Legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite allegedly collaborated with anti-Vietnam War activists in the 1960s, going so far as to offer advice on how to raise the public profile of protests and even pledging CBS News resources to help pull off events, according to FBI documents obtained by Yahoo! News.

No surprise. Cronkite was the greatest fraud in media history. American patriots slept a bit easier the night after this pig assumed room temperature.

I don't know how painful it was, but he croaked last summer--not a moment too soon.

Uncle Gasbag sold out the troops?
He was just another Democratic aparatchnik, so this shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.
And the cut the legs out of under our men fighting in a war ginned-up by two Democrats.
To: RaceBannon
It’s no surprise that Comrade Cronkite would do such a thing.

Sad thing is many of us are old enough to know how revered he was........
Todays youth don’t realize they are being equally lead down a slippery slope by the MSM.
MR Hope & Change is their living proof.
Hopefully they see the truth, or have it revealed a lot quicker than this news took.
To: RaceBannon
The enemy within, his disciples continue their war against the USA today.
The question is what to do about it.

From Wikipedia:
William Ramsey Clark (born December 18, 1927) is an American lawyer and former United States Attorney General. He worked for the U.S. Department of Justice, which included service as United States Attorney General from 1967 to 1969, under President Lyndon B. Johnson. Decades later, he was a defense attorney for Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein
He continues to undermine the USA!

Cronkite wasn't the only reporter who was biased, with the possible exception of Galloway, they all were. Take Phillip Caputo for example, he was a platoon leader with the 9th Marines, in the earlies, he turned hard left as a reporter.
As an aside a buddy of mine was in his platton and he couldn't say enough bad things about the guy, he (Caputo) had problems but I forget the details.

I hated this commie turd ever since Tet in ‘68. That was one reason why I enlisted in the Corps in ‘69.
I think that it astonishing that only now are others beginning to understand just what a traitor he was.

I would be happy to join in that venture! Especially after the way he tried to wrap himself in the Flag during his presidential campaign! Thank the Lord for the Swift Boat Veterans who wouldn't let him get away with it!

I was a kid when Cronkite was the “most trusted man in America”. Were the other network anchors just as bad? The only other guy I remember from childhood was Roger Mudd. I also remember my dad watching Paul Harvey’s editorials.
