This is a loss. Walter Cronkite is my earliest memory of a newsman and to this day, he represents an integrity which is rare today and seems to be of the past in the media. I was very, very young, but I still remember him reporting the death of John Kennedy, taking off his glasses, wiping them and clearing his throat...with tears in his eyes.

In France, they have been talking about the first moon walk constantly this week, and I very much remember watching that with Walter Cronkite as commentator.

It's the excerpt they showed at the 13:00 news bulletin of France 2.

Walter Cronkite was a journalist, not a reader of the news. We have so few true journalist anymore. He was fair, neutral and a real classy human being. Sad, my contemporaries are slowing leaving and with them goes a connection to a time and place that has passed and it will never be like that again. God, I sound like my mother!!!!
