Walter Cronkite was worried about the future of Journalism with good reasons!

[FrenchieCat]

Now watch all of the talking heads talk about him on television
and write about him in the newspapers,
and pretend that have been acting as journalists.....when we know they haven't.

They should be ashamed.....

A giant is gone,
and all that is left are mainly tiny journalism mental midgets.

An era totally gone,
and nothing substantial to replace it other than a handful of Internet journalists
who are resented when they even dare ask a question of the current President.

RIP WALTER CRONKITE :cry:

RIP ERA OF ACTUAL JOURNALISM

1. Yes, with good reason! Fox News alone proves how valid his concerns were. n/t

2. *heartbroken* I fear we will never see his like again.

3. Can't wait to hear Bernie Goldberg's eulogy. That should be a real winner. n/t

Walther this, Walter that...

How much duct tape and plastic sheeting did he ever sell in his career

:)

4. The sad things is, the "talking heads" have learned NOTHING from his career.

The last of the TRUE journalists has died.

[FrenchieCat]

5. They didn't learn, because they aren't paid to know these things.

[AngryOldDem]

6. And for that reason, I consider true journalism to have died today as well, n/t

[FrenchieCat]

8. It died long ago, but we still had the remnants of what it used to be like.....

now, we will only have a tombstone and some old footage. :cry:

I wish his death could get people to understand that the current crop
of what we see on television are all pretenders who aren't even fit to lick
the ground that Cronkite walked on.

7. I really want to hear what Andy Rooney has got to say.
