Walter Cronkite has been old for a really long time.
So long that he thinks it's a good idea to poke fun at people who stutter in front of a room of reporters.
So long that he remembers when the network news operations weren't required to make money.
So long that he thinks the effort of news operations to make money does not affect content.
So long that virtually every story he told at Winter TV Press Tour 2006 Sunday he'd told a dozen times before.
At age 89, Walter Cronkite hasn't been the anchor of the "CBS Evening News" since 1981, but no one has ever replaced him as The Most Trusted Man in America. And so his appearance at the tour to tout PBS's July "American Masters" biography on him drew The Reporters Who Cover Television to him like Jedi trainees at the feet of Yoda, gobbling up his every word on the state of journalism, politics and the war in Iraq:
Mr. Cronkite, can you talk about how that weekend you did a marathon anchor stint during the Kennedy assassination changed the way news is covered?

He's senile. What's up with these old guys, anyway? Both he and Murtha are off their rockers.
It's just exacerbated by age. They've been nuts a long time.
Cronkite was and is a lying SOB and he is one reason for the downfall of the dominant northeastern establishment media.
LOL. Perfect.
And they are going down HARD, thank God.
Drivel then, drivel now.
Drivel now accompanied by drool.

He gave Bill Clinton a woodie. Doesn't that count for something? |
LOL. We know it wasn't Hillary!
It just goes to show you where the RATS & MSM are...they lean on the words of a feeble-minded old fool!!
Never too old to hate the country that made him a multimillionaire, I guess.
Crank-case will go to his death with the blood of millions on his hands, and answer for it there.
There is at least, some satisfaction in remembering that...
Did you read the end of the article, about the Miss America Pageant. The bathing suit competition is about "health and fitness." HA! And my Debbie Does Dallas DVD is about travel in the Lonestar State.
"It really is!"
In his prime, he was a very respected journalist back when there was such a thing.
Egads, he was old during the Kennedy assassination.
If so, they have been senile for thirty plus years. They are perfect examples of liberals thinkng they know more than we and as Hillary said, they will take things away from us for our own good.
