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.

It is appalling to read, isn’t it? And then you realize how influential this man was, the list of important and powerful people whose ears he had.
The beginning of the real degradation and corrosion of America coincided roughly with the advent of Walter Cronkite. It was the sixties radicals, who reared their heads, largely took over American political and cultural structures in the Seventies through the Nineties, culminating with the election of Barack Obama.
A known affiliate of terrorists and racists who, in years past, would have never been allowed anywhere near the levers of power, but the takeover of the Democratic Party by Sixties Radicals, supported by people like Walter Cronkite, made it happen.
That is damned bleak.
All I could think was: No...it is not. We ill of dead people all the time of dead people who deserve it.
What Leftists would say (if you could give them truth serum) is that it is wrong to speak ill of Walter Cronkite, who just happens to be dead.
We can speak ill of him, because he deserves it. People like Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and nearly the entire Democrat Party exist in the form they do because of him.
Yes, he deserves it.

I really don't know how any thinking American cannot see how corrupt and self serving the United Nations actually is. Was Cronkite a communist sympathizer? Always this way, or did he get more so in his later years? His pro UN speech was so shallow.
When I read the Wikipedia article on Walter Cronkite, there is no indication of the items brought up in the "Accuracy in Media" article. I am really thankful for Accuracy in Media!
The only one that spit on me in the SF airport wound up in the emergency room.
The SF police back then just took a report from me and told me to enjoy my leave.
Never heard any more about it.
