| Walter Cronkite Circling The Drain |
| 2009-06-19 |
| CBS isn't commenting on reports that veteran newsman Walter Cronkite is gravely ill. The 92-year-old former anchor of "The CBS Evening News," who has been ailing for some time, has reportedly taken a turn for the worse, according to TVNewser and other online sites. |

| #7 I grew up with Walter Cronkite same as you Mike. Used to respect him as the 'offical news'. Only later did I realize how he and his buddies bent the truth to match their narrative. If it weren't for Walter (and Jane Fonda), North Vietnam would have sought peace soon after the Tet offensive - when they were soundly defeated. However Walt went on and on about how it was a terrible defeat for the americans on national TV which the North Vietmanese command watched in amazement- and Hanoi Jane was right there encouring them to continue. As a result the Vietnam war lasted years longer then it might have. Even the N. Vietnam general (Gaip?) stated such in his book. |

| #6 As a kid, I used to watch CBS for the Gemini and Apollo space launches, and Cronkite was for me the official voice of manned spaceflight. I prefer to remember that Cronkite and not the raving moonbat he became in his declining years. |

| #4 While I liked him on the news, the more I hear about Crankcase 'Bending the truth', the less I like him now. |

| #3 Even if he passes, he'll still be with us. ACORN will have another name for Chicago, St. Louis, Miami, et al. |
