little or no harm to others.â
What Cronkite is referring to is the 1990s crackdown on street drug dealers who sell hard narcotics to anyone with money, including children. Simple drug users are rarely sent to prison unless they commit another crime, like robbery, or violate their parole. But meth and heroin and cocaine dealers are sentenced to prison, as well they should be. Millions of lives have been ruined by drug dealers, and Walter Cronkite should be smart enough to realize that.
By the way, one of the big donors to the Drug Policy Alliance is George Soros. If you see him, tell him Walter Cronkite said hello.

Bill Moyers:
Talk about confirmed liberalsâthis guy is the poster boy for the secular-progressive movement in the media. He actually did commentary for CBS News for a number of years. (And CBS wonders why conservatives dislike it? Come on.)
Bill Moyers is the poster boy for the S-P movement in the media.
As the most visible face of PBS along with Jim Lehrer, Moyers has blossomed into an S-P bomb-thrower, perhaps the farthest-left broadcaster in the history of television. Few watched him before he left PBS (his average audience was about 1 million), but the guy lit it up for the S-Ps on his program
Now,
relentlessly attacking the right and cheerleading the progressive movement.
The thing about Moyers is that, unlike Cronkite, he wonât admit heâs a far-left kind of guy. But in the aforementioned
New Yorker
magazine article on George Soros, the S-P banker told writer Jane Mayer that he occasionally gets political advice from Moyers (as well as from Harold Ickes, the Clinton confidant). There is no question that Moyers is a hardened secular-progressive who is almost fanatical in his leanings.
Besides watching a few of his well-done documentaries about working Americans, I had never paid too much attention to Moyers until he started to attack me and the Fox Newschannel. I assumed his PBS program was a secular forum; after all, it was on the Public Broadcasting System, which has been an S-P stronghold for years at taxpayersâ expense.
But after Moyers threw some bombs my way, I began to research him. Behind his public image as a âjournalist,â Moyers runs a foundation that doles out fairly significant money to left-wing organizations like TomPaine.com, which was conveniently run by his son, John. TomPaine routinely attacks Republicans and warns that the United States is on the verge of becoming a totalitarian state. So, while the taxpayers were footing the bill for Bill to bloviate on PBS, he was funding liberal causes behind the scenes. Shouldnât PBS have made that public in the interest of fairness? Maybe we should ask Walter Cronkite.
I could list far-left âMoyerismsâ all day long, but let me give you one very offensive observation Moyers made on
Now.
The date was February 28, 2003: âI put it on [he is referring to a flag lapel pin] to remind myself that not every patriot thinks we should do to the people of Baghdad what bin Laden did to us.â
Yes, you read that right. Bill Moyers believes that removing Saddam Hussein and setting up a system where the Iraqi people actually have the opportunity to freely elect their leaders is akin to a sneak attack by terrorists that killed three thousand American civilians. This über-liberal icon draws a comparison between the butchery of Osama bin Laden and the coalition action. Even if you oppose the war in Iraq, you must find that comparison odious and inaccurate if you have any perspective at all. Bill Moyers is quite simply Michael Mooreâs older brother as far as ideological thought is concerned. He is a true believer and ardent supporter of the secular-progressive movement. But heâs also a man who commands respect in elite media precincts, winning all kinds of prestigious awards.
Iâve tried many times to get Moyers on
