Walter Cronkite Without Tears
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted Monday, July 20, 2009 4:20 PM PT
Journalism: After the eulogies, the fact remains that "the most trusted man in America" betrayed that trust. He helped snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Vietnam and tried hard to do the same in Iraq.
President Obama on Friday praised Walter Cronkite as a journalistic icon, calling the CBS anchor the "voice of certainty in an uncertain world." More to the point, he was the father of advocacy journalism, the patron saint of media bias. He went from reporting news to recreating it in his own image.
Far from the image of the patriotic war correspondent, Cronkite was a World Federalist who couldn't wait for what was called "the American Century" to end.
In this Aug. 25, 1998, photo, Walter Cronkite is joined by President Bill Clinton, wife Hillary and daughter Chelsea on a sailboat near Edgartown, Mass. Best known as anchorman for the 'CBS Evening News' for 19 years, Cronkite died Friday night at 92.
In a profile by Newsday TV writer Verne Gay in the Jan. 21, 1996, issue of Los Angeles Times Magazine, Cronkite spoke of his dream for America. "We may have to find some marvelous middle ground between capitalism and communism," Gay quotes Cronkite as saying.
Let's call it socialism, and Cronkite at least lived long enough to see it unfolding before his eyes and ours.
Cronkite said that for the United States "the first priority of the new order must be a revision of the educational system to . . . guarantee that each of our citizens will have equal resources to share in the decisions of the democracy, and a fair share of the economic pie."
For him, equal opportunity was not enough; equal success must be guaranteed. And he was ahead of his time in suggesting we should spread the wealth around.
In October 1999, Cronkite accepted the Norman Cousins Global Governance Award from the World Federalist Association. In accepting the award, he said "we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government" and that "Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty."
Cronkite was also bothered by American wars against oppression and tyranny. The "most trusted man in America" said Vietnam was unwinnable and helped to make it so. Then-President Johnson reportedly told an aide, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost Middle America."
Except that Cronkite's analysis was almost pure fiction and dead wrong.
His report after the Tet offensive of 1968 was a total misreading of the situation on the ground, which was that Tet was an American and South Vietnamese victory and a Viet Cong defeat. His report did succeed in fueling the anti-war movement Hanoi counted on for victory.
The Viet Cong didn't reach a single one of their objectives and lost most of their 45,000 troops in their attacks on 21 South Vietnamese cities. So massive was their defeat that it convinced Hanoi to send North Vietnamese Army regulars south to carry on the fight. But that's not what Cronkite reported.
What Cronkite never mentioned is that defeat came not on the battlefield but in the halls of Congress, when the "Watergate babies" of 1974 cut off aid to the valiant South Vietnamese who'd been successfully defending their country. The Democrats de-funded that war, and they wanted to defund the latest one too with his blessing.
In 2007, Cronkite said the Iraq War "is being carried out by a stubborn president." Stubborn like Churchill and Reagan. In an op-ed in the Japan Times, Cronkite said that we "have lost the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people, and victory no longer seems to be a remote possibility."
The reporters and talking heads who revered him and sought to emulate him also manipulated the true facts, focusing on body counts and ignoring the millions of purple fingers, casting their first votes, their hearts and minds clearly with us.
To the Cronkites of the world it will always be 1968, and only global governance can save us from our quagmires. And that's the way it is . . .

A suggested reading list
suggested reading list
Okay, on a slightly different topic.When I was looking through some old sites, trying to find stories I've lost, I came across this post I did, about a suggested summer reading list. A bit early, but you could call it a spring break list, I guess.Hope you enjoy.
For those who are looking for something beyond the trashy summer beach novel, here are some suggestions, all nonfiction. And yes, I have read them all, and have most of them. Don't have the time to do annotations for all of them, but, you can always look up the details online...and get some cheap book deals as well, if your library doesn't have them.
Starting with one of my favorite authors, Dr. Thomas Sowell (PhD in Economics), the first two books are on economics, but were written for the average person, not for an economist or economics major. No charts, no fancy equations, but full of practical examples of how economic principles work in day to day life. I feel that both should be in the home library, and something that the kids should read as well.
Basic Economics: A Citizens Guide to the Economy, revised ed.- Sowell
Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One-Sowell
Ethnic America - Sowell. Another, in my opinion must for the home library. In this book, he takes a look at the larger 'ethnic' groups that immigrated to the United States and examines what brought them here, how they assimilated, and what they have contributed to our American culture. Groups that he examines include the Germans, Jews, Irish, Japanese, Italians, Chinese, and Black Americans.
Taking off from where Ethnic America started, Sowell's Culture trilogy is an amazing academic effort, and it is accessible to anyone who wants to learn more about the world around them. This set is relatively apolitical.
Race and Culture- Sowell
Migration and Culture: A World View- Sowell
Conquests and Culture: An International History - Sowell
Affirmative Action Around the World - SowellIn this book he shows the difference between what people want to happen, and what does happen when political policies are established without being willing to accept the real life outcomes and consequences of those policies. I would recommend that this book be read only after Basic Economics and Ethnic America have been read, possibly even after the culture trilogy; while it could be read as a stand alone, he assumes a basic knowledge of some of the areas that he has previously discussed.
On a decidedly political note, we have his next trilogy, the Vision series.
The Vision of the Annointed: Self Congratulations as a Basis for Social Policy- Sowell.
A Conflict of Vision: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles - Sowell. My favorite of this set, it seems to sum up the essential message that Sowell is presenting.
The Quest for Cosmic Justice - Sowell
Inside American Education - Sowell
Black Rednecks and White Liberals - Sowell
History/sociology/political science
A History of the American People - Paul Johnson
Modern Times: The World From the Twenties to the Nineties - Paul Johnson.
Amazingly detailed histories, both of Johnson's books are recommended for the home library, or Jr. High or High School or college student. It seems that so many of today's students have no good background of either modern world history, or American history. They know bits and pieces, but seldom seem to know how it all fits together. I find that A History of the American People serves as a nice antidote to the seemingly ever prevelant A Peoples History by Zinn, which is in more and more HS classrooms, and not just colleges.
Darwinizing Culture - Robert Aunger
War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race - Edwin Black
In a Dark Wood: The Fight Over Forests and the Myth of Nature - Alston Chase

