"And That's The Way It Is"

Another Goner.

I saw on the news when I got back to town yesterday that Walter Cronkite had died.
The teevee guide thingy said there was some sort of Walter Cronkite special on so I though I would go ahead and watch it. What a crock of shit. There were a bunch of current news people on there talking about what a great reporter he was, how he always reported "the truth", the full story and that he told those stories such you believed that they were true. I'm not going to take that away from him. From what I remember of him, I thought he did. But then, I didn't watch the news that much when he was on.

But the hypocritical motherfuckers who report the news these days may do well to take some of him and use it. The news we get nowdays is so much slanted bullshit, half truths, unreported news, and news of the entertainment world that unless people go out of their way to look and do their own research, they have no fucking clue what's going on around them.

Yeah Walter, you must have been quite proud of your peers when you drew your last breath.

"And that's the way I was told to say it is, this _____th day of _____, 2009."
