I’d say it needs a Freep
He deserved a Walter Duranty award for his reporting.
They should be more specific. “Best” for who? Americans or the NVA and Viet Cong?
He was a disgusting scumbag Rat who started the tradition of pretending to be a :trusted unbiased newsman: when the reality was far different.

To me, Chris Berman is the best anchor.
He was certainly no Ron Burgundy. Stay Classy,,,
Huntley/Brinkley hands down
Depends on your perspective; KGB or freedom lover.
Hey, he influenced hippie saliva to be spit upon returning soldiers and Harry Reid’s “The War Is Lost” speech to highschoolers, so let’s be fair with this poll. After all, he was always fair...wasn’t he?
Walter Cronkite was General Giap’s favorite newsman.
I thought so, when I was young, ignorant and gullible. He had the "undertaker" delivery, which could make reading a recipe sound like a historic event.
I got older and wiser, and Walter came out of the liberal closet.
That changed everything. By then it was obvious to me that Walter thought that he personally was part of the world events, rather than just a reader of news.
The more things change... etc.
Whatever happened to Rather, the "fake but accurate" wannabe Cronkite??
Clearly it is Brit Hume!
Most of the people who frequent the TMZ site have no fricking clue who Walter Cronkite was. These are the same people who accused the Bush Administration of killing Kanye West’s mother when in reality she died from the ineptitude of her care givers after plastic surgery.
The Father of bias news reporting!
Where’s the choice for, “He was a slimy commie who should have been hanged for treason?”