Uncivil Wars: The Controversy Over Reparations For Slavery - David Horowitz. Another of my favorite authors.
Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About the '60s - David Horowitz.
Left Illusions: An Intellectual Odyssey - David Horowitz. A collection of his articles over the years.
Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass - Theodore Dalrymple. Oftentimes a depressing read, all the more so because his stories are all true (the author is a British physician). The reader is left to wonder what ever happened to common sense, and it appears that it disappeared one small step at a time. An indictment of what happens when people are willing to acdept a socialist nanny state. Even More appropriate these days.
Our Culture, What's Left of it - Theodore Dalrymple
What's so Great About America - Dinesh D'Souza. First, note that this is a statement, not a question. When I was in the Army, I was, at one time, an instructor for Allied officers, most if not all whom were from non NATO countries. Their take on the current events going on in America at that time, what they saw on our tv, in our papers, was quite enlightening (this was during the time of the Rodney King riots....). First, they ALL thought it was hysterically funny that so many of our 'poor' had houses/apartments to live in, With running water, With electricity, WITH tvs and vcrs, and video games, had access to free medical care, and were so fat (as they said, fat and poor didn't go together in their countries. D'Souza's book is written from such a perspective, showing why people from around the world do most anything they can to live here.

Intellectual Morons: How Idiology Makes Smart People Fall for Stupid Ideas - Daniel Flynn. A must read, if for no other reason then it explains what critique theory, and the philosophy of deconstruction is all about, concepts which are often implicit in much that is talked about today, especially on college campuses. Highly recommended for the HS or college student.
Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man - Jason Clarke. Goes through Moores work, and shows how incredibly creative editing produces the effects he wants, truth be damned.
The Real Jimmy Carter - Steven Hayward
The Case for a Creator - Strobel
The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History - Woods, Jr.
Education
Would recommend these to any student going on to ANY institution of higher education. Yes, they are all decidedly conservative in viewpoint, but it gives them another viewpoint, and that after all, Is the point.

Personal Finance/business
These aren't just for adults, but for kids as well. I think many adults forget just how curious kids are, and how they will browse if something is around in the house. I wish I had had something like these books when I was growing up. A suggestion by one of the authors, to get kids who might not otherwise read something like this, is to pay them for a completed book report. Some might call it bribery, others might call it positive reinforcement.I know I have these out in our house, where the kids have had access to them, and have bought copies for each of my adult kids and their families, and for my college girls, and for my sister's families...
The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy - Stanely and Danko
The Millionaire Mind - Thomas Stanely. Both are highly recommended for the Jr High or older student.
Multiple Streams of Income: How to Generate a Lifetime fo Unlimited Wealth - Robert Allen
Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Kiyosaki. Okay, I don't agree with all he has to say in his series of books, but this one is worth reading, especially for kids, if they just get TWO concepts out of it. One is if they can do the Very simple chart showing the difference between assets, and liabilites, and the other is if they can see the difference between business owners, investors, entrepeneurs,and workers.

The next series of books are all by Dan Kennedy, a legendary marketing and sales coach. Yes, there is some overlap between books, yes, some of it is common sense, ONCE it's pointed out, but they are in paperback, are cheap, and well worth the money! And yes, for the kids to read as well.
No B.S. Business Success - Kennedy
No B.S. Sales Success - Kennedy. The chapter called Bonus, which is a reprint of a work he did, about how to 'read' other people, how to ask questions, how to read body language, is worth the price of the book in and of itself.
No B.S. Time Management for Entrepeneurs - Kennedy
No B.S. Direct Marketing - Kennedy
No B.S. Wealth Attraction for Entrepeneurs - Kennedy
No Rules - Dan Kennedy
The Ultimate Marketing Plan - Kennedy. A MUST have for the home library.

What Went Wrong? Western Impact and Middle Eastern Responses - Bernard Lewis
