Walter Cronkite has died at the age of 92, and it’s a mark of how the world has changed since his heyday that not a person under the age of 25 will have any idea who he was—and not a person under the age of 25 has probably ever watched the program that made him, for a time, the most trusted man in America and the most august personage in the news business.

I wondered if he worked for the Politburo’s America Desk.
Another famous Cronkite moment, just to sweep up any unaffected by previous outrages; it was dear uncle Walter who consoled poor Bill Clinton aboard his boat the day after the Lewinsky prime time speech back in ‘98.
R.I.H. Walter

People in journalism have elevated Cronkite to the status of icon. The journalists at AARP would not be an exception.
“A man who said he would welcome the devil at his side.”
He has my FRiend... he has!

I would laugh if it wasn't so troubling at all the lies that he was “unbiased.” The more the news screams it, the more biased you know he was.
Better yet, news sources should just clearly state their editorial perspective and then let us decide.
Like that eulogy.
`ol Uncle Walter has the blood of too many good
men on his hands for me to mourn his passing
Sadly, it would have been so much more appropriate (this man getting away with his written BS on the war sometimes caused me to have doubt if there really was a God), and would have made many of us VETS happier had it been the late 60's
Damn, that was a fine piece of writing, but you forgot to have his passenger, Pelosi, killed when Wally’s boat exploded, the metal shards annihilating Obama’s future mother who was working in the galley. I could go on but you get the drift!
If any one individual could be responsible for losing the war it would be Walter Cronkite.
Given all the news coverage of his passing, it means a lot more to the industry than to many Americans today, particularly those under 40 years old. Hard not to laugh when his time is referred to as “the golden age” of television news. Golden for whom?
Brace yourselves for another two or more solid weeks of Michael Jackson style, over-the-top, tear-jerking, 24/7 TV news wailing and moaning over the loss of another all but forgotten big name from the past.
Meanwhile, Ayatollah Obama and the leftist monkeys and goons in congress will be finishing up their job of ripping the guts out of the American economy and wiping their filthy hands off with the constitution.
But the media will be too busy eulogizing this rabid lefty to report on the theivery and treason taking place in congress. And they won’t bother to report on the part Cronkite himself played in building the hate-flled leftist culture that is now destroying the Republic.

I’m afraid you’re right my FRiend.
Agreed overall that Cronkite was a huge scumbag who shouldn’t be mourned after everything he did, but he was not the father of leftist propaganda in America. That honor, or should I say, dishonor, goes to Walter Lippmann.
And I’d argue he’s even WORSE than Goebbels as well: At least Goebbels was firmly loyal to his country and party when he bleated his lies, was loyal to Hitler and the Nazis, while Cronkite stabbed his fellow Americans in the back in favor of the Vietcong, even backstabbed Lyndon Johnson (since he’s the reason Johnson, as big of a crook as he was, basically decided against reelection). If anything, he’s more of a Tokyo Rose.
