Dennis Prager contrasts Walter Cronkite's trusted news era with today's media landscape, then notes how Stephen Colbert's audience laughed when he mentioned CNN reporter Caitlin Collins, suggesting the network has lost credibility even among late-night comedy viewers.
This is relatively new in American history. Well, what was it in the 1960s, let's say, '70s, Walter Cronkite, a name that many of you will not be familiar with if you're younger than perhaps 45, but he was considered the most trusted man in America. He was CBS News. Huntley-Brinkley Report on NBC News. Whether right or wrong, they were trusted. Republicans trusted them, Democrats trusted them. And the left, remember, the left destroys everything it touches, and that includes news media. So I haven't heard this clip, I read about it, so play it, I'll be interested.
Trump has kind of been thrown on his heels by this, and he's not really sure how to go after Vice President Harris. He knew his attack lines on President Biden. He really has struggled with how to, how to go after someone who's 20 years younger than him, who is a different gender, a different race. It's kind of been this moment where he has not been able to coalesce around a single attack line.
I know you guys are objective over there, that you just report the news as it is.
Oh, I know CNN makes it. I know that's supposed to be a laugh line.
It wasn't supposed to be, but I guess. Wow. Wow. I, uh, I'd say, what was the woman's name? Caitlin Collins. Caitlin Collins? She's a reporter at CNN. A reporter at CNN. That even she said, is that, is that a, what is it, a punchline? What was it? A laugh line. Stephen Colbert's audience laughed when he looked at a CNN reporter and says, oh, you guys, you guys report the news as it is, or whatever he said. Oh, that's right. It's laughable, but it's really cryable. For the full episode of The Dennis Prager Show, go to pragertopia.com, sign up, and become a full member.
