I grew up with the guy's voice and face, but really this lionization of Walter Cronkite is ridiculous. More boomer crap. He stood up to the powers that be once in his life. Once. Can anyone give me an example of some other hard-hitting investigative reporting he did? -- it may be that he did some while working for UPI as a youngster, but I can't think of any. He was just a personality, giving warm support to an era that is thankfully dead, when daddy told us on TV what the world was like. That world is gone, and I am so grateful: it was a world that deserved to go. He seems to have been a nice guy, that's really about it.

yours,
