Walter Cronkite has died.

Dammit, DarkAudit... er, I mean Tom Brazelton!

:waah:

This has been a rough summer.

Who was he again?

I keed, I keed! Stop beating me with dull axes.

Shit. I really liked him, especially on that PBS show where he played Ben Franklin...

...and that's not even to mention his impact on the news.

I find it fitting that he died around the anniversary of the Moon Shot.

Too bad that the networks only care about style now, not journalism.

When I was about 6, I watched Cronkite with my dad. I thought it was so cool for a guy to get on the TV and let you know what happened in the world that day. I am still a news junkie because of him.

:waah:
