The Most Trusted Man In America

Walter Cronkite was before my time but i'll pay my respects to a fellow Texan and Longhorn every time. Not only was he a UT alum but a wonderful man and brought to us so many hard news stories to tell.  You won't find a classier man then he is. News is he is gravely ill, and is soon to pass away. my prayers and thoughts are with him and his family. As i'm sure all BON is. All of us will get are horns up to him. There won't be another anchor man like him so here's to you

Gosh, I'm sorry to hear this news.

Walter Cronkite is truly one of the all-time greats. He rose to the top when we had true journalists with ethics and integrity. I’ll pray for him.

As a journalism student, the first thing my teacher taught us about was Journalistic ethics. The first man that he mentioned was Walter Cronkite. I pray that he die quickly and painlessly.

Sensitivity?

Praying for the man to die quickly comes across as quite insensitive. I hope your journalism classes help out with that.
