Letter: We were once a great, caring nation

Years ago, our news arrived every evening, as we settled ourselves around the television and listened to Roger Mudd, Walter Cronkite or, perhaps, Huntley and Brinkley. And we trusted in what we heard and the photos that accompanied those words.Now, with social media, umpteen channels, Twitter and the like, we are bombarded (if we choose so) with many opportunities to receive our news of the world, nation and localities.I believe that the words/photos of these recent weeks are true and accurate.
