The most trusted man in America

You've heard by now that Walter Cronkite died. Not at all unexpected, but it's still a sad moment. Cronkite's brand of journalism has been dead for a long time but somehow his passing makes it seem more permanent. I'll probably have more to say about it tomorrow but for tonight, it seems kind of fitting for the moment to post a song by Blind Faith.



In 1969 we didn't have the internets. We connected with drugs and music and VW buses. We didn't have 24/7 news except for really important occassions. And for those -- we had Cronkite. [via Pam Leavey]
