Did Everybody Really Love Walter Cronkite?
No, everybody did not love Walter Cronkite. Here are Jackie and Dunlap’s opinions…..
“Old people don’t like all other old people”…..so very true.
I have a sneakin’ suspicion that we are not going to be bombarded for a solid week of 24/7 tributes, “late-breaking news”, and “the life and times of” on Walter Cronkite. He is neither a bleached blond ex-playmate (Anna Nicole) nor The King of Pop (Michael Jackson). Sorry, Walter….not enough scandals or weirdness about you to hold our attention for more than a day. Maybe, if you had been accused of being a pedophile, tried to buy the bones of the elephant man, was a Peter Pan wannabe, needed an DNA test on your children, or did a reality show while you were overweight, you might have stood a chance for a TMZ investigation. Living a relatively scandal free life just doesn’t cut the mustard with the media these days.
As a society, we are sad. Very, very sad.

I can’t decide if the media gives people what they want or if people are fascinated by any pap the media feeds us.
