They don't make 'em like Walter anymore. Now we got the losers on Faux Newz pretending to be heirs to his legacy. Stephen Colbert is more in line with Cronkite than those 'tards are.

Slartibartfaster: PascalsGhost: I bet you are a blast at parties

I dont go to parties much, I meet too many ignorant farking homophobic assholes
Wanna let me know the next party you are NOT going to ?

LOL, yeah that happens a lot to dickheads who think everybody is a homophobic asshole.

I'm typing this from the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle you stupid farking hypersensitive biatch. "Homophobes" don't stay here long.

Cocksucker.

xpostal: Should have died in the 60's that commie bastard did not deserve one ounce of praise.

Never a true journalist, it was always all about him and not the news. Wake up and look at the truth.

Yes, Walter Cronkite was a communist. I hear he single handedly lost the war for us too.

Britney Spear's Speculum: I submitted this with exactly the same headline.

mine said
Walter Cronkite dead at 92, "And thats the way it is"

When I was in third grade, I heard my teachers whispering that the President had been shot and killed. I thought they were nuts. Nobody could kill the President. Then I went home for lunch and my mother was watching TV in the middle of the day, which was odd. It was Cronkite telling us that JFK was dead. Him I believed. He was Walter farking Cronkite, and that's the way it was.

To Hill-Bert's!!

I tend to bring a raw, almost sexual energy to a thread that does, in fact, make some lesser men uncomfortable.

Im WAY too young to be around when that happen, but for some reason that little story made me feel like I was. Good stuff.

I'm looking at the truth right now, but it seems to have a liberal bias. I'll wait for Glenn Beck to tell me what to believe on Monday.

libbynomore2: I guess that means your too young and STUPID to understand......the man's name is Bu Tin....General of the NVA....either read what he said or STFU......

You believe what a Commie general said?!

Seriously, America didn't invent revisionism; nor does it hold a copyright. Sounds like old war stories...'we were surrounded, out of food, water, ammo, anal lube... about to give up, when Chou did that crazy dance of his and we laughed and cheered up and the sun came up and the enemy was GONE!'

Cronkite got Tet totally wrong.....and ultimately got tens of thousands of soldiers killed......

Nixon's ego and Kissinger didn't have anything to do with it?

Masso: OMG, Walter Conkrite. I think 80% of farkers have him on the dead pool. Are you farkers happy now?

Another dead celebrity, this is getting real creepy.

At least we can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.

The guys at Bohemian Grove are going to be creeped out by the owl this year.

JonnyBGoode: I remember him always covering the space launches. And there was a show back in the 60s or 70s where he would report on historical moments of the past as if they were current events. That was pretty cool. Don't remember the name of it, though.

You Are There.

For my money "That's the way it is" is the best tagline ever. Katie Couric was prolly biatching she didn't get to say it today.

I thought the cartoon Santa Claus was pretty funny.

PascalsGhost: buzzvert: On another note, I have noticed that there's a demographic shift among long-time Farkers due to age (that's a lot of words to say they're aging)- many of them have "grown up" and have somehow developed vestiges of personality with decorum. As such, as their inner farker from 3+ years ago silently tee-hees, while their Fark persona is OUTRAGED at immature humor (no more immature than the stuff they were doing 3+ years ago) spewing from the younger people.

The worst however is the newly-minted mature Farker that somehow think that Fark was EVER mature at its core.

THIS

I understand the humorous side of Fark, even the immature stuff, but when you are old enough to know someone as a part of your life for decades, it's tough to take some of the jokes. Most are fine, but a 50 comment thread on the word cocksucker isn't funny it's pointless.

libbynomore2: Cronkite was a great news reporter, but his ultimate FAIL was claiming that America lost the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam war. The TRUTH comes from Bu Tin, the General in charge of the NVA who knew that the NVA had lost that battle and were prepared to surrender to the U.S. BUT.......when they heard Cronkite's report, they decided to hold out, which lead to the death of no less than 15,000 more U.S. soldiers......

because most Americans trusted and believed everything Cronkite said, he had an extraordinary obligation to be accurate in everything he said......and he usually was.....but in the case of Tet and the Vietnam War, he was totally wrong....and soldiers died because of that.....a catastrophic mistake on his part.....should remind all so-called " journalists " to report the news and keep your personal opinions to yourselves! and for the rest of us....to know the difference between a new reporter and an opinion maker......

And here's an important difference between you and Walter: You have no credibility -- even regarding your own opinion of Walter Cronkite -- because you've long since pissed it away on multiple occasions.

I can pick comments from this thread and make Farkers look like half wits too.

/from both sides

TommyymmoT: MorningBreath: I liked him in the Bad News Bears.

That was Tatum Oneal.

Now THAT'S FUNNY!

what do you get if you cross a 900 pound gorilla with a computer?

And I didn't call Cronkite a cocksucker. I called some righty saying he's a commie a cocksucker, and then it began....

Sometimes I wonder what they would post during famous events in history, like the Kennedy assassination.

Other than the freeptacular (and predictable) trolls, I don't think anyone's really making fun of him. The man was 92, he had a good run, and this is Fark's version of a Mardi Gras funeral... TAKE THE MAN OUT WITH A PARTY! I suggest those that require some more solemn reverence to do something appropriate with a candle in the privacy of your own home.

umm ok.

Name another prominant conservative news anchor other than Brit Hume and the guy that replaced him.

This is Walter Conkrite, I need a ride to woodstock!

In my opinion this meam of posting pictures of objects/people other than whom you are morning is spam, posting devoid of content and should be grounds for banning.

/It started on 4chan isn't that justification enough?

I really liked his old science show, The 21st Century and he was a great newsman. Saw his reporting on the JFK assassination, the moon landing and watched his last broadcast.

RIP

This thread reminds me why I farking despise 4chan. I don't even know much about Walter Cronkite and it still pisses me off to see people doing that stupid "oh it's funny if you post the wrong picture after someone dies" thing. Get a farking life, you lameasses. Repetition is only funny if the original joke was funny, not when it's just a bunch of sheep copying eachother because they don't know how to be original and want to impress other people on the internet with their retarded meme knowledge.
