Since we have brought him up, lets' see what Walter had to say about it. (from his autobiography)

"I am proud to the degree to which we kept our evening news free of bias, although on a subject as controversial as the war, we did not get credit from either side for doing so. The conservatives and government supporters thought we had joined the wild-eyed, 'unpatriotic' liberals. The students and other opponents hounded us as mouthpieces for the establishment."

This sounds about right to me.

Yup. Self-serving. Journalists, spies, and military advisors who actually went out to the countryside of South Vietnam from 1960 to 1963 saw the situation clearly.  They were ignored by both parties because the message was politically inconvenient for both parties at the time.

That's just one example.  They all have biases and blind spots, every single one.

Self-serving?  What political agenda did Cronkite pursue?  

Has it ever occurred to you that journalists might not have had access to all the same locations, and at the same times, as spies and military advisers?

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

It's definitely not a crime to report undercover police operations.  Sorry guys.

I bet it is if you are a government employee who is leaking it when the illegals have been declared terrorists.

Yes, If the police or members of the military do things like that, they can be prosecuted.  But are these KCBS guys government employees?.

Regardless, if any American agent is wounded or killed by one of these gangsters because they were warned ahead of time, there’s going to be hell to pay. Not just legally. The moral argument the MSM uses to violate their already flimsy journalistic integrity will not protect them from widespread public contempt. They’re playing a dangerous game to support their political party.
