Because of his lie about the Tet offensive in 1968/69 and his effect on American opinions, Cronkite is responsible for many thousands of American deaths. Cronkite, after his TV retirement, went full lefty. RIHWC!
“CBS television news anchor Walter Cronkite, who had witnessed firsthand the bitter fighting at Hue, no doubt voiced the sentiment of many Americans when he exclaimed, “What the hell is going on?—I thought we were winning the war.” On 27 Feb, after returning from Vietnam, Cronkite went on the air, and declared the war a stalemate, and called for the U.S. to negotiate its way out of the war.
In truth, the Tet Offensive, as it unfolded during the next weeks and months, turned out to be a disaster for the Communists, at least at the tactical level.”

I would also say, two million Cambodian deaths, as well.
Oh, I am 100% in that camp, I know enough about it to know the truth.
And I pin the deaths of many on him and his ilk.
