air moments was criticizing US involvement in Vietnam, and heavily influencing public opinion against it.

She went full snowflake, offering to take down the page since she didn’t want to offend anyone. I asked who was being offended, and then wondered out loud how many of the original commenters bemoaning the lack of a Cronkite broadcasters were Fox News diehards. I described that scenario as entertaining and pure comedy.

Guess what FB post doesn’t exist anymore.

Not the best use of my time, but fuck it; this woman is a Trump supporter and birther. I keep her around just to see how the mouth breathers think.
