  • ...I'm just sorry we didn't have more time for propaganda and the party line. 

  • This shows how well thought out and conscientious WC was in his approach to the news

  • The new Walter Cronkite is Brian Williams

  • Television news is over. It's all over, as it's so twentieth century.

    And that's the way it is, dooby dooby dooby do!

  • Thanks, Walter. I'm very glad I got to meet him 4 year ago, shake his hand and thank him personally for being the voice of responsible and trusted journalism I looked up to as I was growing up. "That's the was it was."
