Media's been lying to us for decades!-----The ‘Cronkite Moment’ of 1968: Remembering why it’s a media myth

The ‘Cronkite Moment’ of 1968: Remembering why it’s a media myth

The ‘Cronkite Moment’ of 1968: Remembering why it’s a media myth

In AnniversariesCronkite MomentDebunkingMedia mythsQuotesTelevision on February 27, 2020 at 7:03 pm

"Fifty-two years ago tonight, CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite presented a prime-time report about the war in Vietnam and declared in closing that the U.S. military effort was “mired in stalemate” and that negotiations might eventually offer a way out.

It was a tepid analysis, hardly novel. But over the years, Cronkite’s assessment has swelled in importance, taking on the aura of a vital, media-inspired turning point. It is so singularly important in American journalism that it has come to be called the “Cronkite Moment.

In reality it is a moment steeped in media myth.

Notable among the myths of the “Cronkite Moment” is that President Lyndon B. Johnson watched the program and, upon hearing the anchorman’s comment about “stalemate,” snapped off the television and told an aide or aides something to this effect:

“If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America.” (Versions vary.)

Cronkite’s remarks supposedly were an epiphany to the president, who realized his war policy was a shambles.

The account of the anchorman’s telling hard truth to power is irresistible to journalists, representing a memorable instance of media influence and power.

But Cronkite’s program on February 27, 1968, hardly had decisive effects. 

Here’s why (this rundown is adapted from a chapter about the “Cronkite Moment” in my media myth-busting book, Getting It Wrong):...Read all.

With Ashli Babbitt Killing Shrouded in Mystery, Capitol Officer Who Shot Her Is in Hiding for His Own Safety | RealClearInvestigations
"All told, seven people died in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6. 
But only Ashli Babbitt’s death was directly caused by violence that day. 
She was a rioter killed by a Capitol Police officer, who fired the only shot by any person during the 4½-hour siege. 
Yet the story of who he is and why he opened fire remains shrouded in mystery.
More than six weeks after Babbitt succumbed to a single gunshot wound to the upper chest, authorities are keeping secret the identity of the officer who fired the fatal round. 
They won’t release his name, and the major news media aren’t clamoring for it, in stark contrast to other high-profile police shootings of unarmed civilians...Read all.

Now We Have Our Excuse for Why Biden Can't Do His State of the Union Address On Time - Becker News
"Now, we have an excuse for why there are no current plans to hold the address expected earlier: Domestic terrorists allegedly seek to blow up his address.
“Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman said Thursday that security will remain tight because of intelligence that some militia groups that attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 have threatened to ‘blow up’ the complex when President Biden delivers a joint address to Congress,” the Hill reported.
“We know that members of the militia groups that were present on Jan. 6 have stated their desires that they want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members as possible with a direct nexus to the State of the Union,” Pittman said in testimony before a House Appropriations subcommittee.
...Biden will soon be running upon the longest period of time in the last three decades for a president to wait to give his first State of the Union Address...Read all.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday that big tech is “aiding and abetting” China’s mission for “global dominance.”

“China and big tech, they have a cozy relationship,” Blackburn said. “And they have been allowing the Chinese Communist Party to spew all of their information. I can’t find anywhere they’ve been censored or blocked or banned.”

This Is Not Normal and I Refuse to Pretend It Is
"Can we stop for a minute and recognize the absurdity of what we witnessed in a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee confirmation hearing on Thursday? 
I turned on C-SPAN and could not believe what I was seeing. 
A transgender individual—decked out in makeup, jewelry, an ugly skirt, and a hairdo straight out of a 1980s Twisted Sister MTV video—came before a committee of the U.S. Senate and everyone acted like this was completely normal.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul was the only person on the Senate HELP committee to question Rachel Levine’s radical transgender ideology, which includes chemical (and possibly physical) castration of minor children without their parents’ consent.
...Now is not a time for cowardice. 
It’s a time to stand up and say “this is not normal” and to refuse to go along with the charade. 
The transgender ideology is destroying our culture. 
Denying basic biology in order to pacify a handful of troubled individuals—and elevating those individuals to high positions in government—makes a mockery of truth and morality, and denies what is visible to all...Read all.

California’s Climate Contradictions

"The contradictions of green energy policies are becoming more obvious in the real world, and now comes more evidence in a new study of California’s electricity rates.
 The policies even contradict green climate goals.
...Utilities also need backup power when it’s cloudy, which adds costs. 
Yet the state sometimes has to pay Arizona to take its excess solar power to avoid overloading the grid.
And here’s the kicker: 
Folks with solar panels get paid for surplus power they don’t use—sometimes at two to three times the rate of wholesale power. 
So California pays the well-to-do to generate solar power it doesn’t need and then pays Arizona to take it...Read all.

I'm convinced now more than ever there is a giant lotto ball machine in some leftist nonprofit somewhere. Each ball has a different fictional character on it. On the fourth Thursday of every month, a ball is chosen and teams have to figure out how best to f*** with the character. Bonus points for the speed they're able to bully corporate executives into releasing a statement. The winning team gets free lunch at the culturally appropriate restaurant of their choice.
