On February 27, 1968, CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite closed a special report on Vietnam with a pessimistic assessment of the U.S. war effort. Mr. Cronkite's remarks are often cited as a turning point in American public opinion against the war and credited with playing a role in President Lyndon Johnson's surprise decision a month later not to run for a second term. But American University professor Joseph Campbell, who teaches a class about what's known as the Cronkite Moment, argues the impact of Mr. Cronkite's comments has been vastly overstated and is merely a media myth. • Airs on C-SPAN 3 Saturday, April 10 at 8pm ET • https://www.c-span.org/video/?510335-... • Follow us: • / cspanhistory • / cspanhistory
