Yes, Cronkite is a real gentleman and I would expect him to say no less.

Still, what I have observed happen to this country for the last 8 years, not to mention the election of 2000, has caused me to have nothing but contempt for the corporate news in this country. They have watched from the sidelines as this nation's treasures were pillaged, sons and daughters were sent wrongfully to war, and the constitution has been trampled upon by the regime.
None of this could have happened if people like Russert weren't negligent in their duties. I can't blame a man like Russert completely, for he played ball within and for a power structure that discourages shaking too many branches. There is no mystery to a lot of this stuff that has gone on, just a lot of covering up and journalists who just want to keep their six or seven figure salaries because it is oh so much easier that way.
Like I said, he was not even the worst of the bunch but that isn't saying much.
