Many lauding Cronkite but lets look at the other side. He was a man who said " I'd rather sit on the right hand of Satan." If you research it, communism was a product of the elite of America, one world government promoters. Johnson lied to America to get us into Viet Nam and Cronkite helped him. Edward R. Morrow was another "Com Symp" These people relished the suffering of the Russians. They wanted Americans to live the same way. No, don't hold these American tyrants up. My family came to America over 300 years ago and this not the country they fought and died for.
