My childhood memories include watching Walter Cronkite on CBS Channel 7, broadcasting from Dayton, Ohio. Cronkite was known for his objectivity.
However, in 2016, while at USC, I witnessed a CBS correspondent's biased comments about Donald Trump, the Republican Party's nominee for president.
This incident made me realize how much network news standards had deteriorated.
The reaction of NBCUniversal News Group's on-air talent to Ronna McDaniel's hiring further emphasizes the decline of legacy media.
Their actions have led to their own irrelevance.

To the editor:
The recent events at NBC highlight the growing gap between senior management's focus on increasing advertising revenue and maintaining journalistic integrity.
The decision to hire someone with a questionable record, such as Sean Spicer, raises serious concerns about the network's priorities.
The claim that there "couldn't be a more important moment" to have someone like Spicer on board, despite his involvement in the Michigan false elector scandal, is troubling.
Fortunately, the network's trusted journalists have remained steadfast in their commitment to truth.
To the editor:
It is evident that the L.A.
Times has been more diligent than NBC in maintaining a left-wing bias.
As a lifelong Republican and a supporter of Donald Trump, I find Ronna McDaniel's hiring concerning.
I believe she is partially responsible for Republican underperformance in recent elections and would classify her as a RINO (Republican in name only).
Despite my views on McDaniel, I think NBC's owner should reconsider her dismissal.
