I always thought he was in the 50's and 60's, but then he turned radical left wing liberal, or I just grew up and understood better. Now I would NEVER watch or listen to him. He is just like PBS's Moyer....Yuck!

Cronkite wasn't known for being pleasant. He rarely smiled. What he was as news anchor was reliable and unflinchingly honest. Rather than 'pleasant' I'd say 'trusted.'

No, that would be Captain Kangaroo or Mr. Rogers. They never delivered any bad news....

I grew up watching Walter Cronkite and he was mostly business but I remember well the day he cried real tears and showed his shock when President Kennedy was shot & killed.

His Television persona was that of mister nice guy, however he was a hard nosed honest newsman, who could be as tenacious as the next guy when it came to getting the story, and getting it right.

Walter Cronkite has always been the "most trusted man in America." How pleasant he was who knows?

Wasn't Mr. Rogers the most pleasant television personality?
