Remembering David Brinkley
 David McClure Brinkley July 10, 1920 – June 11, 2003 |
Before that time when ABC, NBC, CNN and their ilk became preoccupied with that fake news indigenous to a need to blow smoke or worse omit relevant news instead of propagate contemporaneous facts.
Prior to the time their political ends came before objective facts; way before that outrageous butthole Craig Melvin and his penchant for misrepresentation of and misquoting the President of the United State on the Today show ... there was David Brinkley.
He and his partner Chet Huntley were on television during the bulk of my youth and indeed they were presenters of fact — not that fiction we hear on the channels they once broadcast upon.
David Brinkley was an American newscaster for NBC and ABC in a career lasting from 1943 to 1997.
He was an award winning co-anchor and commentator. He authored three books based on observations as a young reporter.
He was awarded the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George H W Bush on December 11, 1992.
He was a pillar of that information age which existed back when the mainstream media still had credibility and weren't the yellow journalistic slugs they are today.
Boo ABC.
Boo CBS.
Boo NBC.
Boo CNN.
... and BOO to all the stupid people who believe their cooked versions of events which are not true.
