More quotes by Walter Cronkite
Everybody knows that there's a liberal, that there's a heavy liberal persuasion among correspondents.
Walter Cronkite
We know that no one should tell a woman she has to bear an unwanted child. We know that religious beliefs cannot define patriotism.
Walter Cronkite
It is not the reporter's job to be a patriot or to presume to determine where patriotism lies. His job is to relate the facts.
Walter Cronkite
I am neither Republican nor Democrat. I am a registered independent because I find that I cast my votes not on the basis of party loyalty but on the issues of the moment and my assessment of the candidates.
Walter Cronkite
I am a news presenter, a news broadcaster, an anchorman, a managing editor - not a commentator or analyst. I feel no compulsion to be a pundit.
Walter Cronkite
Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.
Walter Cronkite
Old anchormen, you see, don't fade away. They just keep coming back for more. And that's the way it is, Friday, March 6, 1981.
Walter Cronkite
For how many thousands of years now have we humans been what we insist on calling civilized? And yet, in total contradiction, we also persist in the savage belief that we must occasionally, at least, settle our arguments by killing one another.
Walter Cronkite
News reporters are certainly liberal and left of center.
Walter Cronkite
As anchorman of the CBS Evening News, I signed off my nightly broadcasts for nearly two decades with a simple statement: And that's the way it is. To me, that encapsulates the newsman's highest ideal: to report the facts as he sees them, without regard for the consequences or controversy that may ensue.
Walter Cronkite
Not only do we have a right to know, we have a duty to know what our Government is doing in our name.
Walter Cronkite
It seems to me that instead of cutting taxes, we ought to be increasing the taxes to pay off the deficit, rather than let that thing build up to the point where our grandchildren's grandchildren are going to be paying for our period of time and our years at the helm.
Walter Cronkite
People who understand music hear sounds that no one else makes when Frank Sinatra sings.
Walter Cronkite
I think most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal if they're not liberal, by definition of it, then they can hardly be good newspapermen. If they're preordained dogmatists for a cause, then they can't be very good journalists.
Walter Cronkite
I am not a contemplative type, basically. I am much more of an action person and, as a consequence, I look forward to today and tomorrow and what's breaking.
Walter Cronkite
It seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate.
Walter Cronkite
The sweet smell of the South, of Camellias and Azaleas, clings to Beaufort's ancient and historic buildings.
Walter Cronkite
Our task is not to tell the truth we are opinion molders.
Walter Cronkite
We are not educated well enough to perform the necessary act of intelligently selecting our leaders.
Walter Cronkite
I'd like to be a song and dance man.
