Once one of the most trusted networks on television. Walter Cronkite was where many Americans turned for their evening news. Dan Rather admired for standing up to the crook, Nixon.

60 Minutes was the leading news show for many, many years.

Now they are paying out bribes to get some sort of political payback? They are firing people that might joke about the present President.

My, how the mighty have fallen!
