Something would happen, and you’d hear rumors all day at work or school and nothing would be confirmed until the next day’s newspaper came out. It wasn’t great.

No the best time was the early Internet days when you had fast access to news and information before people realized that engagement = money and the more pissed off people got the more they would engage.

Also most people generally accepted that facts were you know true, and not just living in their own made up universe.
