I do hope that his example will be emulated by future generations of news reporters, since Walter Cronkite truly was a news legend.
RIP Walter Cronkite...

Cronkite was hardly impartial His blatant lies about the NVA "victory" during the Tet Offensive cost the US support for the war and led to the eventual defeat and the genocide that followed. His agenda against the war caused him to spin a huge victory into a crushing defeat which became a self fulfilling prophesy after that.
He may have done some good work but he was hardly impartial.
