If it wasn’t for Walter bowing out, we’d still be inundated with wailing about MJ.

What a narcististic media pile on. The guy read the f*****g news, fer criseseake!
Blowbama says “he asked us to believe – and we believed”
What a sleazy, hypocrite.

“.. narcissistic.. ”

Tedious little cults of personality … that’s basically what TV journalism has become. It’s worse now than ever before too.
“I will explain the world to you morons, just sit back, crack open a beer, and marvel at my glittering grasp of connections that no mortal human being could possibly make.”
Who did you think of there? I’ve got enough lawsuits on my plate without mentioning any Names.

I never bought into the conkrite cult. for one thing we didnt have cable and I never saw him do a cbs news broadcast. my exposure to the ‘authoritative voice’ was limited to space launches and a sunday afternoon thing called ‘the 20th century’ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050072/.
nope. don’t look at me when it comes to pointing to suckers of the MSM.
p.s. Tet was in fact a victory, for the viet cong. a propaganda bonanza. they had lots of military failures but Tet exposed the vulnerability of the south and the level at which communist sympathizers had infiltrated the south and Saigon in particular.
vietnam was a war for hearts and minds and in that the north continued to rack up victories. Tet was their biggest on that score.

Peter Pansbridge should be reading this and realizing what further will be said about his memory when he joins Walter.

curious_george;
I cannot remember his name, but the General who ran the North Vietnamese army has said that the north got its ass kicked in any military sense, that he knew that it was going to happen going in but did it anyway precisely because he understood the gullibility of the American press and how they would likely report it. I am sure he was thinking about Cronkite whom he played for the fool he was.

Pravda,Tass,MSM. All the same crap.Cripes.The “news” isn’t even worth watching for the weather anymore.Looking out the window is more accurate!

Until then Peter should join Keith Boag in LaLa land.
Seems appropriate.

General Giap…..who also presided over Dien Bien Phu….
Those of us who were there had much the same reaction as the Whermacht after Dunkirk….
“Vas ist loos? didn’t we win that one?”

Cronkite was a news reader at the height of the cult of AUTHORITY. You listened to your superiors because they were the AUTHORITY. The more letters behind the name the greater the AUTHORITY.
Thank heaven for nonsense like AGW to permanently remove the nonsense that passed/es for AUTHORITY. Let every man think for himself.

Canadian Mao Stlong say, Canadian Saur Lae* my man in Viet Nam; Saul’s sons my nephews**.
… and that’s the way it was not reported.
…-.
“In 1955, he [Saul Rae*] worked on the International Commission for Supervision and Control in Vietnam as deputy to the Canadian Commissioner, Sherwood Lett. The role of the commission was to supervise the peace settlement at the end of the First Indochina War. He later served as Canadian Ambassador to France and was, from 1972 to 1976, Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations.
**Saul Rae’s son, Bob Rae, was leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party and Premier of Ontario while another son John Rae was a senior advisor to Jean ChrÃ©tien and is an executive with Power Corporation.”
*”Saul Rae (1914-1999) was a Canadian diplomat during the Pearsonian era of Canadian foreign policy.”

Its all about the technology. Newspapers, Radio and Television are broadcast media to a wide audience but with limited time or space. This means that whoever decides what fills that limited time or space has tremendous power. If you were a business or politician you had to suck up to these media gatekeepers to ensure favourable coverage or to just get your message out. Hence the kissing up to Cronkite or Mansbridge as great people even though they are glorified readers.
The Internet has the exact opposite problem – infinite space filled with an infinite amount of contributors. Getting noticed is much harder as all the bloggers who read this site are painfully aware. The Internet will finally pass the traditional mass media as the primary mass market news and opinion source when someone comes up with a way to effectively filter the “best”.

Fritz
In regards to the internet I propose that a filter is the last thing we need. The ‘best” or creme will rise to the top based on the effort expended and the validity and integrity of those who run top flight sites.
Natural selection if you will. Beyond that, critical mass (and I mean that literally and figuratively) is close at hand.

Cronkite’s gone! WOO HOO! I heard about this Saturday morning. Now if that tit Rather would kick off before midnight tonight that would make it a great weekend.

Curiuos George:
Tet was a propaganda victory in large part because of what Cronkite did. He took his cues fromthe elite in new York that he hob knobbed with – not what he saw in Vietnam. That should be his legacy. While he may have thought what he was doing was patriotic what he did was borderline treason. Check this book out sometime: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html/ref=mp_s_a_1/179-2295483-4687465?qid=1248038347&a=0891415319&sr=8-1

Old Walter was the best corporate media asset the CIA could buy. Implicated in operation Mockingbird, where CIA seeding of disinfo via corporate media “assets” was made public though FOIA requests.
Walter retired reputation intact by his networking with the ruling establishment and accepted awards for his work in creating a global government for the MIC forces he worked so hard for.

Frankly even in high school I thought he was a phoney. It became apparent after watching the horrid air lift from Vietnam as he was smirking.
He was another toddy for the socialists. One thing he did do was support the space program. Fat lot of good that did.

Comparing Cronkite to Mansbridge is like comparing
Lorne Greene to this Newman fellow over there at Global News; no memorable voice, no gravitas whatsoever. It would seem that Asper’s little empire is on its way out for lack of funding. Can you sense (feel) Conradian schadenfreude? The National Post (the best in Canada) no longer publishes every day, and the cost of the Saturday issue is now $2.50 at IGA. Too rich for this guy.

Cronkite was a giant of a news man! Wasn’t he the guy who told the world that “Kennedy died at 1pm”?
Oh… right … he was reading the freakin news.
But there is something to be said for that. I just wish more of today’s talking idiots would just “read the news already”!!!
