My thinking as well. Once monetization of social media was perfected all of the "silent" voices could now be heard. Unfortunately, many of those voices were partisan hacks. We may never know for certain if Walter Cronkite was a decent person but he did attempt to be a gatekeeper for news, maybe even things that matter.

Comment Can totally relate (Score 1) 65

I started reading Compute magazine during the late 1970s which led to my first Commodore 64. Byte magazine was a big part of the mix. I used the same C64 to dial in to a PDP-11 for my CS degree mid 80s. The application I used as a terminal (do not recall the name) emulated a 80 column CRT on the 40 character C64. Cool times.
