I despised Walter Cronkite even at that time.

That corn-fed accent did nothing but cover the leftist garbage they were slopping to the American people.

Haven't forgotten him at all - he's the leftist gift that keeps on giving - last time I heard, still active on behalf of the Forces of Darkness!

Interesting they didn't let this out until after he was dead and we couldn't kill him anymore.

So Uncle Walter was, in fact, a sanctimonious, lying and unpatriotic piece of $hit.

Is he also in North Viet Nam's Hall of Heroes?

He should be.

Not surprising.
We know this was going on but because we didn’t have today’s communications capabilities, they could get away with it.

So much for going back to the past a la The Fairness Doctrine.

Maybe I’m naive, but I’m shocked and appalled that Cronkite would abuse his position and trust like this. I remember that he used to be in everybody’s living room every week night and people trusted him as an objective reporter. He betrayed the public trust.

Don’t forget Fatso Kennedy as well! He was part of the RAT Congress that stabbed South Vietnam in the back!

If true, a sleazy, crab-ridden whore he was.
