Cronkite was simply better at lying that the rest of 'em.  That was driven home 
to me
during the Three Mile Island thing.  I was working at the Island at the time.  
I'd go
home, turn on the TV and even recognize the TMI that he was talking about.  
Being
involved in a national media event really opens one's eyes to the degree of
fabrication involved.

Huey P. Long.  Tammany Hall.  Ward healers.  The Battle of Athens (TN).  The 
various
Chicago newspaper "print for hire" scandals. Ahem.  Those rose glasses might be 
a
l'il too pink :-)
