More quotes by Walter Cronkite
Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day-23 minutes-and that's supposed to be enough.
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
Probably the most important single element that I found in my own marriage was a sense of humor. My wife had a delicious sense of humor, and I think I have an adequate one.
Walter Cronkite
Ethics must be reintroduced to public service to restore people's faith in government. Without such faith, democracy cannot flourish. Your ambitious agenda is filling a desperate need.
Walter Cronkite
Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.
Walter Cronkite
In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story.
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
Dan Rather and I just aren't especially chummy.
Walter Cronkite
Television [is] a high-impact medium. It does some things no other force can do-transmitting electronic pictures through the air. Still, as an explored, comprehensive medium, it is not a substitute for print.
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
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
The debates are part of the unconscionable fraud that our political campaigns have become a format that defies meaningful discourse. They should be charged with sabotaging the electoral process.
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
I want to say that probably 24 hours after I told CBS that I was stepping down at my 65th birthday, I was already regretting it. And I regretted it every day since.
Walter Cronkite
We are not educated well enough to perform the necessary act of intelligently selecting our leaders.
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
The sweet smell of the South, of Camellias and Azaleas, clings to Beaufort's ancient and historic buildings.
Walter Cronkite
I'd like to be a song and dance man.
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
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.
