CBS Evening News history: Douglas Edwards (1950-1962), Walter Cronkite (1962-1981), Dan Rather (1981-2005), Bob Schieffer (2005-2006), Katie Couric (2006-2011), Scott Pelley (2011-present). Walter Cronkite, television's greatest news anchor. Douglas Edwards, television's original news anchor. Both pioneers in their own right.

That's the way it was. Real news broadcasters such as Walter Cronkite, Harry Reasoner, Howard K. Smith, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley. The introduction of Baba Wawa for the purpose of winning popularity contests was probably the beginning of the end of that wonderful era.

OMG the staffers have no idea who they're losing. Staffers clapped for mother f***ing Dan Rather...idiots!

What a class act.No fancy graphics,no wow visuals just the news and nothing but.You see Walter was a journlist and not a news reader and worth listing to.

World Federalist Association - Walter Cronkite, NWO, WTF

[jaworskij]

@wiedep I heard on the net the Cronkite was a Bilderberger.

Ah yes, the good old days. Back when news casters and news programs were exactly that. Back when they focused on the profession with visible dignity. Now... turn on any "news" channel - CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, etc. Almost all the newscasters are under 35, *look* very good, are not articulate, are almost never relevant. You could almost interchange the women on the job with porn pieces. And the content....

[sheltv100]

@uhmerikuhn The woman on the job with porn pieces? What do you mean by that?

[spagandtuna]

Why does everyone give this fraud so many free passes. Recent revelations only CONFIRM what a biased non-professional he became. Look, we all love Uncle Walter and when he was good he was really good, but there is no question he crossed the line into non-objectivity and his legacy will be forever compromised for it.

[Hounsfield]

remember that woman on the 911 call about tiger woods? WHAT HAPPENED? remember that? that was funny

[DiegoM1996]

Thanks for sharing. WHAT A CLASSIC!!! All that I was able capture was the audio portion...."backin-the-day.

[snoops71]

I was 9 years old at the time. It was most definitely the end of an era.

[damron13]

And that's the way it is...folks !

[ronjohn21]

I love the way that the legendary newscaster of all time speaks about his last day before leaving the desk
