| 28. Very early in the Viet Nam war Cronkite was a cheerleader. |
|
The best example of his cheer-leading was the segment he did from Danang when he flew a combat mission in a B-57 Canberra bomber (ca. 1965). It was not until February, 1968 (after the Tet Offensive) that Cronkite admitted, on the CBS Evening News, that it did not look like we were winning in Viet Nam. Of that admission, LBJ said,"If I've lost Walter Cronkite, I've lost Middle America."
