NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Veteran CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite, long regarded as the most trusted man in America, will for the first time opine in public via a syndidated newspaper column starting in August, distributor King Features Syndicate said Tuesday.

"And That's the Way I See It" will debut on Aug. 3 with Cronkite writing about a wide range of subjects, mainly involving government, politics, the media, and current affairs.

Cronkite, 86, has worked intermittantly since his retirement in 1981, mainly reporting documentaries for CBS and Discovery Channel as well as writing several books.

I hope he gets a radio talk show too so I can not read him AND not listen to him.

...long regarded as the most trusted man in America.

Not for about 30 years.

"And that's the way I see It"

Well, that seems a step in the direction of modesty away from his old line of "And that's the way it is," or perhaps it's just a sign of resigned deference to postmodern sensibilities. On the other hand, he's probably returning to the airwaves to combat what he sees as the pernicious influence of Fox and other "right-wong" media.

Just what the market needs, another liberal columnist.
