I am a fan of Fox News and in fact have been on it before interviewed by Martha McCallum. I was just sickened listening to your panel just now fawning over Walter Cronkite. Walter Cronkite should be labeled, “one of the least trustworthy men in America.” He singularly turned the tide in the War in Vietnam in favor of our enemy which caused untold pain in the lives of millions of Vietnam veterans and their families for decades. I earned and wore a Green Beret there and have two sons who also earned and wear Green Berets now in the GWOT. Walter Cronkite proclaimed the Tet Offensive of 1968 a resounding military victory for the communists, when in fact it was; by far, their largest defeat by US and South Vietnamese in the war. We decimated the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong, and at that point they were ready to surrender.  

Because Uncle Walter was so trusted, his misleading statement bolstered the ranks of the anti-war movement, so the leaders in Hanoi decided to hang on and see if they could outlast us. American forces NEVER lost one single battle in the Vietnam War. We won every major battle, but you would never know that thanks to the left-leaning CBS News spearheaded by Walter Cronkite, as well as the very liberal Hollywood motion picture machinery and other media outlets following like sheep.

First, you guys spent hour upon hour covering the funeral of a 50 year old dead drug addict who slept with little boys in his bed all the time, admittedly, and settled out of court on pedophilia charges several times. Then you fawn over a news caster that injected his self-admitted very liberal anti-war bias into his national newscast, and thus actually changed the course and transcription of US history. You all were actually wondering why a non-newsman, John Stewart, was polled as the current “most trusted newscaster in America,” and you seemed shocked? You will not invite an actual veteran or parent of American fighting men on to speak for our fallen brothers, or for those serving now who must remain silent and apolitical while their story is misrepresented by many on the news. I thought you all were at least, as advertised, “fair and balanced,” until today when I watched your show. You had newscasters on today saying we were losing the war, it was not going well, etc. No, it was reported incorrectly. How many brave American fighting men and women killed in Iraq and Afghanistan during the days of Jackson and Cronkite’s deaths were even mentioned or thanked, while you sang the praises repeatedly of a singer/dancer who repeatedly grabbed his crotch on videos desensitizing our youth to sexual impropriety? Frank Sinatra, or even Elvis would have been lynched, back in the day.

With your precious freedom to report the news comes a responsibility to get it right, even sitting around a table in the newsroom. People listen to you and believe. Cronkite proved that, to the detriment of my fellow Vietnam veterans, heroes one and all, but labeled as baby-killers and miscreants by those mislead by so-called “impartial reporters of the news.
