Walter Cronkite, the 89 year-old American broadcast journalist who was the anchor of CBS News for 19 years, speaking at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, Pennsylvania on Sunday, November 6, 2005, as reported by Ron Devlin in the Allentown Morning Call newspaper.
Cronkite said that he voiced his personal opinion only once in his career, after the North Vietnamese Tet Offensive during the Vietnam war in 1968. In a piece labeled opinion, Cronkite told the nation during his national newscast that the United States should get out of Vietnam. As Cronkite relates the story, President Lyndon Johnson got up from watching the news and told an aide, "If I lost Cronkite, I lost middle America." Two days later, Johnson announced he would not seek re-election.
