When I was growing up, the most trusted name in news was Walter Cronkite. Today, it's Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
I don't know whether Cronkite was delivering the goods every weeknight, but he surely wasn't upstaged by Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon. That's not a slap at Stewart or Colbert, whose courageous attempts at marrying real news with humor appears to be the last bastion of political truth in America.
Well, there is one exception: Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tx).
