Out there where? There was no internet back then. TV reception in small
towns was poor and college students didn't have TVs which were fairly
expensive. Hell, we barely had phone service... long distance back then was
like 75 cents a minute on a pay phone. We knew what the newspapers printed
and they got their news from the AP and UPI teletype which was slow. And I
don't think "all news" radio started for another year or so (WINS in New
York being the first that I can remember.) Charlottesville only had two
radio stations anyway, one of them a CBS affiliate. Most of us got the
Washington Post or Richmond Times Dispatch in the morning and whatever was
in there was what we knew.... about the war, politics, sports, everything.

It was the guys in their underwear who brought down Dan Rather. Not your
staff reporters from Time, Newsweek, or the NYT. Where were the
print-oriented "Woodard and Bernsteins" of this generation? Yeah, they were
on the web in their shorts. Think about it.
