With the death of Walter Cronkite, liberals are writing about his wonder.  Yes, he was a national “treasure”.   But they omit some important facts.

Liberals are beautifying Cronkite as an objective journalist…a man who reported only the facts.  They are now comparing him to people like Rush Limbaugh, saying that Cronkite was objective while Limbaugh is not.

This is typical liberal spin.  Limbaugh is a commentator, not a news anchor.  Liberals castigate Limbaugh for offering opinion.  Yet, that is his job.  Cronkite was a news anchor.  His job was to present the news objectively.  Commentators are paid to present their opinions.  News anchors are supposed to just read the news without screening or commentary. 

Since the onset of national news organizations such as ABC, NBC, ABC, and the NY Times, there has been no such thing as objective news reporting.  This was especially true with Cronkite, who was given carte blanche as both anchor and managing editor.  The same was true for Dan Rather, his successor.  Yes, much of the time, they reported facts, but the process of selecting stories was hardly objective.  The elite media has filtered the news through the screen of the reporter/editor.  Generally, that screen has been leftist, as was the case with Cronkite.  Whether they knew it or not, the anchors have been giving us the news that they see fit to read.  Not the full picture and not the full truth.

Now the elite media is whining that the news is being watered down via the internet and via all the other forms of information that we can now receive.  It is about time!

The news is being opened up to Americans.  The Left is always talking about “inclusiveness”.  Well, now we have more inclusiveness than ever when it comes to information.  We can now get more than just a leftist perspective. 

Walter Cronkite was a mainstay of American news for many years. But he was a man who regulated what we got to see and hear.  He had a great voice. But he was one of those who contributed to the weakening of this country.  I don’t think he meant to do that…but he did.

What would be happening right now if ex-president Manuel Zalaya of Honduras had been a conservative instead of a leftist who was trying turn his country into a totalitarian socialist nation?  Would the U.N. be crying foul?  Would our own leftist president be calling for his return to office?  Would the press be lying about his ouster...saying that it was a military coup when in fact it was the result of his trying to override the country's constitution and the appropriate actions of the Honduran Congress?

Remember, President Obama said we would not be interfering in the internal policies of foreign countries. 

Yet, apparently the United States is now siding with unlawful actions by leftists in foreign countries.  Not only is President Obama calling for the return of a leftist totalitarian wannabee dictator in Honduras.  He has declined to strongly consequence the actions of the leader of Iran (an islamofacsist state)  given the illegal elction that occurred in that nation. 

At the same time he is trying to interfere in the affairs of Israel (a democratic state) which is only trying to preserve its sovereignty. 

President Obama seems to be choosing where he will intervene.  And, so far, it has always been on the side of leftist leaders.

We are in big trouble in America.  It is almost July 4.  Our founding fathers must be turning over in their graves.
