Being born in 69 I grew up through childhood hearing him say that not long before my bedtime. i missed it when he retired.
God Bless you, Uncle Walter, and rest in peace. You established a legacy that no one newscaster has yet to meet, let alone top. You will be sorely missed. "And that's the way it is."
It was a superb, brilliant, and unforgettable move on his part. I have always LOVED hearing him say that!
My main man Walt!!! I remember as a kid growing up in South Memphis in the early 70's i would watch you, Roger Mudd, Eric Severeid, and Dan Rather. I will never forget you. RIP
God Bless you Mr. Cronkite!
It was an excellent, brilliant, and unforgettable decision to end each broadcast that way. I still LOVE to hear him say that! I too never missed the CBS Evening News during his prime.
God bless you Mr. Cronkite! You were a great man with a good heart! RIP
It's fun and interesting to re-experience Walter Cronkite's news broadcasts on UA-cam. Frankly, I still get chills to the bone when I hear him say, "And that's the way it is."
Thanks for the news Mr. Cronkite! Rest now!
one of the best jurnalest in the 20 century. we wiil miss you
I love this, they should have one with him again, speacially with his health scare. Thanks archive TV for this, time to watch. :)
@mediamadman747 ...So simply put, yet SO true! What a decline "journalism" has witnessed in the 28 years since Mr. Cronkite signed off for the last time as anchor. "And that's what we want you to think." Very well said, MediaMadman...
RIP Walter Cronkite. When I was young I always got you mixed up with Captain Kangaroo.
I was too young to remember Walter from anything else except a few videos he narrated about dinosaurs, but I know that I liked him. May he rest in peace.
Good Gracious!!!
What integrity they had compared with today!
They were concerned that they would mislead people by saying "That's the way it is". And they knew it wasn't right.
News has changed.
You aren't alone ... I used to confuse them too.
Walter's voice at Bohemian Grove's "cremation of care" ritual, that's the way it really is!
Mine is: From all of us here at Barney's apartment,get out.
God rest his soul.
Still a lot of people feel wrong about stuff the news stations they work for say . . . take a look at the recent projects involving Olbermann.
and that's the way it was..and that's the way i like it ..uhu uhu uhu....
@mediamadman747 lol
what a load... Huntley and Brinkley had the natural "good night Chet; Good night David" as well as the ratings and 'Old Ironpants' wanted something to top them. That was never the way it was... that was 22 minutes of a world filled with events in need of covering. It was arrogant, assumptive and the country bought it.
