Does anyone think Walter Cronkite will get more press time than Michael did?
Who had a greater impact on our history, not just the way it was presented?

Weh! ... As the young CO of an arty battery, I was once obligated to shake his hand while he was on a tour of RVN ... I'm still washing that sucker!

But somehow several million Vietnam vets lining up to piss on his grave doesn't seem the sort of thing that would be popular with the news people.

At least he admitted the error of his ways and in some small way, tried to do something about it with his service to the World Bank.

There was a time when real journalists dispensed real news via the various media. At one time we could choose between Cronkite, Howard K. Smith and Huntley/Brinkley on the major networks. Now we have Limbaugh, Beck, Olbermann, O'Reilly, and the like. If it wasn't for the News Hour and the BBC there would be no news at all.
In 100 years, I would guess that musicians would recall Jackson's work and historians that of Cronkite (and probably Jackson).

Cronkite said his ideal death would be in the arms of his 20-year-old mistress on his 60 foot yacht.
He wife replied it would be more likely to be in the arms of his 60- year-old mistress on his 20 foot yacht.

Public acceptance of an adult male sleeping with a 9 year old boy is interesting but has far less impact than a left wing, socialist SOB like Walter Crankcase pretending to be an honest newsman when in fact he was laying the groundwork for anti-Amerikan mass media spreading their left wing socialist propaganda over the air waves.
He is probably more responsible for an anti Amerikan socialists like Obama, Bush, Clinton and Carter being elected than even ACORN.
Personally, Cronkite should have been aborted 92 years ago.
