Walter Cronkite Highlights -- The JFK Assination and the Moon Landing.

[Marty933]

I grew up watching this man. Whenever anything big was happening, you always looked to "Uncle Walter" for the truth about it.

[matt2fresh84]

CNN & fox NEED to learn from walter.....he ALWAYS gave the news profesionally with no political agenda. greatness is walter cronkite

[SuperTennis3]

For 84 years old in this interview i would guess he's at least in his 60s. R.I.P Walter Cronkite.

[WhosCreative]

good-man

[nvshd]

I hate to be "that guy" but Columbus was 500 years ago, not 400.

[emoviebuff87]

A good man....and that's the way he was!!!

[gerrylazlo]

Old school class. No way around it.

[02justSAY]

RIP Walter.

He is on my journalism textbook.

[aidan9]

haha, "I'm not ashamed of that in anyway."

larry king's immediate response, "why should you be?" is so perfect. Cronkite is legend.

[cgrscott]

If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. Walter loved his job and his at CBS.

[OhMaiGosh]

Beautiful voice for a great bearer of all news good and bad. Fucking class.

[manhbx96]

Walter set the tone for news journalism Walter Cronkite the great who I grown to love I love u Walter

[grettoz]

legend

[billyboy19742004]

He's essentially describing the work of a propagandist when he talks about "setting the agenda", and "moulding" information for public consumption. That's what you get if you want information packaged into a coherent narrative. It does have an advantage over a barrage of factoids.

News was also constructed to respect the intelligence of a more politically and socially diverse audience - at least to a degree that sets it far apart from the dumbed-down divisiveness in news today.

[R0NJ0N]

@billyboy19742004 lol i thought that. when he lost his words it was like he was thinking "uh what am i saying"

[billyboy19742004]

@R0NJ0N ha ha you caught that too!

[sissybearsheba]

Gentleman.

[P0PaCap]

R.I.P

[Ikeepitdownhome]

Walter loved Ace of Base

[dougalmac54]

The greatest journalist of our time...God bless you, Walter Cronkite

[JayDG6385]

And the irony now is that most americans trust a fake newsman(Jon Stewart) than any real journalist.

[auerstadt06]

Jon Stewart is more factually accurate than anyone on FOX, even if he is a humorist.

[mjp96]

My young friend's grandpa - who was Latvian, and didn't speak English - always said "Good Night, Walter" at signoff time. I always got a kick out of it at age seven, why, I don't know, but I did.

Good Night, Walter.

[ROBXXXL]

What a great American...Rest in peace, Mr. Cronkite.

[Ikeepitdownhome]

All the disgraceful comments are mine.

[ROBXXXL]

What a great American!! Rest in peace, Mr. Conkite

[siemenstraffic]
