Actually if you were around then the righties hated Cronkite because his show had segments about Americans getting killed in Vietnam almost every night in the late 60s. Their claim was he was poisoning the US against their patriotic duty to support the USA right or wrong. Very similar argument to Trump today and his fake news claims-when he is really beefing about the news showing the true facts.

PS-sorry for the editorial comment in this thread but this particular post was basically an editorial as well.

which of course was not true at all.......Cronkite was Cronkite and all he did was report the news!
Vietnam was the thing back then and it needed reporting!

And yet, if we were to bleed Jeff Bezos dry, we would not even make a dent in the national debt.

Maybe our problem isn't rich people, maybe its a total lack of comprehension as to how the government works and how Americans live.

so much wealth in the hands of 1 person is a problem imo, hoarding does no one any good
