Walter Cronkite died and I'm bummed. He hasn't been in public view for 28 years now, but it was always reassuring knowing he was alive somewhere, monitoring the world. He's the last of the journalistic greats. No one even comes close to him. I'm too young to remember him at the height of his career, but his voice made an impact on my childhood memories. He carried such authority and authenticity. He never offered an opinion unless asked and always doublechecked the veracity of his stories. And he was a great storyteller.
When I watch the crap that is called news on cable, I wish the producers would replay the old CBS tapes to find out what a true journalist is.
And that's the way it is.........
R.I.P. Walter........
