I Killed Walter Cronkite

I posted on Tuesday that I don't like him and now he's dead.

Who wants to be next.

 

martha stewart please!

 

Yes dear.

 

i think he had been near dead for a couple weeks now. i recall having a conversation about him being on deaths door ..

good riddance i say. he was nothing more than a new world order mouth piece.

 

That's The Way It Was... with Walter Cronkite RIP

...just a few days short of the 40th anniversary of his all-time favorite news story, the landing of Apollo 11 on the moon. Nobody loved the space program more than he did.

 

The religion here is slick and fast
and so polished as to have no name,
soaked-up, subliminal and not-so-
subliminal, night after night, a ritual
aesthetic, fills the spaces, tele-grazing
vidiots, coccooning, periscopes up,
retreating, hermetically sealed in a
sensual immediacy and intensity,
perceptions rendered into many
languages, structured, amusing
ourselves to death in an endless
round of entertainment and some
disturbing shallowness, glamour,
exoticism and chicness with our
perceptions structured, in an eider-
down of unreality and a smorgasbord
of ephemeral, light-weight, engineered
appearances with revolution coming to
be closer to sheer impulse-a narcotizing
dysfunction and truth running along behind
an implosion of playful trivia..knowledge’s
vast explosion everywhere in evidence.......

THE ANCHORMAN

Walter Cronkite began his journalist work in the American midwest in 1937. This was right at the start of the Baha’i teaching Plan, the Seven Year Plan of 1937-1944, a Plan I came to be associated with in one of its many extensions in the years 1953-1963. Walter’s soothing voice became one of the most familiar sounds on television, first in the 1950s and then beginning in April 1962 when he became the anchorman for the CBS Evening News until 1981, the year of his retirement. By 1962 I was on my way, my travelling-way to so many towns I lost count. But Walter was always there at the core providing the feeling that the world was all well and in its place. He was like a goalie in hockey. He was like an early warning-system telling me that something was coming my way.

Fortunately for readers, since his retirement he was able to extend his career in journalism and combine it with a lifetime of sailing adventures. The result was his book1 which he so generously shared with us two decades after that retirement. -Ron Price with thanks to 1Walter Cronite, Around America: A Tour of Our Magnificent Coastline, Author Norton, 2001.

You’d just become the CBS anchorman, Walter,
when I took another anchor to the next town in
my first pioneering move in what seem now like
the halcyon years of that Ten Year Crusade, then.

My anchor, lifted from time to time, and I was off
on a great sailing adventure, on an unknown sea in
a tempest difficult to define and understand, one of
unprecedented and such unpredictable magnitude.

We pressed on, you and I, you in the public eye,
Walter, and me in a smaller, much smaller eye.
Life, reported on or lived, dangerous bridegroom
and to survive we need to see each day going-out
to war and, at the same time, give ourselves up to
intense enjoyment or what is the point, eh Walter?

We must travel light, keep our spirit up, find some
philosophy, some method, some attitude-humorous
kindness and affection, feel some reverence, some
resolute persistence with a chart to sail through those
stormy seas, eh? Eh Walter? Eh? Best wishes, Walter!

Meh. He was a cranky old dude who loved to publicly admonish and embarrass those who chose words without care or openly used vulgarities.

I can't take anyone who made themselves famous by reading a teleprompter seriously. At least Andy Rooney has a sense of humor.

 

I'm too young and not American enough to care about this death...


But...

Using big words and lots of commas does not make a shitty poem good.

 

You think they had teleprompters in 1962 ??? lol

 

"if the NWO is the work of the devil - then i am proud to be at the right hand of Satan"

Perhaps not literally, but he read whatever they put in front of him. That, proper diction, a nice vocabulary and shitty poetry does not make one noteworthy.

 

You made everything else happen as well.

You might as well step up to the plate and take responsibility for it. :toetap05:

 

God that was boring.
I'm glad the boring sod is now dead.

 

:smilielol5:

LULZ,, yes it was a horrid speech.. but he did indeed make that statement..lol

youll have to excuse me if i loathe anyone that supports global governance.. im just that way..

 

I did my best. I just couldn't watch it.

We have global governance already. Not complete, but not far off.
I won't go there though.

 

you dont nor have you ever heard me deny that.

it does not mean i have to support it or like it though does it?

 

It is in some ways a good thing our opinions are ignored in the grand scheme of things.

 

At first glance I thought this was the original spoof thread.

 

I wouldn’t worry about the WFA

Most of those league of nations wannabe’s are so old they’ll either be dead, in a nursing home, or suffering from alzheimer’s disease within five years
