And that's the way it is (and forever will be)

Walter Cronkite died today. One of the greatest (or possibly THE greatest) news anchors ever is someone I never got to see bring me the news, but I have watched many many clips of his broadcasting career. The JFK assassination, the Martin Luther King assassination, the moon landing, announcing that the Vietnam War was unwinable. These moments are what he is famous for. He delivered the stories like no one I have ever seen deliver the news. He cared about every story, got his viewers invested and interested. There was a sense of comfort listening to him. The way I love listening to Papa (my grandpa if you have never heard me use that name) telling a story. Any story, it doesn't matter what it is about. I don't know what it is. It just.....is.

He brought the funk (news wise) and will forever be the greatest in his field. Walter Cronkite, dead tonight at the age of ninety two.
