Excellent, EXCELLENT piece, nathanbedford.

BRAVO. I got it exactly, and feel the same way.

[Mamzelle]

Excellent.

This should get wider readership. I suggest you offer this to American Thinker and Newsbusters.

Walter Cronkite lied to the American people for 25 years. He hurt us during the Vietnam war, and encouraged other news anchors to join him. In the early 90’s he was pulled off the air by saying”That f’n Reagan”. CBS cut to a commercial and when they returned he was gone. This is how I will remember that(sneaky) traitorous venomous SOB.

What an appropriate first name. The same as Walter Duranty and just as reliable and accurate in his reporting. If he had held on for a few more hours, he could have made it to the 40th anniversary of Chappaquiddick.

Excellent article!

Great post. I’m 43. Your memories of Cronkite took me back to the same America you describe. I can’t imagine Cronkite ever saying he got a thrill up his leg. It would have been unseemly. Look at how far this nation has been steered away from it’s foundation.

Over 50 bump.

Thanks Nathan. I remember Cronkite well. He was good at what he did, and as a Vietnam veteran I’ll never forgive him for it.

Bump.
Gotta read later.
Bump.

[smokingfrog]

Well stated.

~~Excellent ! You're a wonderful writer. Keep it up. BUMP!!

It is harsh to say that, finally, Walter Cronkite was a deceiver, but it is the truth.

Good analysis, and good summary.

Nathan. Thanks for writing this excellent piece and posting it on FR. You’re right, the liberal kiddies who never knew Cronkite will be whining and crying about some of the posts here about Cronkite. This pre-emptive strike is a good idea. Maybe they will spend a little time between all of their childish huffin’ and puffin’ to read this article and see where many of the posters are coming from. Most of them don’t believe that war exists so they wouldn’t understand where most Vietnam vets are coming from.

Well done!

[nicksaunt]

Beautifully written. Thank you for your analysis.

"It is harsh to say that, finally, Walter Cronkite was a deceiver, but it is the truth. It is necessary for the next-generation to know this history."

Well said indeed! But it won't be long until the liberal apologist will start attacking anyone who dares to say such as this.

They simply can't allow the deception to be exposed.

Interesting piece.

Cronkite wasn’t revered at our house.

Earlier reporting on Senator Joseph McCarthy, etc., helped shape the opinion of my parents about Edward R. Murrow and CBS, I think. They hadn’t changed their minds by the time Cronkite came along. The years seem to have born out the accuracy of their opinion.

Condolences to his family...
However, Walter Commie or Uncle Commie was the one who almost single handily stoked up the antiwar sentiment here in the homeland and caused us to lose the war in Vietnam.
My respects go to the war veterans instead ... we don't owe any respects to any MSM people, or Hollywood, we don't need them to live our lives ...
There is something insidious about the subtle way Uncle Commie betrayed us and in a sneaky way used his " Uncle Walter " facade to fool the sheeple.
The commies in America knew what they were doing in grooming Uncle Walter to do their dirty deed in fooling America...
About his Fu*** Reagan comment live on TV ... well, it really shows his true face... just like Authur Godfrey getting ...
