Oh yeah, Cronkite has outed himself as a big time lib. I’m referring more to his straight-shooter reputation.
He's never been a straight-shooter, even when he was doing those nightly anti-American anti-war rants of his during the Vietnam War. He "reported" that the war had been lost and that our guys were murderers and killers of innocent men, women and children. He held a nation hostage to his left-winged diatribes on a nightly basis because he was all there was for television news when he was anchoring the CBS Evening News.
