Walter Cronkite has passed away at the age of 92.


Cronkite is the voice that comes into my head when I think of the milestones that took place during my youth. From the Kennedy assassination to the Moon landing "Uncle" Walt was the man who delivered into our living rooms both the good, as well as the not so good, news.

And no matter how bad the news was he made you feel that competent people were aware of the problem and that everything would be alright.

(I cannot tell you how bizarre it feels to follow a post about that whiny little bitch below with the news of this great man's passing. People like Glenn Beck took what Cronkite made magic and reduced it to a sideshow.)

Katie Couric wins Walter Cronkite award for asking Sarah Palin all of those GOTCHA questions. Oh somebody is not going to be too happy about this!

Special Achievement for National Impact on the 2008 Campaign

Katie Couric, the anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News, was honored for her extraordinary, persistent and detailed multi-part interviews with Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin which judges called a “defining moment in the 2008 presidential campaign
.”

Sarah Palin is going to flip her lid when she finds out that Couric is actually going to be rewarded for exposing her ignorance and lack of intelligence to the American people.

You do remember those wonderful interviews don't you? Well if you don't then let's revisit them together shall we?





I don't know how many times I have watched these interviews, but you know they never get old for me.

Congratulation Katie Couric! You definitely deserve recognition for the fine journalistic integrity you demonstrated while trying to ask this crazy woman simple fundamental questions.
