Much praise has been placed on this well known journalist and reporter. Many say he was the ideal newsman, bringing honest reporting of world events for years to the American people. However as a firm believer that the Warren Commission Report on the murder of JFK was a pack of lies, Walter lost me when he went on the air and tried to convince the American people that a nut shot JFK and another nut shot the nut that shot JFK. I will always wonder who got to Cronkite, or if he himself believed this government whitewash of the murder of a president.

The other thing I would like to have asked Mister Cronkite was how he felt when the western media giants joined the military industrial complex at the beginning of Gulf war one. Since Cronkite reported on NAM and saw the footage of real American soldiers holding their comrades as they bled to death and the coffins arriving at Dover AFB, where was his loud protest when reporting was reduced to a Hollywood stage and a General with a pointing stick telling Americans the war was going just great. No troops with a speck of blood, no coffins arriving at Dover AFB. This policy continued on to both the Cheney Bush illegal crusades. If anyone has any evidence that Walter Cronkite protested this miscarriage of combat reporting, please post a link to it.
