RIP Walter Cronkite dead at 92

No, I’m not going to get into the whole I liked Cronkite, or I didn’t. The main reason for this post is that its as Hotair says, a basic human sympathy thing. Compared to the “journalists” of today, while Cronkite was a liberal, he never let it show (aside from Vietnam) and affect in his reporting like the piles of trash of today. On the other hand, Cronkite’s death will probably turn the news coverage into Michael Jackson light for the next week, Fox News already wiped out Hannity and O’Reilly tonight because of this. So unless you are into the whole 24/7 news cycle thing of an “icon” I suggest you get your Netflix account up and running for the next week or so. Here are a couple of his more memorable news clips:


Walter Cronkite announcing the death of JFK on November 22, 1963


Walter Cronkite announcing the death of MLK in Memphis, TN April 4, 1968

    Fuck Cronkite, I’m glad he’s dead and may he burn in Hell

    Amen. Overblown and boorish…those two terms sum up Cronkite. I see now where George Looney “hates” the world without Conkrite. Perhaps he should join him?
