Walter Cronkite, the CBS News journalist who defined the role of anchorman for my generation of television viewers, died today at his New York home. He was 96 years old.

There were none better in his profession.

R.I.P. sir.

Amen.

I grew up with Walker Cronkite. He was, without a doubt, the most trusted man in America.

A name known around the world.
