More quotes by Walter Cronkite
Be kind to an old man.
Walter Cronkite
If that is what makes us liberals, so be it, just as long as in reporting the news we adhere to the first ideals of good journalism - that news reports must be fair, accurate and unbiased.
Walter Cronkite
I've gone from the most trusted man in America to one of the most debated.
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
News reporters are certainly liberal and left of center.
Walter Cronkite
We're living in a state where no one can trust his telephone conversations, nor even his personal conversations in a room, in a bar or anywhere else.
Walter Cronkite
Our job is only to hold up the mirror - to tell and show the public what has happened.
Walter Cronkite
The battle for the airwaves cannot be limited to only those who have the bank accounts to pay for the battle and win it.
Walter Cronkite
To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past.
Walter Cronkite
We must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a World Government, patterned after our Own Government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace.
Walter Cronkite
The profession of journalism ought to be about telling people what they need to know - not what they want to know.
Walter Cronkite
The invasion of Iraq was illegal from the start.
Walter Cronkite
Would it be better to have a president who cries easily? Well, that depends on what he cried about. I would not like the thought of a president who could not cry. That would be worse than one who cried over the right things. Which, in this case, would be the things I would cry over.
Walter Cronkite
We cannot defer this responsibility to posterity. Time will not wait.
Walter Cronkite
Success is more permanent when you achieve it without destroying your principles.
Walter Cronkite
Our country today is at a stage in our foreign policy similar to that crucial point in our nation's early history when our Constitution was produced in Philadelphia.
Walter Cronkite
I grew my mustache when I was nineteen in order to look older. I never shaved it off even though it overran its usefulness many, many years ago. Once you get started in television, people associate you with your physical appearance - and that includes the mustache. So I can't shave it off now. If I did, I'd have to answer too much mail.
Walter Cronkite
For many years, I did my best to report on the issues of the day in as objective a manner as possible. When I had my own strong opinions, as I often did, I tried not to communicate them to my audience.
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
We've always known you can gain circulation or viewers by cheapening the product, and now you're finding the bad driving out the good.
Walter Cronkite
