Your video, Walter Cronkite covers the First Moon Landing (RIP), has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

From YouTube poster:

John went to USC to witness and ask questions about Katie Couric getting the Walter Cronkite journalism award for her interview of Sarah Palin. He intended to also give away copies of his film but was literally prevented from doing so. He did not go there hoping for or expecting any sort of confrontation, especially with law enforcement. He was simply shocked and horrified by what happened there, as should every freedom loving American. He did absolutely nothing wrong and was handcuffed, detained and literally abused by law enforcement at the event. The video speaks for itself, John will have plenty to say about this very disturbing episode.

When nobody calls you out on your bullshit its easy to just keep bullshitting.

... why can't the interviewer say, "did you notice the 200 pages where it talked about your unethical behavior in regards to pursuing a personal vendetta against a state employee?"

Where the hell is Walter Cronkite when you need him?! He wouldn't take this kinda bullshit from some newbie Governer.

The lack of coverage by big media is, sadly, STRIKINGLY new when you compare it to Vietnam.

Every night The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite showed grisly footage of the atrocities going on in Vietnam. Guys with limbs blown off, body bags, dead children, the works. It's what helped end the war. Today you can go Weeks without even a single -mention- of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. I listen to local CBS radio for morning traffic reports and haven't heard the word Afghanistan in at least a month.

And so thanks to the governments media control, when it comes time for Payback as it surely will, the American sheeple will once again look at each other and wonder "why do they hate us?!"

No surprises here. The consummate gentleman Walter Cronkite must be rolling in his proverbial grave seeing this guy on Fox News.

Just now noticed that Phil Hartman would have been great at playing Bill.

Steve Doocy is the future. He makes Rivera look like Cronkite, and I sort of like Rivera.

Got the following message on the url link at google-"The page you have tried to access is not a valid known user. Please check that you have the correct URL and try again."

it may be a self-link djsunkid....did anyone post this for ya, hapadamien nut??

I don't know how to find the original submitter on Google Vids.....

Hate to ban this cat, someone help the poor Californian.....even though the viddy sucks, now that I suffered a watch....snippy tone there, Cronkite...kinna pushy

I don't argue that Faux News deserves an exposure like this, but I don't like this doc at all. So much of that information, especially the memos, just wasn't damning, but was said in a way that really sounds like it probably is damning, if you're not paying attention to the context. And interviewing Cronkite? Of course he's going to slam Fox if he has the opportunity.

Again, Fox deserves everything they've got coming, but if you're going to do a doc attacking journalistic integrity, you've gotta be unassailable yourself. Downvote.

its pretty funny, and these guys are both news nerds, so I find it highly believable that this Cronkite piece was really making john laugh, which in turn made colbert laugh.

*dead

You have the right to fix and discard, though: http://www.videosift.com/video/Colbert-Stewart-JFK-Check-in-crackup-Cronkite

Making a joke out of Cronkite's announcement of JFK's death...now that takes talent.

Fabulous!

*deep breath* I saw Phillip Glass, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, Iggy Pop, Gorbachev, Christy Turlington, Susan Sontag, Fran Leibowitz, Lani Guinier, Leontyne Price, Charlie Sheen, Jello Biafra, William Wegman and some Weimaraner, Al Sharpton, Walter Cronkite, several faces I damn well know but can't remember the names for, and a whole bunch of Hey! It's That Guy!s

I could have done without Trump and Laura Bush. Trumpie gets by for this being so NY-centric, given this was the spring of 2002, but Laura's presence was pure ass-kissing.
