Walter Cronkite Dead – CBS News Anchor An Icon Of American Culture

http://ift.tt/2c99EQY

A few minutes ago, a part of me passed away: Walter Cronkite died. It’s now 5:21 PM PST as I write this, and it’s as hard in its way as the passing of Michael Jackson was almost exactly two weeks before.

I’m not going into a long blog post about his stats, just what I remember. Walter Cronkite was American Culture of the time, and the way many have wanted it to be, I think: smart, smooth, certain, definite, classy, and professional. I watched him through my childhood and remember feeling robbed when he was forced to retire in the mid-80s.
