Cronkite would was disgusted by FOX... Fox has no right to say anything about that great man... The irony should prevent them.

More to the point he was a news caster and if he didn't tell the news someone else would. Besides look what it all turned into Dan Rather and now the news alcart.

Sorry, separation of the LEM and CM. They orbited 60 miles from the surface of the Moon awaiting the go/nogo orders. Six orbits I remember, can you imagine... Walter Cronkite brought us there.

About this time forty years ago the LEM was separating from the LSM while in orbit over the Moon and awaiting capcom to tell them they were go for the Moon. Walter Cronkite was there telling us about it.

Why arent we having all the hoopla for Mr. Cronkite as we did for Michael jackson? Please I am not saying either deserved anything special especially when we cant even publicy honor the deaths of our hero's dying in Afghanistan and Iraq but it does show where as a nation we place our values and our values are sadly misplaced.

Most conservatives I know are well tempered, don't go around attacking people on a public blog, you may want to try the Huffington Post? You may feel more comfortable with those views. You know complaining, sniveling, crying, that sort of thing. Or you can just grow up?

Cronkite was a big reason on why we lost and left Viet Nam.
After the Tet offensive in 1968, which we soundly defeated the North Vietnamese, he said it was a lost cause which resulted in anti war sentiment back home. He lied. Today if he were a young as a news reporter he would be no better than what CNN, CBS, ABC and the the New York Times reporters are., Liberal hacks. I certainly didn't believe what he had to say and I grew up in that generation and find it perplexing as to why we venerate people so easily. Michael Jackson and now Cronkite, whose next, Castro? Fox News really disappoints me, report what he really was.

It's to late for you brother, People become what they eat, they also become what they think, you've been on the Huffington post way to long, however we welcome you here. This blog site offers your type conservative therapy. If you can read so quit tiring to find the pictures.
Lesson One:
1. Remember it not the guns fault. I have seen what a human being can do to another human being with a gun; the jury found the gun innocent, it was the human beings fault. Do you understand that principle?

Kronkite's definition of LIBERAL is not
like we think of it as Dems being Liberal
and Repubs being Conservative.
He meant it as the dictionary definition.
We should ALL be this kind of LIBERAL!!!................
Walter Kronkite: "I define liberal as a person who is not doctrinaire. That is a dictionary definition of liberal. That's opposed to 'liberal' as part of the political spectrum....open to change, constantly, not committed to any particular creed or doctrine, or whatnot, and in that respect I think that news people should be liberal."
