Legendary CBS anchor Walter Cronkite dies at 92

NEW YORK Walter Cronkite, the premier TV anchorman of the networks'
golden age who reported a tumultuous time with reassuring authority and
came to be called "the most trusted man in America," died Friday. He was
92. Cronkite's longtime chief of staff, Marlene Adler, said Cronkite
died at 7:42 p.m. at his Manhattan home surrounded by family. She said
the cause of death was cerebral vascular disease.

He WAS the news while I grew up.  We never watched Huntley/Brinkley or
anyone else.  He was the rock when Kennedy was assassinated, the cheerleader
when we went to the moon.  And he was probably a big part for Johnson not
running for re-election after he spoke out against our continued involvement
in Vietnam.  Most of you probably never saw him as an anchor, if at all.
But he was The Man.  I'll miss him.

I was but a wee pup, but I remember watching him. I remember when he was
switched out for Dan Blather. It was most definitely a downgrade.

Walter Cronkite was not a friend of the common person. He was just the
Dan Rather of the day, lying day in and day out to serve his masters
and Capitalism. You never heard one true word about Bush Sr, Nixon,
Johnson and the CIA murdering John F. Kennedy. Cheerleading for a
bunch of jocks in the defense industry going in to orbit is something
to be expected from a sychophant for power couple with a love for
sicence. He is often credit by being the mainstream talking head to
finally say the Viet Nam war of agression, torture and mass murder was
finally lost by his Imperial Masters. But when Cronkite said this the
ruling class already had decided for itself that the colonial war was
being defeated by the Vietnamese people and Socialism and his role was
to admit failure late in the game. Project Censored dedicated a recent
book to him and he had been an advisor.
