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
We are on the precipice of being so ignorant that our democracy is threatened.
Walter Cronkite
This opens the door on another chapter of history.

Walter Cronkite
The great sadness of my life is that I never achieved the hour newscast, which would not have been twice as good as the half-hour newscast, but many times as good.
Walter Cronkite

Walter Cronkite

Walter Cronkite
Our job is only to hold up the mirror - to tell and show the public what has happened.
Walter Cronkite
Interviewing friends is a tough one. Your duty to the interview must transcend your friendship. Occasionally you'll lose a friend.
Walter Cronkite
The invasion of Iraq was illegal from the start.
Walter Cronkite
We cannot defer this responsibility to posterity. Time will not wait.
Walter Cronkite
I'd like to be a song and dance man.
Walter Cronkite
The 60s undoubtedly were the most turbulent years of the century.
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
It seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate.
Walter Cronkite
A system of world order-preferably a system of world government -is mandatory... The proud nations someday will see the light and, for the common good and their own survival, yield up their precious sovereignty.
Walter Cronkite
