Good night, Mr. Cronkite

by Harry Haller at 9:05 pm

Walter Cronkite is dead at 92. It will take several days for me to get enough distance from the event to write about it. It feels as bad to me as the day John Lennon died. In a very real way Cronkite’s passing represents for me the death of any sort of integrity in television journalism, and maybe in journalism as a whole.
