Walter Cronkite: Dead (age 92) (bumped And Commented)

The New York Times [1] is reporting the death of Walter Cronkite:

Walter Cronkite, an iconic CBS News journalist who defined the role of anchorman for a generation of television viewers, died Friday at the age of 92, his family said.

Mr. Cronkite had been reported to have been in ill health.   His passing was not unexpected.

Addendum and bump:(Eric)

With all the drooling going on from the press telling us what a great man Cronkite was, I have a question, which I hope to bring us back to reality. You know… the real world.

Would it be speaking ill of the dead to remind everyone the extreme [2] screaming  leftist [3] Cronkite was? We get complaints all the time when we make comments like this, but damn it, is it bad to speak ill of the dead when it’s the truth?

Let’s be careful who it is we are paying homage to, here, folks.
