Whatever the bias of TV anchors, their influence has certainly waned. At one time, of course, we got all our news from Walter Cronkite and Huntley & Brinkley. With the advent of talk radio and the internet blogosphere, what Bryan Williams or Newsweek might say or not say is of much less import than it once might have been. I still think, though, that when push comes to shove, the government can count on the mainstream media to do its bidding on the big issues.
