...the need for high-quality reporting is greater than ever,' [Uncle Walter] told journalism students and professionals at Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism.

Beg to differ, Walter. The need for truthful reporting is greater than ever. And if anybody needs to learn that, it would the "journalism students" and "professionals" at Columbia's Graduate School of "Journalism".

Walter Cronkite: The Jimmy Carter of his day.

I was in Hue City in 1968 when Cronkite flew up there from Saigon, after the Tet Offensive had cooled down, to announce the U.S. was losing the war. LBJ knew Tet was a great turning point against North Vietnam, and the Viet Cong was all but obliterated, but Cronkite and his ilk controlled reality.

NEVER FORGET


In the Year 2000...

WALTER CRONKITE went to a London World Conference to publically call for America's 11 Southern States to...

...SECEDE FROM OUR UNION.


For...
...the Enemy is now Within
...and always has been.


NEVER FORGET

'It's not just the journalist's job at risk here. It's American democracy. It is freedom.'.... And as broadcasters cut budgets and air time for news, he said, 'we're all left with a sound bite culture that turns political campaigns into political theater.'.... 'Consolidation and cost cutting may be good for the bottom line in the short term but that isn't necessarily good for the country or the health of the news business in the long term,' he said.

Wow. It's like this guy never heard of 24-hour cable news, talk radio, the internet.....
Back in Walter's day, his network would have gotten clean away with using forged documents to try to fix a Presidential election.
