it has to be somebody they trust. Remember Walter was"the most trusted man in America". I believe the 60s and the 70s destroyed the American people's trust in their institutions.

then, there has been the reckless disregard for the truth, or at least for reasonable fact-checking, shown by the MSM. We don't trust them, the right absolutely loathes them.

Some people trust Rush or Hannity, but it is unlikely that they will ever do Cronkite's job. Besides, they are talk radio, not MSM, hence lack credibility. So, who, in the MSM, is trusted by both left and right to tell the truth about the situation? Actually, who is trusted by the left, alone? I can't think of anybody, off the top of my head.
