>I'm well aware of what happened when Cronkite was drummed out of CBS. My point is that Cronkite has recently declined to say much about the Rathergate episode. Do you disagree with that?

AFIAK, he didn't say anything. However, that does not mean he agrees with CBS on what happened.

The only thing I know about this is what I read on the link. However, there are things in that link that make it suspect. For example, while Kitty Kelly was on the Today show for several days, it wasn't simply a blind acceptance of what she wrote. I saw several parts of the interviews with her and they did challenge her on several points.

I also do not agree with the assertion that CBS single cause the US to lose the Vietnam war.
