I read and hear about inflation, two misunderstood interpretations of the issues in Israel and numerous other issues. Remember when Walter Cronkite simply read the news. He didn't offer his own take on what was going on around the country and indeed the world in general, he just reported about that day's happening. Then some years later Ted Turner fostered a new approach to news with CNN that broadcast 24/7, sometime repetitive, but heck they had 24 full hours that had to be filled.
To my way of thinking that was the snow flurry, that turned to a snow storm, that turned to a blizzard, that brought the current avalanche down on us. Other entrepreneurs saw a golden fleece in news reporting, then cable brought a new dimension. I was in a roundtable meeting in the mid 80's when some AT&T technical speakers were telling us about video text. That morphed into the present day internet monster or blessing, depending on your vantage point.
Instead of dwelling on all those ramifications, I feel pretty comfortable knowing my grandson will be starting his higher education goals at Duke in the fall. There will still be crazy headlines, I'll still reflect on what I consider the integrity of Cronkite in days go by, but I see some light at the end of the tunnel in my children, grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren that have a solid foundation and decent moral compass to rely on.
