The Last Word on Cronkite

Brent Baker at News Busters has the last word on Cronkite’s liberalism, assembling a representative sample of his more fatuous maunderings.

One of my favorites: “I know liberalism isn't dead in this country. It simply has, temporarily we hope, lost its voice…Gawd Almighty, we've got to shout these truths in which we believe from the housetops. Like that scene in the movie 'Network,' we've got to throw open our windows and shout these truths to the streets and the heavens. And I bet we'll find more windows are thrown open to join the chorus than we'd ever dreamed possible.”

More likely, the majority of those windows would have framed incensed citizens hollering at the squawking liberals to “Shaddup, already!”
