So they’ve given up on old Uncle Joe (& Kamala). Preparing the way for Gavin Newsome, no doubt.
They’re not fooling anybody. Just like Cronkite, EVERYBODY at CBS will vote for the Democrat in November.
Well, I wonder if one should also consider the contrast between what the American public generally thought of CBS and other “mainstream” media outlets back in 1968 and today’s not particularly pleasant regard of them.
“Biden, for his part, may, like Johnson, come to the conclusion that if he’s lost CBS, he has indeed lost America.“
Biden never had America - the 2020 election was stolen.
There must be more than poop in the demented dictator’s diaper for the DNC stenographers at C-BS to give up on him.
CBS doesn’t have that kind of clout today. However, it’s promising.
Joe has served his purpose but does not want to leave for the next Obama puppet so it’s the hard way Joe..... but you’re leaving!
…and that’s the way it is.
The Tet Offensive was a major loss for the Viet Cong and basically ended them. But this report by Cronkite made America feel we were losing and started the withdrawal. Victory was torn out of our hands by the fecklessness of the media.
Their fear of Trump has forced their hand.
In 1968 Vietnam was attacked by the North Vietnamese communists in the Tet offensive. The North Vietnamese attacked the South in the winter of 1968 and suffered heavy losses. The communists lost 48,000 men, America lost 249 men and the South Vietnam lost 500 men.
It was an overwhelming blow to the communists. They were defeated.
Walter Cronkite spent one and a half hours talking to General Frederick Weyand, then the man in charge of the forces in the South of Vietnam around Saigon. Walter Cronkite said:
“Well you’ve got a fine story. But I’m not going to use any of it because I’ve been up to Hue. I’ve seen the thousands of bodies up there in mass graves and I’m determined to do all in my power to bring this war to an end as soon as possible.”
In 1968 there was no CNN or FOX News, we had three network stations, CBS, NBC and ABC. There was no internet and the newspapers had a comment section that was filtered.
Walter Cronkite goes back to the states and releases this comment:
“It seems now more certain than ever,” Walter Cronkite told his audience in a de facto editorial, “that the bloody experience of Vietnam is a stalemate” and that the war was “unwinnable.” Cronkite’s statement and call for U.S. withdrawal helped turn public opinion against the war. It also demoralized American troops and Democratic President Lyndon Johnson, who was said to have declared that losing Cronkite’s support meant he had lost the backing of Middle America.
When Republican President Richard Nixon refused to withdraw U.S. forces from Vietnam, the Democrats used the Watergate scandal to topple his presidency. Cronkite played a key role in the political process that ousted Nixon — chiefly by broadcasting a news story every night on the CBS Evening News under the banner “Watergate.” At the time, Cronkite insisted that he was non-partisan, objective and fair. After his retirement, however, he acknowledged his liberal political views.
After Walter Cronkite retired he pushed for a one world government ruled by the United Nations where America would give up its veto powers.
He said that there had to be some middle ground between capitalism and communism.” “[T]he first priority of the new order,” he added, “must be a revision of the [American] educational system to … guarantee that each of our citizens will have equal resources to share in the decisions of the democracy, and a fair share of the economic pie.”
There will be a joint meeting between Newsom staff, representatives of the media, several DOJ members, several intelligence agency members, and Jill.
They will tell her: Biden steps down and all this goes away. When Newsom wins, he’ll pull back the DOJ and issue pardons if necessary. If Trump wins, it’ll be effectively the same without maybe a pardon, but the DOJ will not pursue, making the pardon unnecessary.
If Trump wouldn’t go after Hillary, he’s certainly not going to chase Biden.
Get ready for President Newsom…
Cronkite ..the forefather of one side news politics.
"Will any of the many criminals in government be prosecuted and sent to prison - those found guilty of treason, hung?"
Still waiting!
It would be sooooh refreshing to have an administration that aggressively puts corrupt and criminal government, news and corporate persons in prison.
I believe someone like Mike Davis (A3P Project), would clean house as an AG under Trump. Let it be!
Maybe this is the first break in the dam. All I want is some straight up reporting of the news.
cronkite was lying about tet
< snip >
CBS’s coverage of the story signals the liberal media’s willful ignorance of the president’s corruption scandals could be coming to an end. That’s bad news for Biden, who has relied on the silence of the media to hide the growing mound of evidence pointing to his involvement in Hunter’s schemes.

I've been waiting to see who in the MSM binez would break ranks first.
I figured it would be CBS that smelled blood in the water, when they hired investigative reporter, catherine herridge.
although her name is not on this by-line. I have considered her the canary in the coal mine
standing by for more breaking news
Its the latter. Some important somebodies in the Democrat Party must have concluded that Biden is a losing ticket in 2024 and are trying now to force him out. Otherwise there is simply no way the Democrats’ propaganda arm would ever give any airtime to the heaps of evidence of Biden’s corruption. When it was in the Democrat Party’s interest they not only didn’t cover it, they actively denied it and got their Big Tech allies to actively censor it.
These people have no commitment to the truth. None. Their only commitment is to the Democrat Party obtaining and holding onto power.
I was embarrassed when Walter Crankcase went over to the VC and North Vietnamese side.
