Cronkite’s Legacy

Perhaps the best quote I’ve heard in the days since Walter Cronkite passed away on Friday at age 92 came from Ted Koppel:

“You will never again have a day where one man or one woman will say, ‘All right, listen up, America.  I’m gonna tell you what happened.  At then at the end, I’m gonna say, ‘That’s the way it was.’ And you’re gonna believe me.’’”

Sad, but true.
