This review is from: Walter Cronkite Remembers the 20th Century - Television, Politics & JFK (VHS Tape)
Walter Cronkite is not my favorite journalist. He is greatly responsible for our defeat in Vietnam due to his misinterpretation of the Tet offensive. Still, I am obligated to give him credit when it is richly deserved. This particular program is of great value. We learn about how TV impacted our nation's politics and especially in regards to the presidency of John F. Kennedy. Who other than Cronkite had a front row seat during this era of American history? He literally knew, on a professional basis, both JFK and Richard Nixon. I never knew that Cronkite virtually manipulated Kennedy into taking TV seriously. Kennedy agreed to an interview because Nixon had already eagerly accepted Cronkite's offer. He was very uncomfortable the first time and even demanded a second take. Needless to add, soon afterwards Kennedy realized that TV could help him achieve his goals. He became a master of the medium. You must see "Television, Politics, and JFK." It is truly that important.

It is a documentary read, well informed tape. Watching the tape like you have been there, and experience the dark politics of that era. Recommend it.
