Younger Americans will have trouble believing this...
but there was once this guy named Walter Cronkite, who would read the news on television every week night. He didn't seem to have an agenda, or try to make anyone look bad, or good. He would just read the news, and then, get this...WE WOULD ALL MAKE UP OUR OWN MINDS ABOUT WHAT WE THOUGHT.
He didn't interview smarmy, opinionated talking heads; he just read the news, matter of factly, and then he would just sign off and shut up. I'm not making this up. |

Cronkite was the one who BEGAN liberal media left wing bias.
He ****ing chartered and commanded the first flight. Replace Cronkite with Edward R. Muro and you've got yourself a thread. |

AS far as I am concerned he is the one who turned the American people against the Vietnam war and the U.S. Military.

His little editorial calling the war unwinnable pissed off LBJ. “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America.” In todays 24/7 news coverage, we have no modern Cronkite equivalent. |

I don't think Cronkite initially started out like that , but he certainly became biased. |

I remember reading about the first American P.O.W. pilot 1965 who said that his interrogator was a North Vietnamese officer. He told him the WE will not meet you militarily but we will win because your government and people will not support and will not have the will to finish this war.

My only regret is the lack of respect servicemen received that went there. Hope LBJ rots in hell. |
