Cronkite was a left-wing fool, who aided and abetted our defeat in Vietnam.
He was left-wing, but if he reported the news it was usually straight, not the opinion pieces we get today from the left.
think that was the point of the meme. I'm old enough to remember him very well. But maybe too young to have understood his politics.
But that's kind of the point. I didn't really know his politics just by watching him on the news. Today you can't miss it.
And honestly, we were never going to succeed in Vietnam. We should've never been there. It literally wasn't winnable, never was going to have a positive outcome, a waste of a generation. And I honestly wonder if JFK had not been assassinated if we would've gotten out sooner. But we will never know.
There are those who believe he was assassinated because he was not in favor of the war or the CIA.
Who really knows, my friend?
