Walter Cronkite, perhaps the last man we could trust in news, is dead

It was exactly one month ago that Gail Shister entered the race to be “first” to call Walter Cronkite’s pending death.  I almost wrote a blog post last week wondering whether Shister felt at all macabre that the “most trusted man in America” was still alive, until I realized it would conflict with an earlier post I wrote.

NPR has an excellent obituary that I recommend you read. Also, check out Haikuku‘s ode to Cronkite.  I’ve missed journalists of his caliber for years, so my mourning is tempered.
