Walter Cronkite visited VietNam around the time of the '68 Tet offensive, one of the most decisive victories for the American and So V'Namese military. Cronkite went on TV and told the American people that Nam was "unwinnable" and he and the rest of the American press turned this victory into a loss. Think that could happen today

It cannot because today's Cronkites have been doing their damndest to execute that exact plan. They may have brought down public opinion some but fully 35% of the public is aware of their treachery. They can try all they want but they can't succeed unless the internet starts getting regulated.

I don't take much solace in this. The "35%" is essentially the same number who are solid conservatives. This is nothing more than the traditional political split in this country. That being approximately 1/3 Conservative, 1/3 DemocRAT, and 1/3 swing voters with their heads up their A$$.

Things have changed with the Internet, but not really. Those who don't want to believe will not despite the facts being beamed at them at the speed of light.
