"Speaking of demagoguery, Liberal dinosaur Walter Cronkite, also fired back at the right-wing pajamahadeen; 'I cannot understand how the Internet should have gotten so entirely oblivious to the whole theory of libel and slander. How is it possible for these people to get on the air with any allegation they want to make, any statement they want to make as if it were true, as if they were journalists which they are clearly not? They are scandal mongers.' "

Cronkite, along with most of the liberal legacy media, erroneously think that "the press" is a special class of people. The press is the printing press; it is for everyone; the right to publish one's views and opinions should not be limited to these elitists.

The liberal legacy media also defends, at all costs, the myth of neutral journalism. Anyone who claims neutrality about things like the presidential election is either a liar, worthlessly apathetic, or brain dead.

These liars need to keep being exposed over and over for their fraud until no one pays them any attention.

Walter believes that a degree in journalism somehow sanitizes the stench created by the scandal mongers who read the news at CBS, ABC and NBC.
