This is the guy who was for 30 years sold to the American people as the "most credible man in America."
To: ALOHA RONNIE
Always worth mentioning that what Walter Cronkite concluded following Tet was Dead Wrong. The war was won militarily, the N Viets signed a peace treaty, and they launched an all aout tank assault in violation of that treaty only after Nixon resigned. The democrats in Congress then blocked any aid to S Vietnam.
For people like Cronkite to pretend the above didn't happen and that we "lost" an unwinnable war is criminal leftism.
BTW, cute little scene isn't it? Walt's boss just happened to ask him to drop his objectivity "this one time" and tell the whole nation a bunch of leftist hogwash. Think the boss would have wanted the opposite opinion aired?

Makes me glad that we didn't get a TV until I was in high school and then we couldn't get CBS.

Abandon all the Iraqi's who rised their lives to cooperate with the coalition troops, who risked their lives to vote.
To hell with them, they're not worth the effort.
Typical elitist leftist America hating drivel.

Cronkite frauded us for years because he had the podium.
Why would anyone in this day and age ever take him seriously?

"Was [Cronkite] a Red Diaper baby in drag?"
An excellent question. When I was in Vietnam I hated his f---ing guts even then. The North Vietnamese watched CBS, too, and got aid and comfort from it.
But as to your question: Ol' Crankcase was all gung-ho for the Allied side in WWII, but like many libs, only I repeat only because the glorious Soviet Union was our co-belligerent (the enemy of our enemy, but only after the Nazis doublecrossed them).
I'll betcha ol' Uncle Walter was lukewarm about our fighting communism in the Korean War.
To: wagglebee
Time for Cronkite to move to France...

Leahy recently bragged about being the final vote to end funding of the Viet Nam war.
Someday he will be answering for that horror.

He still wants to be popular at leftist cocktail parties in New York and LA. He wants the adulation of the younger generation of leftists.
