Newsman Walter Cronkite has died. He was 92.
I grew up listening to Walter Cronkite and Huntley & Brinkley. This makes me very sad. Kronkite was a true journalist, a reporter of the highest standards. He reported the news with the facts and let his listeners interpret for themselves. We never knew his politics until long after he retired.
In a time when newsreaders have replaced reporters and talking heads speak whatever they see on the teleprompter, Cronkite set a standard they will never be able to achieve. He will be missed.
Rest in peace, Mr. Cronkite.
