Bob Schieffer is retiring- thankfully. At one time he was a good newsman but as he got older he succumbed to Cronkitis. Cronikitis is an affliction that creates the sense of omnificence in the liberal media. They think they know it all and abandon journalistic ethics and begin to lecture the country. Cronkite is widely credited with turning the US against the Vietnam war and squandering a victory.
North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap:
Do not forget the war was brought into the living rooms of the American people. ... The most important result of the Tet offensive was it made you de-escalate the bombing, and it brought you to the negotiation table. It was, therefore, a victory....That marked the death of the real news. From then on, it was opinion.The war was fought on many fronts. At that time the most important one was American public opinion.
Schieffer, as did Walter, came to think he knew it all and it too was all liberal. In 2008 Schieffer came to believe that Barack Obama should be President of the United States. Schieffer was awestruck by Barack Obama. He turned into a one of those little girls we saw watching the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. And he has more or less admitted it.
Schieffer argued that the whole political world was struck by this fella who sort of came out of nowhere with this very unusual name and when he won out in Iowa, I think people sat up and took notice.When he says "people sat up and took notice" he means "I sat up and was in awe."
Schieffer's starry eyed romantic bias has been painfully obvious:
2. An obvious example of Schieffers partisanship was the question he asked about whether either candidate could balance the budget in four years. When McCain stated succinctly, I will balance our budgets and I will get them and I will Schieffer blurted out unbelievingly, In four years?Schieffer was quick to whip out the race card to defend Obama:Then, when McCain finished, Schieffer turned to Obama and asked, Barack? Not Senator Obama, but Barack. To cap it off, Obama never answered the question.
Donald Trump has moved on from the "birther" conspiracy to allege President Barack Obama didn't get good enough grades to warrant entry to Harvard Law School, an assertion that CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer called absurd on the "CBS Evening News" on Wednesday.Thing is, Obama has admitted being the beneficiary of Affirmative Action."That's just code for saying he got into law school because he's black. This is an ugly strain of racism that's running through this whole thing. We can hope that kind of comes to an end too, but we'll have to see," Schieffer said.
I must say, however, that as someone who has undoubtedly benefited from affirmative action programs during my academic career, and as someone who may have benefited from the Law Reviews affirmative action policy when I was selected to join the Review last year, I have not felt stigmatized within the broader law school community or as a staff member of the Review.Not once did Schieffer ever ask Obama about releasing his school records so the matter to could be put to rest.
Schieffer often kept his eyes closed when race was involved and it could possibly affect Obama negatively.
Bob Schieffer is the poster boy for the left wing press. And for Kardashianation. The news media has been slowly degrading over time. The line between the CBS Evening News and Entertainment Tonight is increasingly blurred. This morning the Today Show spent a long time gushing over Kim Kardashian's second baby, as if it was a national holiday.
Kardashianation gave us President Barack Obama.

And Kardastination is a product of communist take over of education and media.
Kardashian was O. J. Simpson’s friend and attorney. He knew O. J. did it and helped him cover it up.
