Transitions — Walter Cronkite

[jseal]

Walter Cronkite, the CBS News journalist who defined the role of anchorman for my generation of television viewers, died today at his New York home. He was 96 years old.

There were none better in his profession.

R.I.P. sir.

There were none better in many other professions too.


He was a true American icon.

Rest in peace, Mr Cronkite.

Rest in peace, Mr Cronkite.

Amen.

I grew up with Walker Cronkite. He was, without a doubt, the most trusted man in America.

So widely respeced, news anchors in some counties are called "Cronkiters".

Few politicians can say that.
