(1)
The Guy who said:
"Once you have learned to fake sincerity, you have it made"

(2)
The guy who approached Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan,
and told him:
"IF you don't put George Bush on your ticket as your V.P.,
we will 'Goldwater you'- and make you look like one of the most crazy kooks who ever ran for President."

The rest is part of our sad, sad history...
Who do you suppose put him up to it, and how?

[MargueriteBee]

What is your point? why did you post this?

[GuyFox]

Read it again, carefully - especially this part:

(I heard recently that Cronkite was the guy who):
... approached Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan,
and told him:
"IF you don't put George Bush on your ticket as your V.P.,
we will 'Goldwater you'- and make you look like one of the most crazy kooks who ever ran for President."

Do you think that was a worthy act of "America's Most Trusted Man" ?

What sort of world would we have had, without Shrub-#1 as Reagan's Veep?

How did WK get and keep his role as "America's Most Trusted Man" ?
How much id he really know about what was going on with the HUGE stories he covered?

[Frederick Jackson]

Walter Cronkite was quoted as saying something to the effect that "It is only news(worthy?) if I say it is. He was the alpha and the omega of TV news. Yes, I would suppose trusted by most Americans.

[GuyFox]

True.
But in these conspiracy-minded times, I cannot help but wonder:
Was he a tool of the cabal? (whether willingly, or unwillingly)

Walter Cronkite Says Globalists Serve Satan!

Once a "World Federalist" lobbyist...
WC says:
"I'm in a position to speak my mind, and BY GOD, I'm Going to do it !"
As he speaks out against war.
A New court would hold individuals accountable for their crimes against humanity.
(Was he thinking about Nixon and cronies?)

(the Hillary clip is particularly chilling)

Comment:
"Cronkite receives award from the World Federalist Association. The award is the "Norman Cousins Global Governance Award." Through a closed-circuit hook-up, Hillary Clinton commends Cronkite for his promotion of a fascist one-world government"

I think this shows how:
Both Liberals and Conservatives can be Left and Right hands of a single puppetmaster (the NWO)

New Bio Reveals Former CBS Anchor Walter Cronkite Far More Biased Than Widely Believed

By Matthew Sheffield | May 22, 2012

A new biography of legendary CBS Evening News anchor Walter Cronkite reveals some amazing facts about Cronkite's liberal bias and various transgressions of journalistic ethics which expose the falsity of the establishment media's carefully-crafted image of neutrality.
. . .
"The days when national news was the dominion of three networks and a few major newspapers is portrayed as Eden before the fall, an era when partisanship of the kind that is now both familiar and expected was unknown. A key element to this fairy tale is the idea that the journalistic icons of the time, like CBS’s Walter Cronkite, were Olympian figures who would never stoop to play favorites or inject ideology into the news," Tobin writes.

"But this view is totally false. As media news analyst Howard Kurtz writes in the Daily Beast, a new biography of Cronkite by Douglas Brinkley spills the beans on the godlike anchorman’s unethical practices, including blatant partisanship that would make the conservative talkers on Fox and the liberals on MSNBC blush. It wasn’t Fox that poisoned the well of journalism, as former New York Times editor Bill Keller recently alleged. Fox and other such outlets were brought into existence in an effort to balance a journalistic establishment that was already tilting heavily to the left. The real sin here is not bias or even partisanship but the pretense of fairness that Cronkite exemplified.”

Tobin notes that the new information about Cronkite “gives the lie to the notion that the pre-Fox era was one in which non-partisan fairness ruled the airwaves,” adding that, according to Brinkley's book, “Cronkite’s partisanship against Republicans (especially Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon) and in favor of liberal Democrats was so open that it must now seem shocking that he was rarely called out about it."

According to the book, during the time he was anchoring the CBS Evening News, Cronkite secretly begged liberal senator Bobby Kennedy to run for president and then later interviewed Kennedy about his plans, never disclosing his private pleadings. That's not all, however, Cronkite planted recording devices inside the Republican Party's convention in 1952 and then later had the audacity to go after president Richard Nixon for Watergate.
. . .
People close to Cronkite knew he was liberal, and knew about his ethical lapses. But they covered for him – and were successful in doing so because there was no alternative to the corporate liberal mass media back when Cronkite ruled the airwaves.

