WALTER CRONKITE.
"I cannot understand how broadcast news should have gotten so entirely oblivious to the whole theory of libel and slander," Cronkite said. "How is it possible for these people to get on the air with any allegation they want to make, any statement they want to make, as if it were true, as if they were journalists, which they are clearly not? They are scandalmongers."
Ah, sorry. Correction. Make that read "the Internet" and not "broadcast news". My bad. But we caught it, right? No harm, no foul (or somesuch).
