Walter Cronkite was a prominent figure in the controversy surrounding the Vietnam War, particularly after he aired a critical report in 1968 following the Tet Offensive. His statement that the war was likely unwinnable and called for negotiations shocked many Americans and shifted public perception, as Cronkite was a trusted news anchor. This moment is often cited as a turning point in the media's role in shaping public opinion about the war and exemplifies the impact of journalism on political and social issues.
