When I was really young, I was supposed to keep the TV on one channel, and one channel only. It has Lost in Space, Hogan's Heroes, all this stuff.
I was like four. But then I would always switch it and watch Walter Cronkite report about the Vietnam War. Which eventually fucked with me.
I was all jammed up about it, and I remember late at night bothering my mother and father about it. Am I going to die in the Vietnam War? Are you? Are the VC going to take over?
Then my mom knew I was changing channels and spanked me. But I kept turning to Cronkite anyway.

Then Cronkite went to Vietnam and saw the war himself. His reporting changed public opinion against that war.
