Jounalism has truly died.

With the passing of the great journalist Walter Cronkite we can now officially pronounce the death of American Journalism.

How many Americans knew Mr. Cronkite was a left-leaning card carrying Democrat? Very few if any! Walter understood the role of the press and the power of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Walter Cronkite left his political leanings at home so he could provide America with the truth regardless of the outcome or political fallout.

Today ABC, NBC and CBS have chosen to side politically with the far-left. Fair and Balanced reporting have been cast aside in favor of a Socialist agenda!

We know why Benedict Arnold committed treason. What is more difficult is why Charles Gibson of ABC, Brian Williams of NBC, and Katie Couric of CBS have chosen to follow in Benedict Arnold's footsteps? All are receiving $Millions to host their respective newscasts which could explain their refusal to provide fair reporting. Perhaps all three and the stations they represent have socialist beliefs.

What Americans do understand is that ABC, NBC and CBS have abandoned their responsibility to the public and have violated the true purpose of the First Amendment. In my opinion, a majority of the press has sided with the political left for financial gain and power. All are willing to throw this great country under the bus for their personal benefit.

Rest in peace and God Bless Mr. Cronkite; journalism is going to be missed.
