Walter Cronkite essay

 

Dear Mr. Reno:

I read your effusive praise of Walter Cronkite, and your subsequent lament about the state of
American politics in The Hippo Press.

First, Walter Cronkite as a bastion of impartiality and fairness?  The man was a far-left loon,
desiring One World Government.  He lied straight to the American people about the Tet Offensive
being a calamitous loss for the American side when, in fact, it was a crushing defeat of the
Communists.  It was that mendacity that not only poisoned the election, caused America's
military effort to lose support of the public, but I firmly believe that it was part of a
long-term strategy to create a calamitous American loss that the media - now eager to EFFECT
and SHAPE policy rather than merely informing the public - could point to in any future
military situation.  Just look at how quickly Afghanistan and Iraq were analogized to "another
Vietnam".

Second, you "tsk" about topics like "homeless refugees".  I wonder what that could possibly
mean.  The Muslim invaders colonizing Europe to accomplish its Islamization in a manner
consistent with Jihad-by-migration, otherwise known as Hijra?  It's all fun and games until
your daughter is spit on, harassed, slapped, and gang-raped.  Or your son anally raped by
a grinning man so badly he needs medical treatment, even as he justifies it by claiming he
"had a sexual emergency".  Or streets turned into sewers, train stations into crime centers,
etc.

When, not if, Europe ignites into a race war, it will be Invader-phile people like you who
are to blame.

Cronkite abused his position as the "most trusted man in America" to bamboozle America into
considering a war that was about to be won as lost.  He deserves, not accolades, but to have
scorn and derision as one of the worst traitors imaginable piled on his name.

And, in my own personal fantasy, he needs to be exhumed and his skull mounted on a pike
in front of the Columbia School of Journalism where - daily - the faculty needs to stand
and watch as Vietnam veterans piss all over it as a lesson to the next ten generations of
journalists what SHOULD and WILL happen to them should they choose to distort and lie as
he did.
