Former CBS anchor 'Uncle Walter' Cronkite dead at 92

Quote:Walter Cronkite, the CBS anchorman known as "Uncle Walter" for his easygoing, measured delivery and "the most trusted man in America" for his rectitude and gravitas, has died, CBS reported Friday.

Cronkite was 92.

He was the last of the great newsmen. R.I.P. Mr Cronkite.

Truly one of the best reporters. I doubt there'll be another. He may have been before my time, but his image and presence is inseparable from many moments of history in this country. R.I.P. Mr. Cronkite.

Here's one of his most memorable moments : JFK's assassination:

Sad to hear, he really was one of a kind. May he rest in peace.

He's an icon of Broadcast News. His reporting of the death of JFK is a profoundly sad and honest moment.

Very sad news. R.I.P.

Wasn't surprised he died but still shocking because he's been part of American life for so long. An excellent man and broadcaster. RIP Walter.

The last of truly great newsmen, compared to the newspeak hounds that infect the news nowadays spreading their crap to the lowest common denominator.

R.I.P.
