Cronkite's Legacy
Walter Cronkite passed away this weekend; he leaves no legacy.
My letter to the editor of the Boston Globe, which chose to include quotes from Katie Kouric (CBS News; embarrassed by Dan Rather agreeing to be Sen. John F. Kerry's hitman by airing a slip-shod hit piece on President Bush during the 2004 election), Brian Williams (NBC News; which doesn't know if the United States is still meddling in a civil war in Iraq), Don Hewitt (CBS News; see previous notation), Presidents Obama and Clinton, and America's favorite liberal, George Clooney, in an appreciation; it needs no introduction:
Editor,
It was at the same time the mother of all irony and shamelessness to include quotes of today's liberal shills, who masquerade as "news" anchors and "news" executives, in an obituary praising Walter Cronkite for his objectivity and professionalism (News legend Cronkite dies at 92, July 18, A1). (End of letter.)
Apologies for another short post, summer baseball, basketball, softball and hockey (yes, hockey!), has me running from work to a field, court or rink so not much time for an involved post.

I agree- If I hear one more "important" person tell us all how middle of the road WC was or how you could never tell where he personally stood on issue I think I may scream.
(Also, its Couric, with a C not a K, but of course you knew that!)
gretzky's parents only allowed him to play hockey "in season"...
