Whatever you think of the newscasters at the time, THAT was a good and straight newscast the way it should be done.
I agree. It was a straight just the facts please, relatively balanced (certainly by today’s standards) news broadcast.
“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.
