The man who led the downfall of journalism.

I suppose in a number of respects, wiseguy is correct. from what I studied of him, I remember hearing of his support of “slick willy” during the “slick willy” episode in the 90s, and I wasn’t happy about his opposition to the 2nd iraq war, but he did other good reporting I believe, if memory of my studying him serves..

Cronkite convinced middle America that we had lost the Vietnam War while at the same time we had won every major battle there.
I’ll forgive but I can never forget.

The Machine, thanks for adding that. I was just about to respond to Nicholas’ post more ore less saying the same thing. What Cronkite did was inexcusable. People trusted him to report the news and what he did was spew inaccurate propaganda based on his ideology and it cost the lives of many Americans. Walter Cronkite was NOT a journalist, he was a supreme fraud because he was biased and his actions had VERY real consequences for many Americans. Not only did he convince America that we had lost the war but he helped convince the North Vietnamese to keep fighting because America would eventually lose the will to keep fighting. The man is guilty of treason and the blood of thousands of Americans is on his head.

Walter – it may sound cruel – or even heartless – but I won’t miss you. I’m sure General Võ Nguyên Giáp has just welcomed you with open arms!
