Walter Cronkite, who was best known for anchoring CBS's evening news from 1962 to 1981, died today at the age of 92.
For years - through the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, Watergate, and the Iran hostage crisis - Cronkite was considered one of the most trusted and respected people in America.
Contrast Walter Cronkite versus what has become of TV news lately. It's not even a comparison.

With Cronkite gone, that leaves Tim Brown to take over the mantle of "the most trusted man in America."
