Walter Cronkite on CNBC's "The Dick Cavett Show", March 4, 1994. The second quote is from the same show, minutes later:

I think one of the absolute worst historical sins committed in recent years was that Oliver Stone thing on J.F.K., the assassination of J.F.K. That totally distorted a major historical event. It indicted people for whom there's no evidence that indictment is required. It suggested conspiracies that nobody has ever established or proved.

Some of us were called in by Caspar Weinberger, when he was Secretary of Defense. This was after Grenada, after the Grenada invasion, which again was not covered. We don't know the full story today. No reporters got in for three days. I don't know whether we really found a warehouse full of AK-47s there or not. Maybe we planted them there. I'm not saying we did, but we had three days to do it if we wanted to because we had no reporters get there at the beginning.
