I don't think I can explain what Cronkite meant to anyone in their late 30s or older, who actually ever saw the news. It seems impossible today, but Cronkite really was the most trusted man in America; if he reported something, you believed it. He *WAS* the News. I am sure Lyion and Martrae can comment further on this.
An absolute massive loss to the journalistic community.
