He knew how to tell the news.

And that's the way it was. RIP.

I am old enough to *just* remember the Cronkite era (maybe three-four years' worth).

It was only in later years that I learned about how he "spun" Vietnam...but I'll put that aside for now.

RIP Mr. Cronkite! I've watched and enjoyed you as long as I can recall...

I will say that his on-air delivery was unparallelled.

Anchored CBS News from 1962 until 1981 - a true Americon icon. RIP, Mr. Cronkite.

I agree. The orginal spin-meister. I'll let him rest in peace though and let history judge his approach. Well said.

RIP Walter!!

Re: RIP Walter Cronkite
 

Myself being born in 1953 I have a great respect & sense of gratitude for his body of work. He was man of great integrity.

I know he will rest in peace with the other news casters from my youth Chet Huntley & David Brinkley.

May he rest in peace.

We have lost a Legend today. RIP.

I missed him the day he stepped down, and I was a kid.
It's never been the same since. The very last place I'd ever look for the truth about anything nowadays is on the news.
He was a good man.

I don't remember watching another entire 1/2 hour of news after he stepped down. RIP.
