More quotes by Walter Cronkite
So now the question is, basically, right now, how will the Osama Bin Laden tape affect the election? And I have a feeling that it could tilt the election a bit. In fact, I'm a little inclined to think that Karl Rove, the political manager at the White House, who is a very clever man, that he probably set up bin Laden to this thing.

Everybody knows that there's a liberal, that there's a heavy liberal persuasion among correspondents.
Walter Cronkite
I'm a romanticist in many ways. I never get behind the wheel of my boat and dropping the anchor without saying to myself, secretly giving my orders to the crew All right, lift the anchor, we're on our way to South Hampton. We're gonna beat them there with this load of tea!
Walter Cronkite
It is a seldom proffered argument as to the advantages of a free press that it has a major function in keeping the government itself informed as to what the government is doing.

It seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate.
Walter Cronkite
And that's the way it is.
Walter Cronkite
Pat Robertson has written in a book a few years ago that we should have a world government, but only when the Messiah arrives. He wrote, literally, any attempt to achieve world order before that time must be the work of the Devil. Well join me - I’m glad to sit here at the right hand of Satan.
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. Now, however, my circumstances are different. I am in a position to speak my mind. And that is what I propose to do.

This opens the door on another chapter of history.
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.

News reporters are certainly liberal and left of center.
Walter Cronkite
I never had the ambition to be something. I had the ambition to do something.
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.
