Over the years CBS News has been considered, by many, the most newsworthy network newscast and, by others, liberally biased. Its history has been dominated by its personalities from Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, and now Katie Couric. Ironically, all of these news persons have, after leaving CBS, critiqued television for overemphasizing entertainment values. As you watch this interview with Fidel Castro shortly after taking control of Cuba, does Walter Cronkite exemplify newsworthy reporting or commentary? Does he also exemplify entertainment values at the expense of newsworthy reporting or commentary?

  • I have spent years trying to find Walter's full editorial on Vietnam. Does anyone have it to post. PLEASSEEE!!

  • (Part 1) "If we are to avoid that catastrophe (nuclear devastation), a system of world order - preferably a system of world government - is mandatory. The proud nations someday will see the light and, for the common good and their own survival, yield up their precious sovereignty, just as America's thirteen colonies did two centuries ago...When we finally come to our senses

  • (Part 2) and establish a world executive and parliament of nations, thanks to the Nuremberg precedent we will already have in place the fundamentals for the third branch of government, the judiciary." [Walter Cronkite from his 1996 book: "A Reporter's Life" ]
