I heard this today.

Rush is the best in the business.

All we had in the day was Paul Harvey, Chet Huntley and William F Buckley jr

I grew up 35 mi from Kent State.

I will never forgive the media lies and Cronkites body counts.

Concerning the part about Cronkite, it really is disturbing in a way to think that it was just so easy for him and Dan Rather to do hit pieces on Nixon and Agnew at about this time in 1973 or 1974 (until both men were forced out of office) night after night and face very little or no challenge or questions regarding all of that.

This has nothing to do with Koppel or Rush Limbaugh.

My Father was President of a Genealogical Society that Walter Cronkite had applied to for membership. It turned out that Cronkite could not qualify because he was unable to prove his ancestry. Well, Walter was not a happy camper and my dad had to tell him that his fame as a TV personality did not qualify him either. So much for Walter Cronkite. (grin)

But I must add....his slathering all over John Glenn and his wife during the Space Program days was atrocious. Those liberal pukes stuck together like sticky rice! Glenn proved himself during the Clinton debacle and was rewarded with his last space ride. Boy, that pissed me off!

Walter was unmasked for me when he lied and said the Tet Offensive was a US and South Vietnamese defeat, when the opposite was true.

Actually, Allen Drury had the media's number when he invented the characters of Walter Dobius and Frankly Unctuous, both left-leaning newsmen with insufferable egos.

Koppel: New York Times, Washington Post ‘decided as organizations’ that Trump is bad for United States

Rush:The reason Cronkite was perceived to be in the middle is because back then there wasn’t any conservative media. Cronkite was an uber-leftist, but never had to say so. He could do it with a raised eyebrow; he could do it with the news subjects he chose to cover and not cover. You know, we all know now that Cronkite was prototypical liberal, as is all of the media.

If Cronkite had covered the Election Night of Trump's victory, I can see him making the announcement as he slowly removes his glasses and chokes back a tear a la his JFK-death bulletin.

Here's Walter out giving his buddies a boat ride back in the day.
