Dan Rather, who succeeded Walter Cronkite on the "CBS Evening News" in 1981, recalls the career of the late anchor, and comments on "liberalism" in journalism as Cronkite saw it.
That 1996 interview is the only time you see Walter Cronkite without a mustache. At least he admitted to being liberal, but he was a great journalist. The only guys to top Cronkite were David Brinkley, Edward R. Murrow (Walter's teacher), and Douglas Edwards (first CBS News anchor). Other than that, Cronkite was great. Dan Rather wasn't too bad, but lost his job at CBS on the Bush files. RIP Walter Cronkite.
People rip Chris Matthews all they want for all his foibles, his leg tingling, but Cronkite would never have spent time with him as a relative unknown if he didn't have talent. If you wanna rip someone then how about that pussy David Gregory?

I think Cronkite was talking about Dan Rather when he referenced "idiots"

Walter Cronkite ripped Rather after Rather took his spot.
Wasn't Rather busted parading a fake document on the news?
...and Matthews had a tingling when he heard Obama.
