Until the day he retired, my parents revered CBS News’s Walter Cronkite. Combining dignity with a gentle flow of compassion and wisdom, and always with a warm twinkle in his eye, he informed Americans about events worldwide. Then he concluded the show by saying, “And that’s the way it is.” They told me how they wept with him when President Kennedy died, and they believed him when he lied about the U.S. victory in the Tet Offensive, a lie that effectively lost the Vietnam War for America. In those days, CBS News had gravitas, and no one knew understood was pushing propaganda along with its straight news reporting

Andrea is exactly right about SeeBS. Just like the rest of the alphabet networks and other "legacy" media. Now if we can only get the rest of America to understand this.

CBS, NBC, etal are propaganda mechanisms of the Deep State. No surprise here. Fox is slowly tilting toward the membership thanks to Paul Ryan.

SeeBS has been a leftist propaganda outlet since Cronkite started lying about the Tet offensive in1968. Fake news is their game, ask Lyin' Dan Rather about "fake but accurate" crappola.

Cronkite was so respected because there was no context. People did not know what they did not know back then.

I served on a staff in Saigon and lived downtown throughout the Tet Offensive. I remember calling my folks on MARS radio (you can look it up) and telling them not to listen to CBS or read Newsweek.

"We told the American people what we wanted them to know." - Walter Kronkite from an interview in Reader's Digest after he retired. Still have the article.

true about Cronkite. i knew soldiers who fought in Vietnam and I always knew Cronkite shortchanged their wit and effort and victory, and that Kerry slandered them. Those lies broke hearts. I know people remember Cronkite with love and trust ... what can I say..... you were wrong. The mill of God grinds slowly but it grinds exceeding small, and assessing the lies of today people can see all the way back.

I still think about Rather's effort to smear George W. on the Texas Air National Guard story. At least he lost credibility and was rightfully slammed as a lying POS.

Welcome to post-truth, post-fact, and post-reality America where the occurrence of an event you don’t like is immediately a conspiracy to be ridiculed, dismissed, and ‘just asking questions about it’ to death. The attempted assassination of President Trump falls into that category. Since it’s politically inconvenient, 1 in 3 Dems have already adopted the position that it was staged.

Minnesota governor Tim Walz on Tuesday reiterated his support for abolishing the Electoral College and switching to a national popular vote as the sole means of electing presidents and their running mates. While campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris on the West Coast, Walz suggested at two different fundraisers that he would prefer to focus on winning votes across the country rather than concentrate on key battleground states that could sway the upcoming presidential election as they have done in the past. “I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go. We need, we need national popular vote, but that’s not the world we live in,”

What are they hiding? The Georgia State Election Board it working overtime in an attempt to investigate the controversial 2020 election and to clean up the future elections in the state. However, officials in Fulton County continue to refuse to work with State Election Board. But that may soon change. The Georgia State Election Board voted 3-2 to subpoena ALL of the election records from Fulton County during the 2020 election. This will not turn out well for Fulton County.

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) walked away from the counter at a cafe without paying, with Walz’s daughter revealing that “someone will be up” to pay. Video footage posted to X appeared showed the two men walking away from the counter after Walz’s daughter tells them she will “wait” for the tea and informs a worker behind the counter that a campaign staffer is coming to the counter to pay. “I’ll wait for your tea,” Walz’s daughter says as the two men walk away.

Lebanese terror outfit Hezbollah has changed its tune: After spending weeks trumpeting an apocalyptic end for Israel, the cadre of bloodthirsty cowards is begging the Jewish state to let up. “We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” whined Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem — for the first time not conditioning a truce on an end to the war in Gaza. Turns out bravely attacking your enemies with uncanny precision and skill, rather than begging them for peace, is effective as a military strategy. Who knew?

Bob Woodward has a new book, War, about the inner dynamics of the Biden White House, some of which you probably guessed to be true in the long four years we’ve suffered under this man. It paints a picture that’s become familiar: an angry old man, not in control, and holding seething resentment toward pretty much everyone, including Barack Obama. It captures the baffling arrogance of Mr. Biden, who has never done anything remotely significant to earn such a demeanor.

“World’s worst influencer” Caroline Calloway says she is refusing to leave her Florida home in a “mandatory evacuation” zone — even though she knows it’ll likely kill her. “So if you’ve been following Hurricane Milton, um, I’m going to die,” the controversial Instagram scammer said in a video Tuesday, a day before the monstrous storm is expected to kill those who refuse to leave. “It’s supposed to make landfall in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I’m in Sarasota, I live on the water. It’s a zone A, mandatory evacuation,” she said.(Photo) The 32-year-old, an early influencer who hawked workshops that never happened while getting friends to ghostwrite her popular posts, attempted to explain

Millions of Christians in the United States indicated in a study released on Monday that they are not likely to vote in the upcoming election this November, signaling a potential problem for the Republican Party. Just over half of interviewees (51%) in a Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study, who identified as "people of faith," responded that they are likely to vote in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

I was initially wondering why it took CBS 60-Minutes over 36 hours to upload the full interview to their YouTube account. Now things make sense. CBS 60-Minutes not only edited the interview, but they also completely erased parts of the interview and structurally moved answers to questions in an intentional effort to assist the Harris campaign. In essence, CBS completely changed the interview. CBS didn’t just shape or modify the interview; they literally moved answers to questions.

Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that he was “scared to death” about the election and that the Harris-Walz campaign needed to be “much more aggressive.” Carville said, “The only thing I feel is the election is coming November 5, and I’m scared to death.” Host Ari Melber asked, “You’re not in a reflective mood?” Carville said, “I’m not in a particularly reflective mood right now. I’m very concerned.” Melber said, “What does Harris need to do with the month left?” Carville said, “She doesn’t have a month left. We’ve got 26 days. Today is gone, and you are going to lose another four in a hurricane. Just subtract that.

Vice President Kamala Harris cracked open a can of Miller High Life on Tuesday, and took one sip, during an appearance on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” “When you first became the nominee and named Tim Walz as your vice president nominee people were calling it the vibe election. The vibes were all good,” late-night host Stephen Colbert told Harris, referring to the enthusiasm for the new Democratic nominee after President Biden dropped out of the race. “But elections, I think, are won on vibes,” Colbert continued, in a clip released his show. “Because one of the old saws is I –

CNN host Anderson Cooper experienced the the storm’s wrath firsthand. Cooper was drilled in the face with flying debris as he gave a live report in the midst of the powerful winds brought on by Hurricane Milton Wednesday night. Cooper, posted near the Manatee River, attempted to explain how the storm impacted the water when he was met with Milton’s wrath, 30 minutes after the storm made landfall on Florida’s west-central coast. (Photo) “You could see it in the light there, (the wind) is just whipping off the Manatee River. It’s coming in from the northeast and the water is really starting to pour over,” Cooper said.

Democrats, who were once optimistic about the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris, are now feeling extremely nervous about the party’s decision to push President Joe Biden to step aside. Harris won exactly zero Democrat primary votes before her coronation and held one of the lowest approval ratings as a vice president in U.S. history. Only after the establishment media began writing about Harris in a positive way did her standing among the electorate appear to rise.Everything is deadlocked and the composition of the electorate is unknowable, and there are so many things that are unprecedented,” said Jamal Simmons, a Democrat strategist who served as Harris’s communications director until last year.
