Walter Cronkite: 1916-2009

Walter Cronkite has died.
Cronkite had no place in television news - he was television news. He was a superb reporter and a solid anchor on "The CBS Evening News." He reported from battlefields, handled the Kennedy assassination with dignity, and gave Americans a better perspective of their nation and their world. He was the most trusted man in America for all of the reasons and more, a beacon to those who love broadcast journalism and those who now fear for its integrity.
Walter Cronkite was, in a word, a legend.
And that's the way it was. . . . :-(
