I too couldn't read the Cronkite book. It was so dense. I wish somebody would simplify it. It was dense and boring.

I too couldn't read the Cronkite book. It was so dense. I wish somebody would simplify it. It was dense and boring.

I haven't read it, but I won't let that stop me.

In the beginning there was the Word and the Word with with Murrow. Murrow spake unto Friendly and Friendly begat Cronkite and He saw that this was good. Wickness stirred in the Land and Cronkite smote sore the Evil that was stirring and the People rejoiceth for Civil Rights were upon them and Vietnam had forsaken them, all the days of their lives, amen.

The Wicked Ones, however festered. They plotted and schemed and found their chances. Their Leader, the Prince of Darkness was Reagan Incarnate. The People were deluded and they made Reagan Incarnate their leader and bowed down before him. Cronkite stirred to warn them, but in his years his power had faded, so he he handed the torch to a new, younger man, Kenneth and hoped that Kenneth could turn the People from their wickness.

But Kenneth was not up to the task and the Dark Night of Facism descended upon the Land. In the faculty lounges, editorial boards and CBS washrooms there was weeping and nashing of teeth. Kenneth spake in tongues, but the People heard him not for they knew not the frequency. Perdition and ruin are now the People's Lot.

Here endeth the reading.

If you really want to know how badly Walter Cronkite and field reporter Dan Rather hurt this country during the Vietnam War, I would suggest that you read General Giap's autobiography, entitled, "Great Victory Big Task". Giap says that the only hope he had against the Americans were the MSM and the anti-war protesters.
Hindsight really is 20/20. Just look at how the dominoes fell after we left that country.

The entire sorry crew at CBS is proof positive that the good die young. They are a veritable rat's nest of rotten, lying old men who think they matter. The irony is that their own lies and egos are what ultimately made them irrelevant.
