If Cronkite and his boys had told the truth about Tet 68, the war in Vietnam would have had a very different ending.

So speak to me not of this newsman's great legacy - it lays buried under a mountain of skulls in South East Asia.

That was well said. Cronkite gets no professional respect from me. He was a guy who happened to be in the right place at the right time. What he did took about as much skill and discipline as the monkeys they sent up in the space capsules prior to the Apollo missions.

One wonders what reception Uncle Walty got in the other side judgment room by those he helped send earlier...you think he was surprised?

Well, the Viet Cong never took over. The Tet Offensive eliminated them as an effective fighting force. I've even seen speculation that the North Vietnamese government deliberately back-stabbed the Viet Cong to remove them from the picture.

The South was conquered by the NVA in conventional set piece battles pitting the lavishly supplied NVA against the ill-supported (thanks to the Dems) ARVN. It's funny the MSM likes to conveniently neglect that particular factoid and portray the reds as underdogs.

I was there and we did lose some guys, but they went all out and lost a lot more. General Giap(spelling?) who controlled the North Vietnamese wrote in his recent book that they were considering a surrender or truce until they read the American press and they held out.

So Cronkite was a lefty. No surprise to me on this. I remember Cronkite on the CBS News Evening. He had a kind looking face and a very folksy demeanor. It was easy to trust him. I was just a kid when he reported on the Tet Offensive. I wasn't political at all.

I do remember him from the space launches. He kept saying the Apollo program was a great Scientific Achievement. Many Engineers I know wrote to Cronkite trying to correct him. What the Apollo program was, was a great Engineering achievement. We didn't learn much scientifically from Apollo. Cronkite never corrected himself. I can only speculate he thought he was above it all.

Great column. History will eventually record this guy for the traitorous tool he was.

[Gurn]

Good riddance to a leftist piece of garbage.

[caver]

The media lovefest for Cronkite over the weekend was most nauseating.

I am proud to say our family never liked or trusted Walter Kronkite. He will pay the price for what he did and may be already. Thank you for printing the truth about him.

After the series “the Twentieth Century” was over in 1969, after a season’s pause, Walter narrated another new TV series “The Twenty First Century.” This series largely chronicled the promise of new technologies, but also advocated for a Malthuslian future, a world of overpopulation. The popular imagination was stoked with bestsellers like “the Population Bomb” which foretold of a future of dire overcrowding and dwindling resources.
I distinctly remember as a child hearing Walter pronounce in a fearful baritone, how the world population would double by the year 2000, and that there would be standing room only.

Add to this apocalyptic mentality, the threat of nuclear war.

Walter, I mourn your passing, but you could not have been more wrong on this account. Here we are in the year 2009, and the largest increase in population in the US is from illegal immigration, a cause which you and your liberal buddies champion, even with this influx, there is still plenty of elbow room.

This fear of over-population was a seminal argument for the abortion advocates. The population bomb was a falsehood of negative thinking.

To my knowledge, Walter Cronkite supported the abortion slaughter. Walter, the blood-guilt of 42 million innocent babies is upon your legacy.
