hold on. i would argue that back in the day you didn t know what cronkite was. if you were in iowa you didn t know. but if you were working at cbs news you damn well knew because i worked there. you may have known what he was off camera but you didn t know what he was on camera. bill: but decisions were made about personnel, story coverage, and point of view by cronkite, brokaw, and rather. who were committed left wingers. and koppel. you might as well add into the mix. bill: i think you were just in a daze all the time. i don t think you really interfered that much. i was at abcened a i heard the scuttlebutt but you. you about you. jennings didn t like all that ideology. he that s why i didn t bring his name up. i would rather you have criticized me because your compliments are more damaging than. bill: i have got to tell the truth. bill, what is it that you think that i have said about the network or written about
tell me. bill: do you know what it is. i m asking you to tell me what it is. bill: you concede you don t know what it is. i don t know what it is. we do five hours of hard news. they don t do one hour. it s let s push the democratic agenda from sign-on to sign-off. this is a news agency here fox news. i don t think anyone is going to be confused as to the ideological belief of most of the people who appear on fox. bill: i think that s grossly unfair to the hard news reporters. okay? if you look at our bureau system and the people we have reporting. the network is more traditional. i think that s a fairer term than the other network news. and they give weight to people, their commentators and the people they hire. if you look at all of the journalists and we can tick them down if you want. rather, brokaw, cronkite. they are all left wing guys. all of them. and you know that.
