When I was young, the nightly news with CBS anchor Walter Cronkite could be trusted. He held to high journalistic standards of objectivity, which seems to have been discarded by most news networks today.
Every evening Mr. Cronkite would finish the CBS Evening News with the phrase, “And that’s the way it is.” However, if he was ending the program with opinion or commentary, he would omit that phrase to assure the viewers understood that he was not reporting facts at that moment.
This led Walter Cronkite to be labeled, “the most trusted man in America” for decades.
Proverbs 12:19 teaches, “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.”
To be trusted in business, as well as in the news business, requires being a truth-teller.
