Dad said the Fifties really were a special time and I believe him. The 50s really ended in the mid Sixties when the hippies, LSD and Commies were ascendant.
The 80s were not bad. We were still White; America was safe - no need to lock doors, high trust still, Commies were subdued, but it didn't last unfortunately. GHWB was an evil fuck and his administration marked the turning of the tide.
I just miss honest media. Or media that at least pretended to be impartial. 😕
It was hard to get past the gatekeepers but once past, you could get something resembling fairness. That all changed with the introduction of something called "Advocacy Journalism" in the early 90s.
I worked as a columnist for a very large university's daily paper in the 90s. Even opinion pieces required three verifiable sources to make claims. THREE VERIFIABLE SOURCES.
Today's "reporting" is literally gossip and tattle-taling.
