The Terrible Truth About Walter Cronkite
Accuracy In Media ^ | July 20, 2009 | CLIFF KINCAID

Posted on 07/20/2009 6:58:23 AM PDT by AIM Freeper

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.

We found out after his retirement that he was not only a liberal, which was evident from his broadcasts, but a one-worlder. In appearances before the World Federalist Association, which favors world government financed by global taxes, he called for the U.S. to renounce "some of its sovereignty" and pass a series of United Nations treaties-many of which are now being pushed in the Senate by President Barack Obama. Cronkite called for an "international Liberty Bell."

He called for Senate ratification of the Treaty to Ban Land Mines, the Law of the Sea Treaty, the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Most important, he said, we should sign and ratify the Treaty for a Permanent International Criminal Court, which would violate U.S. constitutional rights by enabling foreign judges to prosecute American citizens and imprison them in foreign jails. Cronkite was determined to use the U.N. and its treaties to inhibit the ability of the U.S. to act in its own national security interests.

He never convinced me he was anything but a crankcase propagandist.

In our house it was “Huntley and Brinkley”. Not that I remember if they were any better, I was pretty young at the time, but I thought their intro and exit music was good.

And getting seriously ill doesn’t turn you into a saint either. You ought to hear with I have to say about Teddy Kennedy. Though I got scolded by some FR moron for daring to rejoice in the fact that GBM is going to end fat Teddy’s reign of socialism

Yeah, Walt proclaimed that our killing and capturing of 6/8ths of the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong while losing only 6,000 men (a crushing defeat for the communist)was a “devasting loss.”

What a dipshit.

Rot in Hell, Walt.
