Walter Cronkite created Fox News.

The American Spectator ^ | 7/28/2006 | Jeffrey Lord

[aceintx]

"Oh, my lord, Jeffrey--what is it with you people? What Cronkite did regarding Vietnam (and other issues) is inform the American people that what he was observing and reporting on was at variance with statements made repeatedly by the American government. He pointed out the mischaracterizations and lies of both democratic and republican administrations. The significance of this? Commercial television news had never before aggressively contradicted official versions of events in such a way as to galvanize the attention of the public. Today's TV news is only marginally better in holding the Bush administration's feet to the fire regarding its outrageous falsehoods about Iraq (not to mention other issue areas). Shame on you for the adolescence you (and 'The Spectator') flaunt as conservatism." You have some valid points Woodmack and had Uncle joe...er...Walter come out and said that what he was doing is editorializing not just presenting the facts...that he was presenting one set of facts while burying any facts that stood in the way of his opposition to the war and to what our government was doing...What made him wrong...and what infuriates me about the present frauds in the media today is that they instist that they are being objective and presenting both sides of the argument equally!!!
It's a lie...and those that say it are liars...as was Uncle Joe...er...Walter.

If you doubt his leftist bent....just go to the liberal Huffington Post and read his rants when he's there! By the way...your rant identifies you as a defeat and retreat whiner in the WOT who wouldn't know a left wing news anchor if he jumped up and bit him!

You must not have read the rest of the article. The "long and distinguished" part was clearly tongue in cheek.

[Lee'sGhost]

I've been preaching that for years now. So few get it. Some Freepers are SO disappointed when a more liberal reporter appears on FOX. As long as they keep trying to present balance I'll be tickled pink. That's a thousand times better than the way it used to be.

[Tokra]

This pretty well says it all:

[EyeGuy]

"You must not have read the rest of the article. The "long and distinguished" part was clearly tongue in cheek."


Oh, but I did.

---

I read it as "long and distinguished".........

BUT

THEN, the FOX point was made.

---

My take is that the inital descriptors were a wimpy attempt to soften the blow.

There was also this:


"Is Walter Cronkite a man who deserves to be honored for his contributions to American life? Absolutely."

My take is that the inital descriptors were a wimpy attempt to soften the blow.

[MBB1984]

No it certainly did not give any hint of Cronkite's left wing, anti-American bias. In the parts that I viewed, negative views (i.e. the real truth) was completely omitted. The piece was only a series of congratulatory statements and interviews of Cronkite's achievements (i.e. "saying it like it was" by the "most trusted man in America.")

It was clearly a blatant propaganda piece of leftist drivel. And, I indeed paid for part of it.

[Dane]

I watched the documentary on Wlater Cronkite and as the writer basically said it would make Monica blush at the sycophancy of the program.

And guess who got his mug put on in the documentary, John McCain.

The guy is shameless in his bee line to the liberal media cameras.

[edzo4]

I think liberals have to lie because if they give honest info and present the truth the only ones that would still be democrats are the moonbats.

I am completely confident in allowing the liberal and conservative view to be presented
because when that happens the liberals don't stand a chance

[Piranha]

Look upon thy works, Uncle Walter, and despair!

[aceintx]

"And guess who got his mug put on in the documentary, John McCain."

I watched as much of it as I could stomach but missed the McGoo...er....McCain part....I can't say I'm surprised the McGoo..er....McCain was in front of the National People's Broadcasting cameras....I assume he was gushing in his praise for Uncle Joe...er...Uncle Walter?

He was at the vwry end, and I don't blame you for not watching the whole thing, katie couric's narration makes nails on the blackboard sound soothing.

Al Gore and Walt Cronkite are brothers, like no others,
and truly deserve each other....Jake

NEVER FORGET


..'Anti-Freedom for All'.. WALTER CRONKITE's nightly misreporting of our fight for Freedom for a then Free South Vietnam long ago...

...brought for all of us to sadly see in the end:



Pictures of a vietnamese Re-Education Camp

http://www.Freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1308949/posts



Years later, at a London World Conference in the year 2000, WALTER CRONKITE publically called for our 11 Southern States to SECEDE from our country's precious Union..!!


Kinda shows you where he's always been coming from..?


For...

...the Enemy is now within,

...and always has been.


And now WALTER CRONKITE is Election year 2008 Presidential Candidate HILLARY's No. 1 TV defensive linebacker..?

And they want back inside our Oval Office in the WORST of ways.


The very WORST.

Excellent!

FOX has actually, even kinda re-tooled Geraldo Rivera so ya' don't feel like kicking his ass every time ya' see him.

Amazing!

We just LOVE your happy CLINTON family photo portrait that WALTER CRONKITE helped them stage on his boat at Martha's Vineyard, at their instructions, for the country's benefit during CLINTON's Impeachment saga.

A family photo event staged to show family unity just a couple of days after President CLINTON's TV confession about MONICA at the White House.

A photo that http://www.Newsmax.com was able to re-produce and promote later on, in national TV appearances, to counter HILLARY's 'Living History' book lie telling us that after that same MONICA confession no one in the CLINTON family would come close to BILL for months ..except his good dog Buddy.

Pictures speak louder than words, it seems..?


A flagrant book lie that was nailed so well with this photo that it had caught HILLARY napping. She then felt compelled to make excuses for this same Sailboat Family photo in appearances on TV interview shows like CBS' 'The DAVID LETTERMAN Show.' HILLARY even went so far as to bring this photo up twice during her interview with DAVE, saying that this whole thing was WALTER CRONKITE's idea ..not hers ..when it was all hers..!!

A photo contradiction that was first caught by this particular Freeper in his call into Newsmax.com Columnist CARL LIMBACHER as he was guesting on'The Judicial Watch Talk Radio Show.'

CARL then promised to locate this photo and post it on Newsmax.com as soon as he could. This was done in a matter of hours. And the rest is REAL History, thanks to CARL.

GOD Bless the Internet and Talk Radio/TV.
