Cronkite has never helped America. The marking of his passing with all of the sentiments of gratitude is disgusting. I'm sure his family and friends loved him, and I'm sure he was a decent guy in those respects or at least I have no reason to think otherwise. But, as far as his impact on his nation goes, it is all bad, negative, and destructive. He is lauded as the model for modern broadcast journalism. Well, boy howdy! I'll agree. What a mess.

He helped convince the masses that America couldn't win in Vietnam.
