Excellent, EXCELLENT piece, nathanbedford.

BRAVO. I got it exactly, and feel the same way.

[Mamzelle]

Excellent.

This should get wider readership. I suggest you offer this to American Thinker and Newsbusters.

Walter Cronkite lied to the American people for 25 years. He hurt us during the Vietnam war, and encouraged other news anchors to join him. In the early 90’s he was pulled off the air by saying”That f’n Reagan”. CBS cut to a commercial and when they returned he was gone. This is how I will remember that(sneaky) traitorous venomous SOB.

“We had men over there dieing and he sympathized with those killing them. He was a POS.”

What an appropriate first name. The same as Walter Duranty and just as reliable and accurate in his reporting. If he had held on for a few more hours, he could have made it to the 40th anniversary of Chappaquiddick.

Excellent article!

Great post. I’m 43. Your memories of Cronkite took me back to the same America you describe. I can’t imagine Cronkite ever saying he got a thrill up his leg. It would have been unseemly. Look at how far this nation has been steered away from it’s foundation.

Walter Kronkite: POS; That about sums it up. RIP you POS.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I second that suggestion.

[higgmeister]

Over 50 bump.

[smoothsailing]

Thanks Nathan. I remember Cronkite well. He was good at what he did, and as a Vietnam veteran I’ll never forgive him for it.

[50cal Smokepole]

Bump.
Gotta read later.
Bump.

[smokingfrog]

Well stated.

[STARWISE]

~~Excellent ! You're a wonderful writer. Keep it up. BUMP!!

[El Cid]

It is harsh to say that, finally, Walter Cronkite was a deceiver, but it is the truth.

Good analysis, and good summary.

Nathan. Thanks for writing this excellent piece and posting it on FR. You’re right, the liberal kiddies who never knew Cronkite will be whining and crying about some of the posts here about Cronkite. This pre-emptive strike is a good idea. Maybe they will spend a little time between all of their childish huffin’ and puffin’ to read this article and see where many of the posters are coming from. Most of them don’t believe that war exists so they wouldn’t understand where most Vietnam vets are coming from.
