Here is more from neo neocon on Walter Cronkite, the Vietnam War, and the decline of American journalism. Cronkrite was regarded as "the most trusted man in America." He somehow took that high regard as a reason to change from just reporting the news to injecting his opinions into the news. Other's followed his lead, to the extent that hardly anyone believes journalists any more. And why should they? All of the major TV networks are firmly behind liberal initiatives and Democrats. They have no credibility because their reporting is so obviously slanted. Brit Hume was the last anchor that was objective; he was conservative, but he usually noted his bias.
