Why I don’t mourn Walter Cronkite

I read the Wikipedia article on Cronkite. Talk about hijacked by the left. In a way, the article is a fitting tribute to Cronkite: withholding facts and editorializing while deceitfully maintaining a mask of objectivity. Unfortunately, if America's youth reads Wikipedia to learn about Cronkite, they will not be learning the truth about the man.

Wikipedia is a member of the MSM, neither more nor less. It is reliable, pretty much, where the subject matter has no political implications - say, an article about computers or such.

But you must always be alert for the possibility of political implications, and judge the reliability of the article accordingly. Just as with The New York Times.
