@@user-tq3rr8vy2w , naw, I still do CBS Sunday Morning, they still have a lot of good features, including two I liked this morning, with George Clooney and the sister of Jim Morrison (which also featured the two surviving members of The Doors). And I think the first one, which was about the problems developing because we have too damn many satellites in space! And 60 Minutes still has good stories, but it won't ever match the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s heyday of all the aforementioned. And my son, who just turned 30, always liked the Andy Rooney segments, because it reminded him of Grandpa Bob, also known as my late father. There was something of a resemblance, both physically and crotchetyness.

The main difference between yesterday's media and today's media is that today we've got a media outlet called "Fox" which was intended at its founding to be the propaganda arm of the republican party. Otherwise we've still got the NY Times and others delivering all the news that republicans can't stand because it's the truth.

All he kept talking to me about on the way to his room was how he wanted to stop talking to me because I was making his neck sore from looking up at me. I'm 6'8" tall. He was very nice from what I could tell.

My uncle worked with him at CBS and Rooney was REALLY exactly how he is in these segments. I remember my uncle telling me about how he would stubbornly walk from the CBS building in such a slow, old-man fashion. I assume he was walking to/from a restaurant or something. And this massive truck came barreling at him and it was really close to hitting him hahaha. I think he may have even been jay walking. But he was so determined to be independent and I would be too if I was that sharp at 92.
