I served in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. Cronkite got it wrong, which was the first clear indication of how biased and unfair the MSM was. Ever since, the MSM believes that they can steer events and shape national policy. Cronkite was not a journalist, but rather, a partisan hack.

Now, as has been often the case, we must suffer through the lionization of another TV celebrity "journalist" as part of the self-serving efforts of the MSM to elevate their own. Cronkite was a legend in his own mind. I do find it amusing that Katie Couric is currently filling the Cronkite chair.

Good riddance to the lying SOB!! I hope he is turning a nice crispy black in h%ll as I type this!!

He is single-handedly responsible for the deaths of THOUSANDS of young men, both American and Vietnamese, PLUS the deaths of innocent Vietnamese civilians who were unfortunately caught in the cross-fire.

I hope his sorry carcass rots for the next thousand years and he has to live with the stench of his own body.

“Most trusted man in America”!!?? I spit on his lies and only regret that I’ll never get the chance to dance on his grave!!

BFD, as far as I’m concerned. May God have merct on his poor deceived soul (and of those others he misled with his slanted views of reality).

Prayers to the families of all the Marines and soldiers who died needlessly in Vietnam after sick Soviet dupe Cronkite declared the war a lost cause and made sure to tell his American audience exactly that every night.
