...lack of interest in providing TV news. He blamed network coverage for sapping national morale by harping on the "bad news" of deaths and deficits rather than the good works of, for example, the Boy Scouts. He accused "the media" of undermining the credibility of the U.S. Army through "anti-American" coverage in Viet Nam. His own station, lacking the resources to compete for serious news viewers, aired its newscast at 3 a.m. The show took itself so lightly that Anchor Bill Tush once read an entire script with his face hidden behind a photograph of Walter Cronkite...
...reason for the harsh tone of that speech is that despite his conciliatory gestures toward the antinuclear movement, Reagan has increasingly been disturbed by the marchers' often anti-American spirit.

In Rome, a crowd estimated at anywhere from 100,000 to 300,000 marched Saturday in a demonstration, organized largely by the Italian Communist Party, that took on a decidedly anti-American tone. On the other hand, organizers claimed to have brought out 100,000 people in Bonn the same day for a pro-U.S. rally; some carried signs asking WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT AMERICA...
...satisfied the byzantine demands of this United Nations of Cinema. Missing was made by a Greek director on location in Mexico for a major Hollywood studio, and as one caustic observer put it, "The film couldn't miss in Cannes: it was both American and anti-American." As for Yol, this slow, powerful study of six Turkish prisoners on a short leave to visit their families was "directed" by its author, Yilmaz Güney, while he was being held in a Turkish jail on a murder charge that his supporters believe was politically motivated...
