Walter Cronkite, of course!

He looked like such an affable, avuncular man when I watched him on the tube in the ‘70s. A paragon of objectivity who spoke with the voice of Authority and Reason. He was a high priest of the Fourth Estate, whose purpose it was to deliver to me unbiased news that was in the public interest, information I needed to know in order to be a good US citizen. News I could trust!

I’ve grown up since then, and my views on Unce Waltie (and TV and newspapers in general) are different. My, how times have changed!
