I have refrained from commenting on Cronkite for the simple reason that I don’t like speaking ill of the dead. Mr. Steyn exactly nails it, so thankfully now I don’t have to...
Cronkite, arguably, helped cause the death of thousands if not millions--US Military personnel, South Vietnamese military and civilians--during and in the wake of the Vietnam War. Our "loss" there, engineered by him and others like him has, arguably, inspired other trash like Miss Crissy, the former sports commentator punk and others to give aid and comfort to our enemies and caused unwarranted deaths. I think of him and many others like him as little Joseph Goebbels clones and damn them all to hell if it were in my power to do so.
