Walter Cronkite R.I.P.

It's widely known by now that former-TV journalist Walter Cronkite died last week. W.C. was the epitome of journalism, classy, smart, and hard working.

Today's "professional" writers are sickening, they will do whatever it takes to break that story that will make them famous. Recently I've seen TV journalists quote MySpace and Facebook, report on speculation, and my personal favorite reporting unconfirmed rumors. Come On!

W.C. will be sorely missed, his delivery of the nightly news will never be matched. Katie Couric take note, sorry but Katie will never be able to live up to her predecessor.

It's been said that journalism is dying, if we writers could learn to be even a little more like W.C. our industry would not be facing the hangman's noose.
