Walter Cronkite, the CBS anchorman known as “Uncle Walter” for his easygoing, measured delivery and “The most trusted man in America” for his rectitude and gravites, died Friday night in his new york home, CBS reported.
President Barack Obama said Cronkite "was someone we could trust to guide us through the most important issues of the day; a voice of certainty in an uncertain world. He was family. He invited us to believe in him, and he never let us down."
