Mr. Cronkite showed Anita Bryant as the bigot she was and made many skeptical and logical stabs at her campaign to "Save Our Children." He even made a mention about gay parents back in the seventies when Bryant made bold claims that gays could never be parents because only straight christians could be "real" or "moral" parents.

He was a true professional in every sense for journalists worldwide. Fox is the other end of the scale in journalism today. They are a truly discusting operation!

Thanks for your brief on WC. It's all I needed to know. I can't bear to watch TV news (and luckily, I live in Canada, where anchorpersons are less volatile). The yelling and the spectacle of Glen Beck's Cry Me A River School of Journalism remind me of the hysteria of the Salem Witch Trials (I'm that old). Cronkite was indeed a class act, and you told us why. Hopefully, his example will be resurrected. I go nuts when I see millionaire anchors cry and moan as if they faced the same problems and outrages as the average American. I would imagine that the most difficult part of Glen Beck's day is the application of waterproof makeup. I DON'T RELATE to their rage, their sense of alienation, or their tears (which must be the result of some other issue in their lives - unless emotional instability is a requisite for getting an anchor's job). Mr. Withers
