I don't believe that McAdams is Authorized to answer for Walter Cronkite.
Cronkite read what Others Wrote for him.
Cronkite thumbed his nose at 90% of the American people on the JFK
Assassination.

SOMEBODY most definitely "did it" with Oswald's Mannlicher-Carcano
rifle #C2766. That is an irrevocable fact. (The persistent whining and
belly-aching of conspiracy kooks notwithstanding, of course.)
And the overwhelming garden-variety odds are that the "SOMEBODY" in
the above equation was the OWNER of Carcano rifle #C2766 -- Lee Harvey
Oswald.
And anyone who argues with the above Occam's-like logic is a plain
garden-variety fool. (Or is a person who has fallen in love with
Oliver Stone.)

No, it's NOT a fact at all.... You accept it as a fact without
substantiation. If you can prove that the magic bullet actually hit
one of the victims in the Lincoln and was carried to Parkland hospital
in one of their bodies then you would have an excellent point to make
your claim. However we both know that there is NO evidence that will
support that idea. You can accept the Warren Commission's THEORY that
this pristine bullet (CE 399) passed through two victims and hit
several bones as it passed through Connally.... But if you believe
that you should know that it's totally irrational and if you believe
it you might be thought of as the Village Idiot.

Yeah...that's why fragments from a bullet from C2766 were found in the
limo.
It's been said many times before today, but deserves a replay each and
every 24-hour period.....
You conspiracy kooks are the LAST people on the planet who should be
examining the murder of John F. Kennedy.
You can't even figure out if C2766 was fired on 11/22/63, even with
fragments of a bullet from that very gun being found in the car where
Kennedy was shot.
You kooks are truly pathetic.
Cronkite, like all the others in the mainstream media, was a sellout.
He sold his soul so he could be on t.v. When they are praising him
now that he is dead and say he was a man of truth you want to vomit.
The JFK case, and RFK and MLK cases, shows us he was NOT for the
truth, he read and said what his bosses told him to say. He was a
highly paid puppet.
I don't think he had one investigative journalist bone in his body.

You "KOOK-SUCKERS" haven't proven WHEN those fragments were fired ! ! !
You also need to prove if they were fired through CE-139 or the Rifle owned
by Dr. (Urologist) John Lattimer
Most people liked Cronkite-now, you have extremely obnoxious preening
stuffed shirts like O'Reilly & the insufferable Chris Mathews who at
least half the country can't stand,but it doesn't matter with the modern
demographics-70% could think the guys are crap, but when all you need is
a 5 or 6 share it no longer matters.
