  • Now that was a great goddamned American!

  • 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!

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

  • I don't have to justfy my openion to the right-wing nut cakes of this country.My openion and the right will just have to live with it.

  • @CB48197 no "fancy grfx" then...

    want to know who he really is? copy & search this, then listen...

    World Federalist Association - Walter Cronkite, NWO, WTF

  • 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.

  • This clip was the last time I saw an actual news broadcastor on TV
