If anyone is interested, on Friday night, channel Decades @ 8:00pm, there will be a special called, Eye on the World, The Rose of Walter Cronkite.

I enjoyed Walter's work with You Are There. Wonder why these history based shows aren't re-run.

I always thought of Walter Cronkite as a REAL newscaster.  The one's today....ugh!  Plain and simple...ugh!

I will never forget the day he told the nation that President Kennedy was shot and was dead. He took off his glasses and wiped his eyes. He was truly one of the best.

If you get a chance to read his autobiography- do it!

Walter Cronkite was a big deal when I was growing up.  I remember watching him and also Huntley and Brinkley.  They are no newscasters today that even come close.  Well maybe Rachael Maddow she seems to facts to back up her segments.

In case you are searching for it, it is The Rise of Walter Cronkite, not  rose.

@StylishLady@sunshine45My guess is history has changed over time  and what we'd see on the re-runs wouldn't track with what is being taught today.

@Annabellethecat66For the most part pretty faces who can barely read and don't know the word "preparation."

There are exceptions, of course.
