And That's the Way it APPEARS TO BE (RIP, Mr. Cronkite)

[civildisoBDence]

In the spirit of Cronkite's genuine attempt to remain objective, I'd like to offer some signoffs for today's oh-so-less-than-objective broadcasters to choose from:

And that's the way I want you to think it is.

And that's the way I wish it were.

And that's the way I need to spin it to really piss off those loony liberals.

And that's the way I need to spin it to really piss off those rascally Republicans.

And that's the way we report it in order to best counterprogram against our competitors.

And that's the way to report it to help me sell the most books.

And that's the way the tabloids would report it.

And that's the way our audience wants us to report it.

And that's the way we maximize profits.

At least, that's the way it appears to me.

Rest in peace, Mr. Cronkite.
