The most trusted man in America...the legend in broadcasting...dead at 92. Joined CBS in 1950...considered the father of television news. Anchored the CBS News from 1962-1981. 40 years ago this week, he reported on man landing on the moon. Former President Lyndon Johnson said during the Vietnam War once he lost Walter Cronkite, we had lost the war. He reported on the death of President Kennedy. One of the highlights of my journalism career was when Walter Cronkite led his newscast with a story I had broken on student unrest at universities in China. He was truly one of the greatest, if not the greatest, journalist of our generation. He will be missed. He will never be replaced. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joe-peyronnin/walter-cronkite_b_238711.html And that's the way it is. |
