Anyhow, I felt about Cronkite about like I do Charles Gibson now. He was an affable, believable, father/uncle-like figure who could convince people that what he was saying was gospel, when he was actually grinding his own axe.
I have the same impression. The MSM is always searching for new and better mouthpieces, and as the general public seems to get duller and more gullible, the mouthpieces get ever more skilled at their craft.
Walter was at his best narrating the New Year's Concerts from Vienna, where is ever increasing goofiness could do little harm.
