I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Even though WC was another media left-leaner at least he waited until after he was off the air to espouse his "views".
Todays talking heads should take a lesson.

According to Genreal Giap, commander of North Vietnam Forces, and planner of TET during the Vietnam War, a prolific writer and author reports in some of his writhings that the North Vietnamese lost the TET offensive and were fully resigned to and more than willing to surrender unconditionally after TET, but ultimately won a political victory after Walter Cronkite and other anti war journalist were reporting to the world that the United States lost Tet.....Cronkite, Rather and  other anti war propogandist likely caused the death of untold thousands of lives in Vietnam because of their anti war propoganda. Although at one time Cronkite may have been America's Anchor man, he became an anti war propogandist along with Dan Rather and many others. These folks and their protoge's tried the same identical tactics recently on the war on Terroism, but thankfully failed, at least so far.
