How Spiro Agnew Lay The Groundwork For Trump Supporters’ Distrust Of Media
that was 50 years ago this week that,Richard Nixon's vice president Spiro,Agnew gave a speech to a Republican,organization in Des Moines the gist that,television news was out of step with,what most Americans think it was a,turning point for conservatives and,pointed us to where we are today,November 1969 all three broadcast,networks carried Spiro Agnew speech,about television news live and he was,none too kind to the men who ran the,industry the views of a majority of this,fraternity do not and I repeat not,represent the views of America saying,the power of television cannot be,compared to the print press Agnew,claimed the networks were censoring a,conservative point of view medium of,communication is not something that,Democratic people should blithely ignore,Richard Nixon credited Spiro Agnew with,him building his own criticism of the,press now 50 years later there are,comparisons of the Nixon era to the,Trump presidency where was that story in,the New York Times,well the New York Times is fake news who,and what news source to believe has,amped up recently,none more obvious than coverage of this,week's impeachment hearings while the,more middle-of-the-road CNN is getting,middle-of-the-road Nielsen ratings the,two most opinionated cable channels at,the best Fox News daytime coverage and,Sean Hannity saw huge numbers it is yet,another fraudulent hoax conspiracy,theory it is another witch hunt MSNBC,daytime came in second with Rachel,Maddow busting nighttime numbers it's,illegal and impeachable and he's gonna,get impeached for it as for history,repeating itself don't hold your breath,for Trump leaving these final words for,the media you don't have Nixon to kick,around anymore I had never heard that,speech from Spiro Agnew 50 years ago,about television I have to say he was,not entirely wrong the networks were,Univision when it came to their approach,to everything it was a clash of white,guys at each of the three networks and,they can,trolled the entire content basically the,universe of what we all consumed I mean,I probably wouldn't have agreed with him,but then I I certainly understand it now,there were no other voices and when you,look at it in the context of today I,mean that really didn't make a huge,inroad I think it empowered people who's,the silent majority for I remember that,term it certainly empowered people to,think differently and sort of away from,what the network the digest of the,network Daily News but it didn't change,things the way we've seen things change,today by the way that speech was written,by William staff however later went on,to become a columnist for The New York,Times you know the problem today is that,in the midst of all this we have Fox,News and rather than being a responsible,conservative voice it's spouting,discredited conspiracy theories in,primetime about the impeachment hearings,and you see that the Republicans on the,committee are essentially trying to,produce sound bites that will be heard,that night on Fox News I've thought for,years that if Fox News had been around,during Nixon he never would have had to,leave office and I think we're seeing it,play out today I think the thing that,jumped out of me is when you look back,at that time you had Walter Cronkite who,was the most trusted man in America but,what we forget is that while we think of,the solid journalism that took place at,the time he was also giving a lot of,opinion and talking about the way that,he wanted things to play out,specifically to be a Nam war right right,but but but still he did provide opinion,and which a lot of them did at the time,and you won't see you don't see anything,like that now at least not in your main,shows you have your primetime shows,which are all about opinion now that,gets lost I think on the general public,and you see that that push back the,other thing too is that when you look at,how conservatives at that time felt,about the the media there was a lot of,distrust you the same kind of climate,that you see now and we sit back and say,wow this is unusual but that same,feeling beyond just the you know Agnew,the community in general conservatives,they felt the same way,when you think of where we have now,where,reporters being caged off when they're,going to cover rallies it's just we've,accelerated this to a point that is I,think very very scary for the way we're,trying to understand truth and in fact,at this period of time I would I would,totally agree I want to just make one,comment the people at the top are not so,different I was at the top then with,rare exception there are other voices a,little bit down further from the top but,at the top the decision-makers are as at,the time agnew described you know just,as they were,I think what's you know really sad is,that yet people would like to go to a,place where they could find or feel that,they could find solid representation of,a spectrum of perspectives there's one,truth there's many perspectives they'd,like to hear the solid and not feel
