Argomento: Re: Ok, he's been dead long enough

Artful Dodger: Well, I'm glad u can recognize Cronkite's ability to report the news w/out bias.

The author of the AIM commentary was obviously hostile towards WC for expressing his opinion on the Vietnam War during his reporting days, one of the few times WC expressed an opinion on the air. The commentary was thus laced with distortions & quotes taken out of context. No one questions that WC's personal views were liberal leaning, and I'm perfectly fine w/ that. But to claim he was in league w/ the old Soviet Union, for example, is quite a distortion IMHO.

As far as defeating people in the so-called "war of ideas", I cite Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck & other darlings of the far right as targets for defeat.
