NEW YORK (AP) - A CBS executive says retired CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite, "the most trusted man in America," has died at his home in New York. He was 92. CBS vice president Linda Mason says Cronkite died at 7:42 p.m. after a long illness with his family by his side.

He was the face of CBS News from 1962 to 1981, when stories ranged from the Kennedy assassination to Watergate and the Iranian hostage crisis.

I could name drop but I'm tired from Disney and I'll pass.

Suffice it to say he was a very classy man and a Longhorn to boot.

Sorry, but I don't buy the Cronkite mystique. He was a flaming liberal and was on TV during an era when people believed anything the newsman told them. He's as personally responsible as anyone for the sorry state of the mainstream media today.
