I come from a time when a person’s voting preferences and political views were considered private matters—not something you discussed openly. News broadcasters like Huntley, Brinkley, Cronkite, Murrow, Brokaw, Reasoner, Jennings, Sevareid, and our local icon John Facenda simply reported the news of the day, leaving any rhetoric for the opinion section of the local newspaper. I also miss the diversity of local newspapers, as many are now owned by a single company. I really miss the Bulletin! Just a hint!
Point to Ponder: Perhaps in today’s society, we can find a way to return to a time with less hate and fewer outside influences, whether political or otherwise. It would be refreshing to move forward in a world where we can have simple discussions without risking the loss of family, friends, or neighbors, and without facing disapproval in the workplace. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
