I am so relieved to read this article and the numerous supporting comments following it. The love fest of the media since Conkrite’s death led me to think I had dreamed the many comments and positions of this far left news reader who had fooled the public for manY years. Thank you Mr. Kimball and look up Accuracy in Media’s Cliff Kincaid’s article “The Terrible Truth about Walter Conkrite.” The public is fortunate he retired as soon as he did and got off the airways with his fraud.
