I am hearing that Mr. Cronkite died today, but I don't understand why it is all over the news absolutely everywhere? He is just a news reporter guy right? I feel bad for asking this, but I feel worse for not knowing. Yes I know he was a news anchor, but there are lots of those out there, so what makes Walter Cronkite so special? I don't even understand why Michael Jackson is such a big deal, and who ever even heard of Walter Cronkite until today?
Thnaks!
Eh, he's a popular news anchor for a lot of reasons. First of all, he did the CBS Nightly News for a like 2 decades, and any anchor on there is going to get a lot of popularity. Plus, he's the news anchor who broke the news about the Kennedy assassination, so he's remembered for that, too.
People like Michael Jackson and Walter Cronkite might not be important to you, but to people living during the Kennedy assassination and during Jackson's prime years, they're important people. And in response to your last question, I think most people have heard of Walter Cronkite, haha.
Here's the wiki site for him if you want more information:
