Crankcase was nothing more than a very good propagandist, but a lying propagandist nonetheless.

Not surprised that the media is fawning, esp after the spectacle after Michael Jackson’s death.

It is wrong to speak ill of the dead

WHY? Their death does not change the facts of their life. If they were lying liberal propagandists in life, they don't suddenly become truthful upon assuming room temperature.

Yes it is wrong to speak ill of the dead but the man was an anti-American left wing liberal and there is no debate about this fact. He was one of the important reasons why we were forced to lose the Vietnam war and the horrible human catastrophes that followed in South East Asia. We lost the Vietnam war not in the jungle of Vietnam but on the evening news broadcast by Walter Cronkite and the front pages of the New York Times.

We really need to move beyond this taboo. If something that someone who is dead did in life was indeed bad, there should be nothing wrong with speaking it, even if such speech is derisive and caustic.

The CBS special last night on Uncle Walter was so warm and fuzzy I got hives.

Not true.

And Conkrite.

People like Mara Liasson who honor Cronkite as a great American either refuse to take a good look, or they are also one worlders--which I believe many of the media are.

What infuriates me is that these overpaid, over celebrated, over rated media and Hollywood types that hate what the US is and want us to be like Europe and other countries, would NEVER have risen to where they are if under a one world govt. They have enjoyed EVERY success that our sovereignty avails them and haven't enough brain power to understand.

considering that he had a high level security clearance and was briefed on every aspect of the war in Vietnam, he was highly qaulified to proclaim to the American people that the war was unwinnable. (sarcasm, of course).
Look what happens when you give the media voice where they have no place.

You’ve heard of the separation of Church and State, well there used to be the separation of Reporting and Opinion. Walter Concrete was one of the first to blur that separation, much to the detriment of modern news “reporting”.

Cronkite used the “trust me, don't I look like your father/grandfather” ploy to fool most of us for his entire career.
He tried to join a genealogical society in New York back in the 60’s and could not prove his descent from the colonist he claimed. The society did not care about his celebrity status, just that he prove himself eligible. Cronkite could not. Good bye Walter, you fake!

Walter Cronkite is dead. I wish he’d died long ago. I won’t miss him. May God have mercy on his stained, diseased soul.

Anyone have a handy link to all Cronkite’s communist associations and entanglements? I think this article only touches on his involvement with American/Foreign subversives.

After cutting and running from SE Asia...Cronkite was instrumental in not reporting the slaughter the communists engaged in...something like 2 million died...in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

If the MSM doesn’t report it, it must not be news.
