RIP: Walter Cronkite

 

What an icon.  They don't make `em like him anymore.  Trusted, sincere, above rapproach.  In an age where entertainment masquerades as news (Jon & Kate, anyone?) and vice-verse, Walter Cronkite kept the lines distinct.   News was never the same after Walter Cronkite retired and with him goes an era of trust and credibility.

He is one of the greats.  He could be trusted as a reliable source.  Mr. Cronkite will be sorely missed.

Re: RIP: Walter Cronkite

Curious: any of our Canadian visitors, do you have a "Canadian equivalent" to a Walter Cronkite, past or present?  A news anchor that is just considered very authoratitive, above reproach, etc?

Walter Cronkite was the best!   So sad he passed away.
