Nostalgia doesn't usually have a purpose but it does help spread some oral history, so here's a blast from the past. You sound young, born from a time before the news stopped being useful. There was a time, before 1994, when the news would call out the situation and cite experts who would call out alternatives or provide clarity of what the path forward could be.

Take a look at this broadcast from 1980, before Reagan could molest the hell out of the FCC.

Literally giving out news in the format of "here's the thing, here's what it means for you." Now the news is all about blasting "information" without caring about the consequences - or worse, only broadcasting one sided info with an intent on affecting the consequences.

Thanks for the assumption.

You didn't refute anything in my comment and just took a pass to write some stuff. Nostalgia? I never mentioned it.

Edit the shared broadcast does nothing to discount my comment.

I'm not describing how news is today, but what it's ideal state should be.

Ideal: Here are the facts, impartiality.
