I remember that post.

That moment in 1968 was a defining one for Cronkite.

I watched the Vietnam special because I was interested in the Tet Offensive action as a child.

I watched Huntley and Brinkley every night, then later in the mid-70’s ABC with Reasoner and Smith.

Cronkite was horribly biased but a hardworking reporter who climbed over the competition to the “top.”

I will try to dig up the 1951 Washington TV Guide interview for some insight into Cronkite and post it sometime this weekend.
