"What we still dont understand is why u Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi.u had us on the ropes. If u had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or 2, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. u defeated us! We knew it, and we thought u knew it. But we were elated to notice ur media were definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields.We were ready to surrender.u had won!"~General Giap

we had the war won after the tet offensive, quoted by a vietcong commander! but the damn MEDIA and the damn hippe generation (which are in congress right now) lost the will to fight! i am truly scared of my generation being more cowardly than the baby boomers.

You are correct, sir...and let us not forget how his successor, Katie Couric, told Michael Moore that she'd rather rearrange her sock drawer than accept an invite to have lunch w/him. Oh, did I mention Rather's interim replacement, Bob Schieffer, is a close personal friend of Bush and was personally praised by the latter for "objective reporting" during his stint? My theory's that crying "bias" carries more weight than crying "you're not reporting the way I want it reported".

Yes, we all know that b/c of Cronkite - a network news anchor - our nation was never in greater peril.

Nobody asked for Cronkite's opinion, he's a newsreader...nothing more, nothing less. I lay a large portion of blame on him for America's losing of the war. The Vietcong thought there was no hope...until Cronkite opened his fat mouth and pretty much told them the war was theirs for the taking.

what would YOU know? Name the news anchors immediately before him, and on NBC and ABC - and maybe you have some credibility. Otherwise you're just one more YT commenter picking your ass, wiping your mouth, and speaking garbage

cronkite was the very first 'know nothing' news anchor -- he dressed himself in ed murrow's legacy, but he was ed murrow's nightmare
