=== A Moment of Trust Lost (02:03) ===

[00:00:00]  This is relatively new in American history.
[00:00:04]  What was it?
[00:00:05]  In the 1960s, let's say, 70s, Walter Cronkite, a name that many of you will not be familiar with if you're younger than perhaps 45. But he was considered the most trusted man in America.
[00:00:19]  He was CBS News.
[00:00:22]  Huntley Brinkley report on NBC News.
[00:00:27]  Whether right or wrong, they were trusted.
[00:00:32]  Republicans trusted them.
[00:00:33]  Democrats trusted them.
[00:00:36]  And the left, remember, the left destroys everything it touches, and that includes news media.
[00:00:44]  So I haven't heard this clip.
[00:00:46]  I read about it, so play it.
[00:00:47]  I'll be interested.
[00:00:50]  He's kind of been thrown on his heels by this, and he's not really sure how to go after Vice President Harris.
[00:00:56]  He knew his attack lines on President Biden.
[00:00:58]  He really has struggled with how to go after someone who's 20 years younger than him, who has a different gender, a different race.
[00:01:05]  It's kind of been this moment where he has not been able to coalesce around a single attack line.
[00:01:11]  I know you guys are objective over there that you just report the news as it is.
[00:01:17]  I know, CNN makes a...
[00:01:19]  Was that supposed to be a laugh line?
[00:01:20]  It wasn't supposed to be, but I guess it was.
[00:01:23]  Wow.
[00:01:23]  Wow.
[00:01:26]  What was the woman's name?
[00:01:29]  Caitlin Collins.
[00:01:29]  Caitlin Collins?
[00:01:30]  She's a reporter.
[00:01:31]  A reporter at CNN. Even she said, is that a punchline?
[00:01:38]  What was it?
[00:01:38]  A laugh line?
[00:01:43]  Stephen Colbert's audience laughed.
[00:01:46]  When he looked at his CNN reporter and says, oh, you guys report the news as it is, or whatever he said.
[00:01:58]  That's right.
[00:01:59]  It's laughable, but it's really cryable.
