“THAT was a good and straight newscast the way it should be done.”
Not really. Cronkite lied to the American people night after night. He claimed the 68 Tet offensive was a loss for America and a win for the North Vietnamese. The exact opposite was true.
His broadcasts were loaded with liberal and communist innuendo, key words, and phrases. He outright lied.
True, but in this video, I at least got to hear stories presented, with opposing sides allowed to give extended statements without a bunch of hype, editorializing, and unprofessional crap from the reporter.
You are so right! I was on the news staff of the CBS station in Columbus, Ohio.
