Ouch! Cronkite thinks so, too.

Here's what he had to say in an interview at the AZ 'Public:

"As old Thomas Jefferson said, the nation that expects to be ignorant and free expects what never will and never can be. The problem we've got with newspapers and television today, television news, is, I think, the fact that the public is too ignorant to understand the important news of the day. It wants to be entertained rather than informed."
