If you have the History Channel

[dolo amber]

try your best to catch "Making history with Roger Mudd - A conversation with Walter Cronkite". I'm sure I didn't catch the first run of it Friday night, so it's probably one of those things they rerun occasionally. It will make you smile and want to scream and cry at the state of the media today. Plus Walter makes the obvious comparison between Vietnam and Iraq...and he should know. It's a beautiful interview, and amazingly lefty for the Hitler channel. :hi:


"Making History with Roger Mudd
A Conversation with Walter Cronkite.

In a free-ranging and candid interview, Roger Mudd sits with one-time colleague, CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite. Mudd and Cronkite revisit their shared history at the "Tiffany" network--from dawn of the TV age through the tumultuous 1960s and '70s. Cronkite also digs into his past for harrowing tales from the frontlines of WWII--when he crossed the line between reporter and soldier to shoot at German planes--to the frontlines of Vietnam, when he broke the reporter's rule of neutrality and let America know what he thought we should do about the war. He fought tears the day JFK was killed and fought CBS to deliver the Watergate story. He sets the story straight on his 1981 exit from CBS, and is more provocative than ever as he defines his outlook on the War in Iraq and the state of the news."
