OT: Walter

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?

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.

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.

It would certainly restore more of my faith in our culture if he WC more.

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).

grumpily yours,

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.

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.
