That’s what they keep calling NASA-cheerleader Walter Cronkite. I must say it sounds like a title awarded by some CBS PR op, but in one sense Cronkite was indeed that: he could be totally trusted by the oligarchy, did an effective job for them, and was plushly rewarded for it. But here’s what’s funny: no one under 30 watches TV anymore, and people under 50 know him as at most a name. So this media canonization has to do with the solipsism of an increasingly irrelevant industry. “And that’s the way it is.”
