Presidential historian and author of “Cronkite” Douglas Brinkley reveals how Walter Cronkite managed to seem like an impartial newsman while still being a liberal during his career as an anchor. Brinkley says Cronkite was an FDR, New Deal Democrat his entire life. Cronkite “was very concerned that liberals seemed not to be bold enough.” He was very pro-Roe vs. Wade, for global human rights… He affiliated himself mightily with the Democratic Party once he wasn’t anchoring anymore.
