What a bunch of horsecrap. I was born in 1960 and my memories of Cronkite are threefold:

1. Hosting “You Are There” on Saturday mornings.
2. His myopic American body count during the Vietnam War.
3 My father proclaiming at a high decibel level that Cronkite was, “nothing but a Goddamn communist” and was to be replaced by John Chancellor and NBC.

by the way...my father was right.

I remember Cronkite in a positive way for a historical TV show, the Twentieth Century, in the early 60s that was good, but the older I became the impressions got worse and worse until the only thing I could say about his public professional image was that at least he wasn't Dan Rather. And I'd still choose him over Katie Couric.

Chancellor was even farther to the left.
