  • Now, they've got Morgan Freeman opening for Katie Couric, with the James Horner theme to go along with it.

    Has television news gone Hollywood?

    I love Cronkite's voice-over best!!!!

  • Cronkite is surely be missed, and so is his opening voiceover. Such dignity Walter brought to the contemporary CBS Evening News.

    Uniting two conflicting sides (Sadat and Begin in 1977), experience before joining CBS News, straight news, etc; Couric is working her damndest to bring that Cronkite power to today's TV News (sensationalism, bias, negativity, etc).

  • Couric was interviewed by John King ,who was sitting in for Larry King.She was talking about Cronkite,she said ( You know ) at least 30 times.Walter was ,you know, a real ,you know, great, you know guy.And this twit throws stones,what a rookie.Fucking lib cunt,she will pay the price for getting Obama elected.Impeach Obama ,he is the Devil.Couric is a joke .

  • I have a much higher appreciation and respect for Katie Couric after watching this newscast.  Rest in peace Walter and thanks for always sharing the truth. With much respect,...Mark

  • Walter Leland Cronkite Jr., Born November 4, 1916, in St. Joseph, Missouri, became a United Press correspondent in 1939.

    Cronkite flew on the first bombing raids over Germany in a B-17 and Landed with the 101st Airborne Division at Normandy .

    The First True Major News Network "Anchor" to reported on location during the Vietnam War.

    Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1981. Cronkite was the most trusted News Reporter in America...

    Dead Today, and That's "the way it is", July 17, 2009.

  • Indeed, the most trusted man in America, we need to find more like Mr. Cronkite. Thanks for sharing!

  • The Beatles were introduced to American television on the CBS morning show on 22 Nov. '63. The clip was supposed to be rebroadcast by Walter that evening, but it was pre-empted due to the Kennedy assasination. In early Decenber of that year, he felt that the country needed a sort of good-news uplift, so he featured that clip. As soon as the news broadcast was finished, Ed Sullivan called and asked "who are those boys?". The rest is history...
