One of the most destructive propagandists in American history. My sympathy goes out to those who loved him and have experienced a sense of loss.

Who cares. He is just an old man. He should have submitted to end his life years ago.

He’s lucky he died before Obama care set in.

I’m obviously in the minority here, but these are some pretty harsh comments. Yes, he was a liberal in his personal beliefs but with few exceptions, he adhered to a standard of journalism that has been lost. Everyone has personal beliefs, it’s whether they allow them to affect the way they do their job that counts.

I’m not defending him, I didn’t know him personally, but when I think of how what we now call the MSM has damaged this country and continues to do so day after day, I’d welcome the likes of Uncle Walter back into the anchor chair.

I was one of those who watched and trusted his CBS Evening News. With all that has been revealed since the widespread use of the Internet, I now wonder how badly I was fooled.

The world kept on turning after he retired, and will keep on turning now that he’s dead. How important does that make him?

And, he won’t get a fraction of the coverage given to the child molester who just died.

Here comes another Michael Jackson type over play to hide the impending danger of Obama’s policies. Cronkite was a commie in his own right they will use his death as a tool to slide these things through.

Should be Christian but, I’m so glad that this commie bastard’s dead. He has the blood of every man & woman who died in Vietnam on his hands. Hope he has a good explanation for St. Peter.

Great, this gives the Communist News Network(s) an excuse to not cover what is most important to the american people, the economy and the Kenyan in the WH.

Say hello to Pol Pot Howard and all the communist leaders of Vietnam you gave aid and comfort to.

His declaration from the CBS anchor chair that the Vietnam War was lost, (post Tet 0ffensive,) gave the North Vietnamese and the anti-war movement added propaganda to use against America.
He was a traitor and I’ll shed no tears for him.

CBS has yet to cut into their silly shows to do a larger commentary.However Fox and Cnn and Msnbc are going with comments from people who worked with him
Is it any wonder CBS has no viewership?
Where is Curic? in Martha's vineyard? I might not have thought about him in a few years but he made CBS millions yet they do not cut got into Ghost Whisperer?Don Hewitt had to comment on FoXnews.CBS stinks.

Americans loved Walter Cronkite. They put faith in him as they might a family member with loads of compassion toward others (the community).

Americans were 'emotionally' bound (and thus let their liberal side prevail).

Communitarians with bleeding hearts likely opened the door for the 'marxist' collectivists who now are calling the shots. Did I say, "likely",? What I really meant was: bet your ass, they did.

Imagine a news icon relating the story of rugged individualists fending off urban spawned criminals, leading eventually to full social acceptance and application of the second ammendment.

If I thought that's all it would take (playing on people's emotions) to get us back on track, I'd help pay the cost of plastic surgery for someone who's 'image' would have to proceed the message.(Meghan Kelly perhaps, 'cause no surgery necessary but- could use a serious 'news' icon 'boost'.)

I'm embarrassed to admit I live in TV Land. But I'm not too stupid to realize it's potential when it comes to reaching 'the masses'. (I don't think this was a hump the Founding Fathers ever envisioned, btw.) TV is not just for emotional women with hormone issues, so why does our national policy on almost everything seem predicated on such?

I'll tell you why: there's been a collective banning of Power to the Penis. That's right. We're living in the era of the Vagina Monolouges.

We can't tell someone they're on their own with six kids living in a ghetto, 'cause we "have no penis". We can't tell a student to look for a job the government hasn't created because "we have no penis". We can't even tell the State to "Go to hell, we're not paying anymore taxes" because we have no penis. By now, some are probably made ill by my refrences to a body part, but let's face it, much of America is run by, and headed on a course suitable to, those 'without' one. Think about it.
