Yeah I was watching CBS 2 News here when Katie DNC Kiss ass Couric went on TV and said “She was sad to announce her long time friend had died”

I regret that I did not write to him and tell him how MUCH I resent his LYING when reporting on the Vietnam War. He impacted my thinking as a very young teenager and I regret that we did not have Fox News then to balance out the SHIT that he said....I NEVER ONCE KNEW that we won EVERY SINGLE BATTLE THERE. I only knew about failure and body bags.

I NOW know that WE the people CAUSED the deaths of millions in South Vietnam and Cambodia because of the FRIGGIN LIBERAL PRESS LYING to US about the WAR.

We could have won the war and brought FREEDOM to a wonderful people.

This man almost single-handedly lost the Vietnam War through a massive disinformation campaign to turn America’s victories into defeats (the Ted Offensive) and fabricate out of whole cloth Viet Cong victories that were used to demoralize the American public. He should be remembered as one of the great traitors of American history, right there along with Benedict Arnold.

My comment is that he was a miserable liberal who did his best
to hurt America. But he did try and hide it in the early years.

At least he didn't wait for Obama-care to kill him. Too bad he missed the mandatory end of life counseling sessions, though. The old lefty would have appreciated them.

He was complicit in my best friend being killed in Vietnam.

It’s impossible for me to feel sad.

RIP.

He did a good job on WWII. After that, well...Don't get me started on Tet 68 and SeeBS.

Walter Cronkite was at the top back when media had the respect of most Americans. Sad to say, those days are gone with him...

I don't even like Fox News now - it too has drifted far from its beginnings.

Now, I look only to the net for news - from a select few sources - this place being primary.

“What can I say?”

He knew 12 presidents, starting with Franklin D. Roosevelt, some quite well. He was speechless during the moon landing. Just about covers it, I guess.

RIP, Mr Cronkite. I was raised on your voice and your version of the news. I heard you when Kennedy died, and I’ve watched as you changed over the years.

Despite differences, rip Sir.

He is personally responsible for the death by drowning of at least 1/2 million Vietnamese people.

I'll forget about him in a sec.

Now Walter can interview Jackie Kennedy on the other side and say “well, except for that Mrs. Kennedy, how WAS the parade?”

Cronkite’s death means nothing to me. He was a demented and delusional leftist POS, but I hope that he found Christ before he checked out.

Just heard it on the radio. He was before my time, but it’s my understanding he was a big lib. Anyway, rest in peace.

Wikipedia is always fast. They already have it up.
