I liked Brinkley very much in his later days as a commentator and moderator of ABC's Sunday morning show. I only vaguely remember him doing the nightly news.
But was it really much better than what we have now? Walter Cronkite is regarded as such a great newsman, but he put his own spin on the news from Vietnam. The Tet Offensive in Vietnam was portrayed as a big defeat for the U.S., when in fact it was exactly the opposite.
At least now we have a bunch of outlets, so maybe if you watch them all, you might know what's going on.
