“Fox News had nothing to do with the Moon Hoax show. It aired on the Fox broadcast network, not on Fox News Channel. This would be like blaming MSNBC for My Mother, the Car! In fact, today the Moon Hoax show is airing yet again, this time on Tru TV–a channel owned by Turner Broadcasting, home of CNN! We reminded Mr Plait that FNC had no connection with the hoax show, but our tweet went unanswered.”

Ouch, Sketchy! That’s a little harsh! He was saying Bah! to all the youngsters who weren’t around back then, not to Uncle Walter! Heck we -ALL- think the only way it would have been cooler would have been if we ourselves were the ones on the Moon. Don’t take it so personally, eh?

Yes DLC, it’s all about you. Not Mr Cronkite. Next time you land on the moon, announce it yourself.

In my teens, I regretted never having the chance to meet Walt Disney in person. I also regret never having the chance to meet the last unbiased, honest reporter, Walter Cronkite.

Cronkite was truly one of the great news-men, and they are a dying breed. May he rest in peace.

Walter Cronkite — the complete and utter opposite of anyone you’ll see on Fox News.

Am I the only one who’ll bring up the negative? He introduced a liberal bias that still infects the media today. His callous disregard for the American troops in Vietnam is simply unforgivable. How hard is it to report on the moon landing? “Apollo 11 has landed” cut to the tape. Possessing a kind, baritone voice and having the ability to both sit and read at once does not make him some amazing journalist.
