He almost made it to the 40th anniversary of Chappaquiddick.
I agree with her 100% and thank her for telling it like it was.
Tell it Debbie!
Walter Cronkite is another one who had better have a VERY good drainage system around his grave site as there are millions of Viet Nam vests who are waiting patiently to water the flora an fauna in that immediate vicinity!
Goodbye to him and goodbye to types like him controlling what we hear.
Now watch in about six months it comes out that he was a deep cover commie working for the NKVD during WW2 and later the KGB.Would anybody be surprised?
Deb is telling it like it is.
Burn the paint off’em Deb.
Excellent post. The old man sailed with the Clintons and pimped for the world’s communists and dictators. Goodbye.
She’s right about Cronkite; wrong about Palin.
In December 1972, Ronald Reagan called President Richard Nixon after watching Walter Cronkite's coverage of the Vietnam War on "CBS News," telling Nixon that "under World War II circumstances, the network would have been charged with treason."
Jane Fonda.......Walter Cronkite......both opposed the Viet Nam war....and many brave young men died as a result of their efforts. No RIP for you, Walter......you do not deserve it!!!!!
Not entirely. The VC and NVA were defeated militarily at a much greater cost of lives than was necessary in part because of traitors like Uncle Walter. Nevertheless, they were defeated. In fact, the VC ceased to exist as a fighting force after TET. But the collapse of South Vietnam and its army occurred after American troops were gone because of the traitor liberals that controlled the government after the 1974 Congressional elections (Watergate and all that).
Thank you, ma’am for telling like it was.
It is beyond belief how America worships its traitors and Communist fellow travelers. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that good ole Walter was a KGB mole. But it really doesn’t matter...
I will remember him for being a ‘journalist’ but I will likewise remember him for his liberalism, bias, and use of yellow journalism...
Probably has a big fanbase with the Khmer Rouge though.
Still doesn’t explain why he was so believed particularly about the Tet battle. Why didn’t Mr. and Mrs. America tell him to get lost?
Go to YouTube and watch the FULL video of Walter on the day of JFK’s assassination. He is putting his own opinion out there that it was probably the work of right wingers! How come most people never see this footage? We only see him taking his glasses off to shed a tear. Go back and watch from the beginning and you’ll see a clearer picture of Walter’s politics. It was there if you had the eyes to see.
How they had egg on their faces when it turned out to be a commie who killed him.
Walter Cronkite, Vietnam, and the Decline of Media Credibility
Who won and who lost in the great Tet offensive against the cities? Im not sure. The Vietcong did not win by a knockout, but neither did we. The referees of history may make it a draw.
It seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate.
But it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could. (Emphases added)
We paid a high price, but so did you not only in lives and material After Tet the Americans had to back down and come to the negotiating table, because the war was not only moving into dozens of cities and towns in South Vietnam, but also to the living rooms of Americans back home for some time. The most important result of the Tet offensive was it made you de-escalate the bombing, and it brought you to the negotiation table. It was, therefore, a victory The war was fought on many fronts. At that time the most important one was American public opinion. (The Vietnam War: An Encyclopedia of Quotations, Howard Langer, 2005)
On April 30, 1977, Pol Pots troops launched a surprise attack on 13 villages in eight Vietnamese border provinces. Ba Chuc was the hardest hit. The massacre was at its fiercest during the 12 days of occupation, April 18-30, 1978, during which the intruders killed 3,157 villagers. The survivors fled and took refuge in the pagodas of Tam Buu and Phi Lai or in caves on Mount Tuong, but they were soon discovered. The raiders shot them, slit their throats or beat them to death with sticks. Babies were flung into the air and pierced with bayonets. Women were raped and left to die with stakes planted in their genitals.
