[The various Viet Cong guerrilla] units wore no insignia. They were ideological guerrillas, insurgents, terrorists.

That's right. They were everywhere TV, newspapers, magazines . . . .

". . . the [American] media played a major role in the final downfall of South Vietnam . . . North Vietnam General Vo Nguyen Giap . . . in a French TV broadcast [said that the] 'most important guerrilla during the Vietnam War was the American press.'"

Here I remember those days and I remember Walter "North Viet Nam Communists' Most Trusted Man in America" Cronkite.

By the time Cronkite no longer concealed his desire for a U.S. defeat the "anti-war", pro-Ho crowd had made zombies of the MSM employees. 1968.

I lived through all this and sadly you are right. In a just world, Walter Cronkite would be remembered as a traitor who sold out his country for an "agenda."
