It’ll never happen, but I’d love for the news to revert to the days of Walter Cronkite. Actual news without any spin, because viewers could and were encouraged to form their own opinions.
Fun fact: The News has never been in the news-telling business. They’re in the ADVERTISING business. Because advertisers are their main source of income, they tell only the most engaging stories and only as much as is necessary so you’ll stick around to hear the end of the story. Right through an entire hour’s worth of commercials.
Modern news, for sure Jesternario.

In the last pane Marion looks like she’d have let Rick push her up against the washing machine if he wasn’t a nutter. His loss.
Ya can’t teach an old…I mean, ANY Midwest conservative new tricks, I guess.
Poor Rick. He means well but it always ends up being idiotic. 😑
Gotta say, I love Marion’s “No. Just no.” attitude here.
I do wonder how Rick is doing in our current times…? If he’s still alive, that is.
I think I heard the Gullibility Meter go ping.
Rick, do realize that it is YOU who needs help!
Heck, who am I kidding? It’s Rick we are talking about.
Not much has changed
Same logic as “video games cause violence.”
