Overstating his case

Although Cronkite made in impact on the world with his reporting, his lessons definitely didn't transfer over to Gen X 'journalists' like the worthless David Gregory.

However, the last generation to know him as a newsman on CBS every night, Generation X, had him for only a few years, but even so, he made a lasting impression on many if not all of us. We were young, very young and only starting to become fully engaged with the events of the world around us when he was forced into retirement by CBS. Events like Watergate and his role in helping the Washington Post’s investigative reporting receive the full attention it deserved may or may not be remembered by those within our generation. Nevertheless Walter Cronkite’s unceasing duty to the truth let all know that there is a proverbial candle in the dark despite the attempts that are made so often to extinguish it.
