It is wrong to speak ill of the dead. On the other hand, it is an insult to the intelligence of the American people to pretend that Walter Cronkite was the voice of God and universally credible, as Mara Liasson put it on Fox News Sunday. The terrible truth is that Walter Cronkite symbolized liberal media bias and used that bias with disastrous consequences for our nation and the world. His latest cause was world government and the destruction of American sovereignty.

Never understood the Cronkite adulation. A sonorous voice is only a sonorous voice. IMO Cronkite was downright dangerous.
I remember WC Crankwit intoning, “Those POOR kids. Those poor kids,” while those Kent State 8@$7@^9$ were chucking everything they could find at the cops. Sounds like Evergreen State. Piss on WC and the horse he rode in on. Journalist? Ha!
BWAHAHAhahahahahahahaha!!!
What a colossal load of horse$#!+!
No way that lying SOB actually believed that ... but he sure did an effective job of convincing others.
Ah yes, the alter ego of the Clint Howard alien on Star Trek. As explained, this puppet would scare people, but nobody would be scared by Clint Howard since he was a little boy then.
I see the resemblance to Hillary’s appearance when she wondered why she wasn’t 50 points ahead
He did more front line reporting in WWII than most other reporters. He flew in the gliders on DDay. His lglider crashed in some field and many on board were killed.
He may have had pink panties, he had brass balls.
I liked him, but I was young then.
Wow, worse than he seemed. He would have us ruled by the 57 muslim states and communists of the UN! He only mentions the enemies of the religious right!
Let’s hope it was senility, but I doubt it was.
Then he became a liar, a traitor, and a communist.
For a man so well traveled , he sure didn’t see the world.
Of course he only meet the “dilettantes” of each society he visited. Not the (Islamist) terrorist that are ruling whole countries.
These would have ‘Uncle Walers” head on a pike and dogs gnawing at his liver.
World Federalist organization, my ass.
Dan’s nutty “episodes” prevent that.
Dead leftist who tell lies ...
No. NOT wrong to speak THE TRUTH about such miscreants.
Just as today we should denounce the live ones.
Yes! but we had some rather poor generals.
Wow
Yup. I hated the SOB for his lying so called reporting then and has not changed. He was a hero to the same filthy anti war hippies that spit on me in the San Francisco airport-—rot in Hell Uncle Walter, America’s so called must trusted reporter.
He peaked at a time when television was holy. Americans revered newscasts and newscasters. We were gullible.
I agree. It’s just not as obvious. He never was photographed with the Viet Cong. ;-)
I think he did far more damage.
He turned public opinion around with regards to the Vietnam war, by reporting that we lost the TET offensive. That is how he inflicted his damage.
Yet we won. That was a serious travesty. If we’d had the internet then, the truth would have gotten out as it does today.
