A Reporter's Life
Walter Cronkite
Read the autobiography of the most trusted man in America, when newsmen were
actually journalists with integrity rather than propagandists and vacuous
pundits. This man thrilled at the moon landing and cried on air when Kennedy
was assassinated. As Jimmy Carter was elected president, CBS had a feed to
Lillian Carter, who as her son was declared the winner said excitedly to
friends, “I’m talking to Walter!” There isn’t an anchor at any of the
networks or cable channels who could inspire that kind of awe any more.
