Larry K came from a generation that was far too revered by the punters - like walter cronkite

I mean god where DO they get ideas sich as these from?

sort of like Dimbleby senr
and was more believed than the sitting liar of a president - nixon possibly
and covered the vietnam war which was a work of art in itself
we just dont have ( and havent had for thirty or forty years) someone on tv which you see and think "oh yes he will tell us what is REALLY going on"
All the covid commentators, dont understand it themselves and so have no hope of telling us what is what

It's important to remember that Cronkite, and our own Richard Dimbleby, were from a different era in television.
In the fifties and sixties, people really did trust and revere those names - remember Dimbley's famous 'spaghetti trees' April Fool joke which the entire nation fell for, because if Dimbleby said it, it must be true.
Kronkite similarly, whatever opinion he offered, it became the default national view.
But that was then, and the world has changed out of all recgonition since those days.
King maintained a gravitas conferred by his age, reputation and experience, but he woul no more set the 'agenda' today than you or I would - and we have something approaching the same access to the world that he enjoyed exclusively back in the day.
