@thisiscory: The first video is how political talk shows looked and sounded when I first became interested in politics, the latter is what we’re dealing with today. Partisanship has always been an issue, but when the discourse becomes so toxic and filled with obvious lies, it becomes impossible to have an honest conversation about what’s really happening in this country. #fyp #retro #nostalgia #talkshow

Will D305 :

24hr News Channels were a mistake. They have to fill the airwaves with something. Eventually the shit floats

crisjay2008 :

oh yeah, political news used to be boring as shit

JimmybobJames :

I KNOW THAT DOWTOWN IN THE BACKGROUND. SHOUTOUT BLUE WAVE TULSA

Sailor McCheese :

I fucking hate how accurate this is...

Bethany Willcock :

You're missing the 1000 flashing images along the border about different insane threats.

Kevin :

I think the expansion of rural broadband access is exactly how we ended up here 😂

Falcon Hoof :

I miss boring politics. it was so much more enjoyable.

GYVAN :

I can't believe the biggest republican controversy around that time was that the vice president couldn't spell

goombanati :

I feel like the added detail of the talk show host considering "catholics" as separate from "Christian" is fucking brilliant

JaysAdventures❤️🔱🖤 :

They were so boring back then but at least I learned something. Political tv today is one step away from being Jerry Springer

alex :

I miss 90s news. Used to be bored as a kid when my parents watched the news, now I long for boring.

Bladel :

I was a political junkie in the 90s and 1. You nailed it, and 2. I feel like today’s “politics” is like the insane news clips from Robocop.

st.paul.guy :

Reagan defunding education was the start of all this

Kala :

I am so nostalgic for the first clip! I think the reasonableness that we remember is actually a historical anomaly caused by tight government control of the airwaves from the 1930s through the 1990s. The human default is sensationalism and fear.

Pat Dimitri :

idiocracy was a documentary

MIMI :

I want boring back man, why is everything so angry these days

Rod Rule :

Chef’s kiss for the old school footage.

Grass 🏳️‍⚧️ :

Those glasses are everything! 10/10

Martin jones :

It is because the FCC repealed the fairness doctrine in 1987

Lacy York :

oh how I miss when politics was "boring"

lizclarkwessel :

The 90s voice is PERFECT

citizenkate29 :

I miss this. Politics used to sounds rational and be boring.

PhoenixStalfos :

The first part is so PBS coded, and I can't explain it.

Bzzz :
