I measure him by today’s standard and he doesn’t seem half bad.

About all I can say is it’s too bad there wasn’t an internet and FR sooner.

A Cronkite was only possible in the three network days that gave news consumers very little choice. Thankfully, those days are over and there ways to respond to and counter the braying of his much diminished network anchor successors.

I'm sorry for Mr. Cronkite's family, as they've lost a loved one. I will not mourn his loss, however. I will not forget his duplicitous reporting during Vietnam. The way he framed his reports during early 1968, caused, I suspect, half of the Americans who listened to the news during that time to STILL believe that WE lost the Tet Offensive.

The constant negativity on the part of Cronkite and the other news readers convinced Americans that we could never win, and gave the 'peace activists' plenty of air time to manipulate public opinion. That left our military high and dry.
