When Walter Cronkite self determined that he had to share his “higher truth” about Viet Nam, he took American journalism in a new direction and gave it new purpose. With Cronkite, the US journalistas took up the burden of moving forward the great plan of Joseph Stalin, and his successor, Leonid Breshnev, to destroy the healthy, strong underpinning fabric of the American nation. General Giap could not have been more pleased that Walter was able to turn the complete military destruction of the Viet Cong and the NVA in the south into a propaganda victory that led us to abandon Viet Nam and the Vietnamese to the predations of the commies in ’75.
Stop giving me higher truth. Give me the plain truth, or be ready to see your fully paid for asses fail in the marketplace of ideas.