Even liberal Democrats, though they likely wouldn't have admitted it publicly, realized that Cronkite was a liberal. They even considered nominating him to be the running mate of disastrously liberal presidential candidate George McGovern. The anchor apparently was not asked during the campaign, however, on the fear that he might say no. Asked later if he'd have refused, however, Cronkite said “I'd have accepted in a minute; anything to help end that dreadful war.”

That's the real news in the new Cronkite biography, a story showing how today's media landscape is a vast improvement over the days when three TV networks and a few elite newspapers controlled the news.

Given the facts revealed in Brinkley's book, Cronkite's career simply would not survive today under the scrutiny and withering criticism he would no doubt receive from countless grassroots new-media news outlets and independent bloggers.

What was a liberal doing imposing George HW on the Republican ticket, I wonder? Hardly to get some liberal policies pushed through. Or was this already Bush-Clinton-type cronyism at work?

Bingo!
I think you've got it.
There's something very odd in this story... if it is true.



There are rumors about the Bushes and Clintons going back a long. long way

Journalism - Whores Everywhere,
Swinton Was Right
John Swinton on the 'Free Press'
5-25-7

One night, probably in 1880, John Swinton, then the preeminent New York journalist, was the guest of honour at a banquet given him by the leaders of his craft.

Someone who knew neither the press nor Swinton offered a toast to the independent press. Swinton outraged his colleagues by replying:

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.

There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print.

I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with.

Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.

The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread.

You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?

We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Wow.
Honest and strong.
We need a lot more of that in the MSM

[ulli]

We must always remember that members of the elite hold more knowledge than the masses do,
and yet none of them know it all, due to the compartmentalisation of that knowledge.

If there is one thing the cronies at the top do know, however, it is that there is always someone higher and still more knowledgeable than themselves.
And these people are completely hidden from public view.
I loved how they hinted at this in the movie Contact, where there was this guy living in a space station in outer orbit.

In 1984 I met Harry Evans, now Sir Harold Evans. He was one of the most trusted journalists in the UK, as the editor-in-chief of the Sunday Times. Then one day the Times was taken over by Rupert Murdoch.
Murdoch and Evans clashed over ethical questions, and Murdoch created a long-term plot to get rid of Evans, and so he took him out of his job as editor of the Sunday Times, and made him editor of the Times, the daily paper, instead where he was no longer surrounded by his own staff, who had all been loyal to him, and so he began to feel alienated, and one year later he resigned.
He wrote a book called Good Times/Bad Times...After publishing the book he decided to take a holiday in Barbados, where I was
living, and he and his wife Tina Brown came to stay at my then in-law's hotel, and we had dinner together. He later came to my home and had me read his chart, and we discussed many, many things. At that time I was already aware of Murdoch's dark and satanic agenda, (my conspiracy antenna has been active since 1978) while Evans still thought that Murdoch was all about money, and only about money. He called him a gangster, and I said, no, he is far, far worse than that. He represents an agenda that wants to dumb people down purposely with the ultimate goal of enslaving the entire human race. But I couldn't get my point across properly... Harry Evans wasn't ready.
But still, it was clear to me that both Tina Brown and Harry Evans were the finest most trustworthy journalists I had ever had the pleasure to meet.


He was still haunted about having left his family and married Tina Brown, who was 25 years younger than himself. He met her when she was 18, and had to present her with a prize for having written a brilliant playwright while studying at Oxford. He later taught her the ropes...how to be an editor, and she promptly revived the Tatler magazine, where she was working at the time I met her.

While in Barbados they get a call from New York, that Tina had been offered the job as editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, and so they had to cut their holiday short. But in a very short time I had known them both I learnt a great deal about the responsibility and ethics and balancing act a good journalist had to perform.
When they asked me what I believed we are here for, and I replied, "to develop virtues" they both spontaneously replied with one voice: "Exactly!!"

That's quite wonderful, Running Deer.
And a nice cameo with Walter Chronkite.
I will watch the rest, when I have time.

(The excerpt makes me wonder if EC was "tricked" into supporting Bush, and approaching Reagan with his strange threat.)

I could swear the Cronkite character (the man himself?) said 'the ruling crass' - too right.
