(32,324 posts)Events here in the USA, and the depth of the coverage offered is amazing.
Here in the USA, the main thing you need to know about our "Broadcasting people" is how they are simply propagandists. Remember Bill Casey's words, from his first address, which happened to be to CIA recruits in the early 1980's: "Within twenty years, every single thing an American believes will be false."
Remember also how Katy Couric interviewed George W? Later on, she is interviewed
about that interview and she confesses that she had wanted to ask him some hard questions. Only she had inferred that the Higher Ups at her TV station were not pleased with those questions so she refrained.
And a smart move, in terms of her career and her standard of living. Had she followed her instincts as a real person, and asked George W those questions, she would have immediately been Phil Donahued-out-of-existence.
