Before the 24-hour news cycle, the news was on twice a day, maybe more if there was breaking news. If nothing crazy happened, you’d get some funny news stories about the town’s biggest cat or some lady who grew a tomato that looks like Richard Nixon. I miss the simpler times.
I’d forgotten all about old school news until I stumbled upon @80snewsscreens and @90snewsscreens. Looking at these old news shots with little to no context makes it seem like 100 years ago. We’ve come so far, and not necessarily for the best.
