In the old days a Walter Cronkite might well have had the same ideological bent as a Dan Rather but Cronkite's respect for his profession kept him from being an out and out liar.

I disagree. Cronkite was an out and out LIAR, but there was no alternative media (internet blogs and Fox news, Rush Limbaugh) to call him on it!

You are correct. -- Mr. Crankcase's lies about the Vietnam war are legion. He was the first with 'we lost after Tet'.

What else he lied about, I didn't care, never watched his stupid show.

The Internet is what is actually driving the moonbats crazy -- it removes their inability to put out the lie and then have old media paper over it as true. The Internet is the liberals/media party's biggest nightmare.
